BIG FOOT?



After Adelaide, I flew to Kuala Lumpur, then took a 6 hour train ride through the rich green and lush forests of Malaysia to Singapore. As it turns out, there have been several Yeti sightings in this region. I was on the look out from my speedy train and foggy window. It's very humid here, the vegetation is thick, and perhaps if you look closely, there could be solid evidence, or at least digital soft evidence of the Big foot. I believe it.

adelaide wrap-up




as the sky over adelaide seemed to turn into a giant super 8 film reel, the shoot the fringe big premiere of all 41 super 8 films was tuesday night March 14 at fowler's live. The place was packed and many of the films were stellar! and 39 of them had original soundtrax. I ran into a man who is promoting a new australian flag, I threw a lot of arrows with my friend chris, and met lots of amazing and talented people in Adelaide. I will miss my living room = the grace, and my sleeping quarters upstairs. I still never got used to walking on the left hand side of the sidewalk, the coffee in adelaide rocks, there are sharks in the water but that just adds to the adventure, i should invest in coopers, my friend will sheridan played drums and we played four songs saturday night at the grace, he rocked! i love a pony glass but it's dangerous and very fragile, i hope to come back next year...

sites around town

Most locals say that Adelaide is the classic small town, a little sleepy and easy-going. This time of year when the Festival and Fringe are going it is quite bustling and energetic and exciting. A few things (apart from the driving on the wrong side of the road) stand out = like almost every car has a trailer hitch...I don't know what this means, but it does seem like a lot of folks here are quite nomadic or maybe they enjoy towing a bbq. Another confusing thing is that all streets change name at king william street, because "you can't cross the king". In the southern hemisphere, the sun travels from right to left across the sky.and then my fav is the fact that someone had already bought the rights to the name burger king in australia, and so the chain is called hungry jacks.
