Australia

I'm in Australia this week, and not having a great time. The weather is sunny but really not hot enough, people are too cool and friendly for comfort, they drive so slowly that it makes roads boring -- especially when you miss the fun of spending half an hour to find a parking space. Beaches are way too big and as a result devoid of sunbathers, pop-corn sellers, kids throwing balls at you or crying. Pavements are too wide, too clean, cars stop at zebra crossings... I could go on and on, but it's too depressing and I'd rather leave this free internet access zone and go back to swimming (after I walked a mile or so, damn Pacific tide!).
