will just copy and post what i put as 2 entries on the dopamine boards, cos i'm short on time in a net cafe, sorry....
hi everyone, i'm using darren's uncles pooter in hong kong atm...been here a week now, and fly to adelaide tonight. its about 29 degrees and humid here, but i've kind of got used to it now, which is just as well cos it will be 36 degrees in adelaide when we land. hong kong's great, very busy, no-one owns a car cos public transport is varied, cheap, clean and efficient. the food's excellent, i've eaten more rice and noodles this week than i've done in my entire life. chinese puddings suck though. their idea of dessert is red bean soup. i've been to the beach a couple of times just to get away from the crowds really, i think i'd get claustrophic if i lived here full time..every building is a high rise. its very pretty at night though, when all the neon lights are on...even the big banking towers are lit up like xmas trees. i'll post some pics once we get to oz and can hook up our digital camera and download them.
gonna go repack our cases now ready for tonight
later peeps

hey, am in adelaide at a net cafe, so just a quick one...found a place to rent after a nightmare few days looking round at shit houses...we've found one thats recently done up, with a new kitchen, and they allow pets, so we've done ok there really...also the landlords are a nice friendly couple who live 5 mins away and have said they'll help out with anything we need to know about oz....we've opened a bank account with a lovely bank person who gave us entertainment and dining out vouchers that she had kicking around at home and wasn't using....people are so friendly here!....we also had our first ever car crash...we were crossing a busy intersection on sunday, we were on green and some idiot ran the red light on my side and hit the car....i saw it coming but there wasn't a damn thing we could do, we were just lucky he didn't hit where i was sitting but got the rear side instead...ripped the entire back bumper off the rental car...anyhow, we'd taken the extra insurance so it cost us $300 but coulda been a lot more otherwise. to be honest i was just glad to be alive! they all drive like nutters here....adelaide is the accident capital of australia and i can see why!
right, gotta go look online for jobs....later!
