Mike!

What a wonderful travelogue you have written for us!  I'm going to archive 
it so I can read it again when we eventually get around to exporting 
ourselves for a year or two (much better to live there for a while than try 
to afford time and money for an extended holiday - and since everyone plans 
to visit us, we won't have to leave for the duration!).

p.s. When that horridly reductionist and racist "how to be stupid with 
statistics" book known as The Bell Curve came out, I suggested that the 
author be subjected to an Aboriginal IQ test:  strand him in the outback 
and we'll see just how smart he is!
