Rachel is down in rehab having some electrified acupuncture, she suggested that I have a go, I said I would be happy to shove some needles into anyone who wanted them (that is not what she meant).

Thankfully rach is a bit better today after a bad day yesterday where she spent most of the day in bed. She will be up for a full day of rehab today. One benefit to come from the waiting at certain times is that I have read a novel from start to finish (rare for me) in 2 days (and yes it was 4x as long as a western). Un fortunately there is no english news on the TV, although there is Bloomberg of a morning which if nothing else keeps us up to date with the world markets (not sure what benefit that is rachel).

Coming back from Walmart in a Taxi the other night was interesting. First he was driving a manual but not using the clutch (now has welll rounded gears i’m sure). I went to pay him and we got into a blue over the money I gave him. His english was non-existent and my Italian background had gestures were not getting me anywhere. Anyway I handed him a $100 RMB (chinese currency where 5.8 rmb:A$1) and he gave me the change. I realised the next morning why he was going nuts when i presented the same notes (what I thought were $1 notes) to the shop downstairs and the young lass (who I think fancies me) explained that my $1 notes were 10 cent notes (trust the chinese to come up with a 10 cent note). I see now why the cabbies was going nuts and in the end ripped me off for 10rmb.

Enough stories for now (more tomorrow) as I need to go and pick Rach up from down stairs.

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU ALL

NOTE: You can buy a long neck of beer for approx 40 cents on special. Their wine is not so good so far (will keep looking ).
