I'm back

I've been in Papua New Guinea for a week and a day. The last night we spent in Port Moresby at a swanky hotel near the airport (think rolls of razor wire around the inside of the walls, and poolside orange juice). We also caught a PMV (public motor vehicle, small bus) into town to the Baroka markets, then into the city centre. We took some locals with us so we were less likely to be hassled and went in the morning (ditto - don't go into town after 4pm). So, I've now done something very few westerners have done - caught a PMV. We were the only white people I saw outside the hotel and airport. I will write more (eg why I was in PNG) after I finish my official report...andf put up piccies

If I can't find it, how can you?

I got a comment from an old blog entry the other day...well, September some time. I had been talking about tapas at a restaurant I went to & how I had trouble figuring out the ordering/paying/seating system, but the food rocked (Rhino Bar : try it you'll like it). In spite of the entry now being archived, I got a comment from the Rhino staff explaining how to do said functions. Now, it being a whole month and a 1/2 ago, I couldn't remember what I'd actually written so I looked it up.

I assumed they'd googled it, but did not find anything. I had to do a search from inside my blog page to find the entry.

Obviously I suck at googling.

I wish I was a punk rocker with flowers in my hair

I also wish I didn't have the first line of this song going over and over in my head. Or at least that I knew more than the first line of the song to sing.

Whats your musical meme today?
