The driver sits on the left side of the car and they drive on the other side of the road. Can get very confusing because I was always told as a child to look both ways, I look right and see nothing and start walking.....not a great idea!!
also.... driving on the other side of the road also means that when walking on the sidewalk you should keep to the left of the sidewalk or you will be walking into very angry looking aussies. I didn't quite understand why they were walking straight at me and giving me evil looks.
Its extremely difficult to find recycling here.... Whats the deal with that!! This can cause some problems when your dating a very recycling conscious person.
Customer service blows!! Not only does it suck getting supper at places and getting any kind of service checks, places like vodaphone lie to you about their services and tell you all these things about your phone to find out later that your phone is not compatible. Right now Jods is over there giving them shit. Hopefully it works out.
While camping in Byron I have never seen stars so bright. I have done some camping in Canada in fairly remote areas but I have never seen stars so friggen bright. It is also harder to find constellations in the southern hemisphere.
The animals and wildlife are awesome here. Its so funny how you look around and every single animal is so much different then Canada, except for the fucking seagulls and pigeons, of course those bastards have to be here too. We don't know the names of the birds so we created names for them. There's yellow face, mohawk, sex bird (makes a noise that kinda sounds like "oh yeah" and it makes the noise louder and louder and in a higher pitch until it, well you know.....makes a climax like sound). The June bugs are massive, the frogs are quite large, the lizards are awesome and we haven't seen any spiders or snakes worth talking about.
Byron Bay was having a drug crack down while we were there. This is because of the schoolies, the growing drug problem and the fact that Nimbin is so close. Nimbin is a wonderful little town full of dopers and crazy people, there are some hippies there too. Its a really neat town worth taking a look at. Expensive and crappy product though. With that being said we were in Byron at a bar and saw a puppy running around. We immediately try to get its attention and pet it (jods loves her puppies), apparently trying to get the attention of a police drug dog is not a smart idea. Once we realized it was a drug dog we decided thats not a dog we want to befriend. Luckily our Nimbin purchase was long gone by that point.
I LOVE BOOGIE BOARDING!!!
I can't wait to get on a surf board!! maybe tomorrow.
Oh yeah..... There is a bird here that sounds exactly like a bunch of laughing monkeys. No shit, it sounds hilarious. You wake up in the morning and it sounds like a whole bunch of monkeys are laughing at you.
Cats here are not friendly.
Thats all for now. Im sure I will have many more random thoughts for ya
