Thursday is a "Shopping Day" for Australians, all the shops will prolong their opening hours to maybe 9pm. The holiday mood started to come out from people on this day, as you can see ladies and young guys dressed smartly at night attending parties.
In order to fit into the custom, I bought some wine... some means a pack, and a pack equals 4 litres. hohoo~ A normal bottle of red wine is about 725ml, which means 4 litres is equals to 5 bottles, but the price is similar to a bottle of red wine. Strange!!!
Sometimes they have a weird logic in calculation, say one noddle costs $1 and if you buy a large pack (5 noddles), it will cost you $6. Then what is point of buying the large pack if it is less expensive to buy them individually.
Finally we had internet connection after a week, but we have to occupy the phone line first before we can use the internet... how weird. So now, we are dialling our landlord for every 3 hours (coz after 3 hours, the fee will be higher), in order get everyone connected. Ha!
