moved stuff around
it's a good idea to separate the documents from the templates

Had a shower, and noticed: +bathroom heating is done with lamps. This, and the fact that thet have +electrical plates to cook, an electrical oven, an el. kettle, and so on, makes +me think they're not very concerned with energy consumption. + +Oh, yes: the bathroom seems not to have been cleaned in ages. Just a +superficial cleaning from time to time, but nothing really deep. Hope next +house will be cleaner. Have to bear in mind that they inherited British +taditions. + +Before Maryann can drive me to catch the bus, a Thai student arrives. She +understands maybe one word out of ten. However she consents to come to the city +with us. So Maryann drives both of us to Station st. (North Wollongong railway +station), where I had to catch the bus (the Thai student returning home to +rest). The excursion had been organized for a group of HongKong students, +mostly girls. Pretty ones, too. First stop: riding! The scenery is magnificent. +Nobody had ever rode before, so they put us on very tame horses. We ride +through the wood (bush they say here) in line. Nice experience. Next stop: BBQ +lunch. I was the only one not to have brought something to eat, so I just got +more BBQ'ed sausages than any other one. We were BBQ'ing in the park near +Woronora Dam, nice view of the canals & basins. + +Then we went to see the animals, at Symbio (greek word?) Wildilfe park. +Kangaroos, koalas, wonbats, emus, ostrichs, birds. Made pictures. + +Back to the bus, we return towards Wollongong via the coastal road. Great view +of the ocean: must go see the beach sometimes. + +Returned home, only to find that the Thai student hadn't understood a +fundamental thing: she is not to remain here! She had unpacked most of her +baggage, and when we succeed in explaining her that she has to move to her +homestay family, she runs packing all her things. Had to watch for her not to +take any of my things! + +Dinner with pizza (oh hell! why they don't change the name? it has nothing to +do with Italian pizza!), and a rented movie: Inspector Gadget. Not bad, but the +French cartoon was funnier (and less pretentious). + +Thought of the day: streetsigns. In Europe (and US, I'm told) there are +symbolic signs: you don't need to know the local language to read them, they're +the same everywhere. Not in Australia: No standing with left/right arrows, +Wrong way, go back when you enter a one-way street from the wrong side, left +turn permitted on red after stopping (at a crossing, with traffic lights: and +maybe they complain about accidents!) |
