So I forgot to document the way that the water drains clockwise (I’ve also come to know that the Aussies refer to our water draining as anti-clockwise), but I did notice this below.

First, the socket looks like the “Scream” painting (Skrik, 1893 is a seminal series of expressionist paintings by Norwegian artist Edvard Munch).

Second, in the land down under, the switch is down for on and up for off.

The toilet has two flush buttons. The one at the top has a line through the middle of it. I never heard a formal explanation for this, so I would assume that it’s a half flush, and the bottom button is a full flush.

I’m not making any comparisons to the bathroom and my breakfast, I was just doubling up the posts.

I walked around in the morning and found a little cafe to have breakfast at ($35.00 just seemed too much for a meal at the hotel). I walked in and they told me that they had a special today and I said that I’d take it. I had decided early on in the trip that I would be eating some odd stuff so I decided to embrace it and try whatever came my way.

This is bruschetta bread with eggs and bacon. Pretty good stuff.

So I got in a bit late and decided to have dinner at the hotel. It was a buffet style dinner for only $35.00 and a mere $4.50 for a glass of lemon-aid. So I had lamb curry and then tried some octopus and some desserts.

It was still a bit early so I hit the streets. It was a Thursday night so I didn’t expect their to be a huge night life, but we had decided to come to stay in Fremantle because it had a night life. What I didn’t know at the time is that the people only come out on the weekend. So I would turn down a street and be the ONLY person out. It was a bit odd.

This is looking off to the right from my balcony.

Well, I’ve come to find out that Western Australia is the largest state and that it takes up about 1/3 of the whole country.

The capital city, Perth, is the most isolated city of over one million people in the world, being 1307 miles from Adelaide. Perth is closer to Jakarta, Indonesia (1,868 miles) than it is to Sydney(2,041 miles).

So, I flew into Perth and then Hired a car at the airport to drive down to Fremantle where I’d be staying. (I forgot to get a picture of the car so I found this shot online)

This is really me though. I propped open the door and set the camera’s timer to take this shot. I had to take two photos and stitch them together.

The Kuala Lumpur airport was pretty neat. I was sitting and waiting for my connecting flight and I turned on my laptop. I don’t remember exactly what time it was back home, but I decided that I would use skype to call our home line so that Jenna could get onto skype and we could talk a bit. So I called up and then my computer started beeping that I was running out of power. I found a wall plug, pulled out the adapter and the web cam, and talked to my family. I had a few people stop and look at what I was doing. That was pretty cool.
