Well this was unexpected

So here is a photo of a frisbee I saw for sale in one of those shops full of cheap stuff from China that nobody ever really needs (like the Reject Shop in Australia).  Ordinarily, that's no big deal.  Except that this particular frisbee, of which you can buy two for less than US$1.50, has a logo on it that will be familiar to any Australian, and that I saw it at a shop in Bogota, Colombia.  Interesting indeed.

Time for an update

Okay, well since someone has specifically requested an update (you could also just email me and ask for one, you'd probably have more luck), I shall reward my loyal (but limited) fan base and provide that which is requested.

So, some highlights between September 1 and now:

1) At the start of September I missed 2 weeks of work due to a nasty little illness that I picked up in my South American travels. During this time when all I could really do was sit in bed and read, I was finally introduced to the world of the Harry Potter books. I have read the first 3, and shall enjoy reading the rest.
2) My trip to California was wonderful. I just realised that I have not introduced the wonderful Silvia on this blog yet. Well, now I shall. Silvia is my lovely Colombian girlfriend (we've been going out for a good number of months now) and quite simply the greatest girl ever. She joined me on my trip to California where I also caught up with my mother and stepfather, who were holidaying there at the time. To summarise a few learnings from the trip, Disneyland is amazing and has a much more magical atmosphere than Knott's Berry Farm, but the later has some cool rollercoasters. San Francisco is a much better city than Los Angeles. The exercise yard at the former Alcatraz prison is really windy. LAX airport sucks. This poster kicks ass.

3) I am moving house tomorrow, where my new roommate will be much more quiet and cleaner than my current roommates.
4) I've decided to return to Australia in February or March next year, and the current plan is to go to Melbourne and make a life there for a while.
5) I haven't shaved in 4 weeks.
Oh, and for the first time ever in all my travels, my luggage and I finally ended up in different places after I got off a plane. When I returned to Bogota from Los Angeles (via Houston), my luggage decided to stay in Houston for an extra couple of days. In its defence, I was only in Houston for the exact amount of time that it took me to run between two gates in the same airport terminal (about 4 minutes), since my flight into Houston landed just 20 minutes before my flight out of Houston took off. So I didn't get the chance to browse the duty free shops.

So there is an update. Time to get back to work.
Here's a pic of Silvia and I at Disneyland :)
