Spent a couple of days in Canberra, the Capital of Australia. Very clean and
beautiful city. Did a couple of touristy things...museums, nature reserves etc.
Visited with my daughter's friends and talked about the differences between living
here and at home. The biggest I found is that many residences have a underground
water storage tank, some over 100000 liters capacity just for the house! They also
said their kids learn
Chinese in school since China is their biggest trading partner. We did notice a
lot of Asian restaurants, so to taste the culture we tried one. My daughter who has
lived here for 8 months had the chopsticks mastered long ago, but I could not get
the hang of it and had to ask for a knife and fork. I won't show the aftermath of
my attempt with chopsticks!
Off to Melbourne tomorrow.
