why wy?

We passed the sleepy town of Robe, on the coast of South Australia. Robe is famous for being the landing spot of Chinese immigrants during the Gold Rush. At that time, Victoria charged a 20 pound toll on entry, (like airport tax) which was the same the immigrants paid to sail here anyway. So the Chinese landed in South Australia and walked the 400km or more to the gold fields to save money.

Cue the chorus: Wah lau, the Chinese are really kiam siap (stingy).

Let them inspire me in my quest to save money.

There is a trend here... but unfortunately it will have to wait because Nick has decided to turn veggie. Not for any pangs of conscience but because he wants to lose weight.
