Okay, one of the first things I've done after reading this chapter was googling 'Waltzing Matilda' and listening to the song. This is what I love about this story - it doesn't just entertain, but educates. That's great!
Also, though Pam disagrees with me, I think it would be cute if the first night together they spent just sleeping :)
Author's Response: Thank you! I'm glad you're enjoying all aspects of the story! And I might agree with you, but trying to figure out Pam's POV I think she wouldn't...

To be fair, I would *totally stay at a touristy trap like the Big Apple Hostel in New York (*if I was 10 years younger & actually stayed in hostels. Give me the creature comforts of an actual hotel any day). But Pam & Jim as locals-ish probably not so much.
This whole exchange continues to be banter-y and adorable. I’m glad they’re going to their own rooms. Now they have things straightened up between them, it’s nice for them to have a few moments to process it all before really diving in.
The way Pam has been gently teasing him every step of the way has been just perfect. I love that there’s a little moment like that in every chapter. She really does never quit - and it’s delightful.
Author's Response: I mean, so would I, but I think Pam and Jim think of themselves as a little more sophisticated about the town since they're closer to it (same asterisk as you of course). Thank you for the review, and I really am glad you're enjoying the teasing.

I really didn’t think you would set them up at the same hostel. But I love it! Love how you tied it to the German tourists. Can’t wait to read what happens next
Author's Response: Thank you! I planned that for a while, so I'm glad it came as a surprise :) hopefully a good one.

Once a jolly Swagman camped by a billabong.
Under the shade of a coolibah tree.
And he sang as he sat and waited 'till his billy boiled.
You'll come a-Waltzing Matilda with me.
Waltzing Matilda, Waltzing Matilda,
You'll come a-Waltzing Matilda with me.

Great song. Which I in no way shape or form have listened to quite a few (dozen) times for research purposes for one of my own stories. *shift eyes around for one of the other constant reviewers on this site*
Anyway, I digress. Great banter between them. As good as your introspection is, the playful and teasing banter we have on display is just as good. Great to see them having fun like this.
Author's Response: I wonder what story? Thanks for the review! I enjoyed the banter, so I'm glad it's working for other people.
