Bears. Beets. Battlestar Galactica.

Hello loved ones! I am in rainy Sydney at the moment, but am leaving for Bangkok in a matter of hours. After I left the coast, I came down to the city and have been enjoying myself as much as is possible for a traveler with no car in the pouring rain. I was put in a room with these 3 funny British guys and we ended up watching a ton of the British version of the Office, so that, coupled with the addiction Laura and Constance and I had in NZ, officially makes me an Office fan. Watch it!

So in Sydney since I've been back, I saw the Dalai Lama speak (in the pouring rain... I stood for 4 hours until I could no longer feel my fingertips or toes), went to a bunch of films at the Film Festival (including one about Kurt Cobain with a ton of footage of Seattle... so funny to have been watching that in Sydney!), walked through the art gallery, saw a piano performance at the Conservatorium of Music, and saw the hugest pelican (is that a pelican?) on the face of the earth. I was going to have someone take a picture of me next to it, but decided against it, as it could probably eat my arms for lunch. So things have been good, but I'm excited to get out of the rain and off into the Thai heat!
