Above is what Western Australia's animals used to look like. Below is what they look like today. We are big fans of the modern version, and enjoyed hanging out in their gaggle of 25.
However, we did not go to Perth for the birds. We went to stock up on feeling like home. And, mostly, we went for the wine. The tasting, the touring, and the bringing some home.
Drinking it seaside was nice too, though it is "winter" now. That means its like rainy summer weather in Canada.
This is Fremantle, which is supposed to be the best part of Perth. Barry and I figured perhaps it was better in the summer. Or perhaps we missed something. Eventually we forgot about it and went back to wine tasting.
I know, my photography. Its artistic nature takes your breath away. I call this one "arry". Moving, no?
Finally, here is the Aussie coat of arms, which allegedly features 2 animals which can't move backwards. This doesn't seem to be a key animal skill, if you ask me, whereas that pouch is handy! I can't diss it, as the Canadian coat of arms features 2 bedazzled lions and a unicorn, none of which are native to the country, to my knowledge.

Little India is a great place to live for many reasons. On Sunday, the migrant Indian labourers get their weekly day off, so Little India gets quite crowded. This seems ok with the Indians, who are evidently quite close. 
They participate in numerous activities such as talking to their loved ones at home, or buying smoked fruit:
They gather in lovely neighbourhood parks such as these, where their heat tolerance is evidently quite high. While in normal circumstances a pure-male crowd this large might be alarming, here it is quite safe.
While Laura in Singapore avoids political commentary, her trip to West 
3) Religion: 86% 
4) Democracy: Yes, but only since 1997.
So, while this is Indonesia,
so is this,
and this.
And many of Indonesia's 17508 islands look a lot like this.
You are likely to face new biological threats and vermin. How many Canadians know how to avoid boot mold, and the tiny bugs that eat the mold? Oh the tropical household ecosystem!
Sometimes, you're just going to get stared at.
An advantage is that your appreciation of your home cuisine grows. But this can lead to disappointment when things are just sometimes done wrong. This is my butterscotch parfait?
Similarly, we waited 2 years for Quiznos to come to Singapore, and when we finally went there, it was closed. Emotional roller coaster.
Doing your taxes while you're out of the country? Nightmare. The Canadian Revenue Agency missed me so much that they kept writing me letters.
Similarly, imagine the paperwork and time involved in immigrating here!
Often, we just don't understand the jokes, the media, and especially the ads. Has this woman's "family heater" melted off her bosom?
Singapore, not known for its ancient 
Shown below are stairs to the past, found in the forest.
And finally, a mysterious site I found on my way to work and wondered what it could be.
It turns out it is an unkempt old Muslim graveyard, a couple of acres in size.
So, how old is this place? It dates back to 1819, making it just about the oldest thing you'll see here. As shown below, vegetation can accelerate decay, see how quickly this child's wagon became a tree. Don't leave your toys in the cemetery, kids.
