Today, after my compounding lab I took the time to go the motor vehicle licencing office to get a Western Australian driver’s licence. Since I’ve been here less than three months I was able to walk up to the counter, show them my Canadian licence, and receive an Australian licence. Nothing else was involved except a $35 fee for the exchange – I even got to keep my Canadian licence. No test! I don’t know how this is possible. The road laws are different here oh and … THEY DRIVE ON THE WRONG SIDE OF THE ROAD. I should really have to take a test because I don’t know how it all works. They may as well be giving away drivers permits on the back of cereal boxes, I’m thinking corn flakes or even raisin bran. In fact, after witnessing how terrible some of the drivers are here my whole cereal box theory doesn’t seem so far fetched.
Anyway, after getting my permit Stephen, Danielle and I took a walk over to a local shopping mall sort of place. It was like a outdoor mall. There was a Subway restaurant there so I enjoyed a foot-long meatball sub. It was tasty. Upon return to the car we noticed that it had a boot attached to the front wheel. Great, more hassles in Perth!!! An hour and a half later and $120 AUD we were out of there. The whole thing was a joke and I don’t want to get into it but its just another THING.
I’ve spent this evening hunting a giant cockroach that keeps showing up in the kitchen. He’s absolutely massive and will certainly count for two kills on the cockroach kill counter. He only comes out when the lights are off so I have to leave the room and turn the lights off for a while to bait it out. I don’t think I’ll be able to sleep soundly tonight unless he’s dead.

If you know what corner he is coming out of, you should just tilt a (big) bowl up against it, then he will think it is dark and come out. That's when you flip the bowl downward, trap him, and kill him.
Or you could continue your game.
Maybe you guys should buy a cat or something that would kill them.
Also, I bet a high school diploma is more difficult to attain then a drivers license? Crazy.
Sorry I missed your call last night. I was a-workin' at the Bux. I worked at a different one that night and it was so much better. The girl I was working with was from Calgary. I love Alberta people more and more. They don't have the West Coast Chill complex.
