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!) |
