How to not promote international relations ...

I did little to further the rest of the world's perception of Australia at the hostel last evening when I proceeded to whip the butts of two Pommies and a Japanese girl at Monopoly. Geez, I love that game. I'm pictured with the loot and a big bottle of Heineken that I bought from the convenience store next door to the hostel. There, I saw a female shopkeeper hit a male shoplifter (as opposed to a shirtlifter) with a rubber mallet. I wish I got that on film! The stupid fool then cried assault before kicking the shopkeeper a few times and running away. Idiot.

I'll cruise around Seattle today and hopefully see one of my favourite singer-songwriters, John Vanderslice, at a record store. Then it's off to Vancouver.
