Back to it!

After a short hiatus, including a couple of weeks in Australia, I am back in the swing of things! Lucky for us, we have one week of school before Steph and I head off to Shanghai and Beijing for a week.

Things I have learned from Australia:

  • It is possible for some people to not own a jacket of any kind - the weather is that nice. I have 4.
  • Service in Australia (waiters, shop keepers) is amazingly bad. I guess if you pay servers $17/hour and don't use tipping, you get indifferent workers, and angry 6'7" Canadians.
  • Food and drink are expensive (compared to Canada)
  • The weather is unbelievably nice almost all the time(unless you get caught there in the rainy season) but the Australians still only call it "fine".
  • There are over 1,000 creatures in Australia that can kill you. They can get you anywhere at any time. Don't swim, walk, eat, breathe or go to the bathroom without watching your back!

    More to come!

    Glad to have you back!

    Now the only things that bite that you have to worry about are baby octopus and Steph!
