I’m off to Australia. When me and the Jennyral got to the airport, with 15 minutes to check-in deadline, the check-in clerk told us we needed a visa. To Australia. Even though we’re Swedish. I thought nobody required visa for Swedes. I saw the 30 grand SEK we paid for the ticket get wings and fly off. He stood there smiling and looked at us for a few seconds, before he finally mentioned that we could get visas over at the ticketing desk. Why didn’t he say that right away!? We got the visas, and now we’re in Australia.
My laptop broke, so I had to get a new one. It wasn’t the easiest thing to do, having no juridical presence in Australia, but I finally persuaded some company into renting me one. Internet at the hotel is $5 an hour or $12 for six hours. There’s no idle timeout, so if I fall asleep those six hours will be gone after six hours. After sleeping away a couple of six hour tickets, I negotiated a deal with the hotel and bought six one-hour ticket for $12. Now I will at least sleep away no more than 55 minutes each time.
I got a parking ticket yesterday. That means I’ve now got parking tickets from Australia, Germany, Austria, USA, Canada, Denmark, Sweden, Thailand, Indonesia and Holland.
