Here at Last!

Well, I am finally in Aussieland. It has been a long trip with many stops and visits through customs but I made it with only one small problem, my visa had the wrong passport number - which they were able to fix in about ten minutes.

They actually have peanut butter down under, which I am really excited about. Apparently I must try Veggimite on this trip, which I am not looking forward to (don't worry, I will update you on that experience). Aussies also have McDonalds, Burger King (called Hungry Jack), Kmart, and 7 Eleven. They also have several types of cars that are the same as ours and I have seen many utes similar to that on MacLeod's Daughters.

Well, I guess that is all for now. I must go get some sleep.

PS - Word has it they skate counter clockwise, unless there is a DJ at the skating rink who gets them to switch directions (I have yet to witness this however).
