hooray, another update!

there is public wifi around perth, i'll have a look around for the url for you. dudes have even shot signal from rottnest back to the mainland

your opera friend may have been interesting, but probably already had friends built in :P

and yes, you should stay over when offered. generally, if someone offers you a place, it means they're either used to it so it's no bother, or deem you worth the bother, either way it would probably be an enjoyable and beneficial experience for all involved

thank you for writing, i love your stories :)
