In Australia, there are no pennies. Prices are still listed to the cent, and rounding is done when all your products are added at the register. This leads to situations like today: A can of one beverage for 98c or a can of a different one for $1.02. Buy one can, and both cost the same - both 98 and 102 are rounded to 100. Buy two, and there’s a 10c difference in price, $1.95 vs $2.05.
Back at the place I call home, we’ve had continuous problems with dial-in connectivity and local network connectivity reliably dropping out. Now it seems that the phone line isn’t working. Something about Telstra and being unhappy. Ryan’ll take care of it sometime.
Climbing has been good, started climbing with a chick from Columbia (Tania) who is a doctor - she and her guy both. He doesn’t really climb, it seems, but she climbs at just about the same level as me, when she’s having a good day. Which is nice, I’ve missed climbing with people at my level. Her guy, Elliot, is a Brit, and she learned English in England, so it’s a great Spanish-British accent.
Oh, and Michelle has a new roommate, a girl from Korea over to learn English, or get better at English. She was a bit picky when looking at the place, but that seems to have worked out, and seems friendly enough.
And I’m on the countdown of needing to make decisions about my short-term future. IE, what will happen in the next 6 months. More news as it develops.
