Slowtralia

We have now arrived in Sidney, after a grueling 20 hour flight divided by an hours stop for fuel and new passengers in Singapore. Unlike the swift and fast-working internet we selfishly utilized at the Frankfurt airport (outside the Emirates lounge), the free Optus-internet here in Sidney, is something completely different. You cant log in unless you make an account which is in fact, quite impossible to make with
a Finnish phone number, so you are forced to use the computers with the most awful keyboards. I'm not even going to worry about my spelling or marks, because it will just be a waste of time.

The flights have been surprisingly convenient. I especially liked all the free junk we got from Qantas and the food wasn't too bad either. I also got a ''good nights sleep'', three hours of not thinking about being on an aeroplane that is. Well, at least we had a choice of stuff to watch or play on the Qantas demand -program. Must say, I watched the film Australia, and did not like it at all!! It was one of those never ending weepy movies, with five different story lines and a female lead who kept changing her personality. Not that I like Nicole Kidman too much anyway...

Well its about time I let my mother use the keyboard from hell (or Australia) so I'll report back later. (And perhaps correct my spelling too.)

Aye mateys!
