Journal Entry:
Spent a while driving around town exploring, then a lot longer driving around looking for a parking place. All the parking lots here have two meter high roofs - my car is between 2.1 and 2.2 meters tall - learned from experience. Spent most of the day in an internet cafe getting caught up with my journal - I was nearly two weeks behind. Met up with my friend Jason (we traveled together in the UK and Ireland in late 1997). Had diner and several beers in his local pub then stayed up late discussing aboriginal politics (you can imagine how many "several" must be since I no nothing about aboriginal politics...)
