+Diario - 15 July
+================
+
+Today I'll go to a park, to see some animals. 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!)
