saturday

walked round St. George - its a wee little town with three churches, three pubs, a cricket ground and a war memorial.
It also has a municipal swimming pool - the Koreans and I headed there in the afternoon to splash around. Seems I can still swim - I suppose its like falling off a bicycle. That evening again to the pub - just me and the girl this time. I ordered mixed grill for AUD20, which was massive - I struggled to get it all down, eventually giving up and leaving a few of the vegetables behind. Then to one of the other pubs which as we sat there became more lively - there was a hen night or something going on I think (unless this bunch of girls regularly goes to the pub with penis-straws to suck their drinks through). Locals in St. George really friendly, and pretty interested in chatting about where I am from and what I am doing here etc. We try some pre-packaged shots (paid for by another dude sitting at the bar who we'd been talking to) then I return to my beer and Korean girl switches to tequila shots. Sleep in motel this time.
