Questions and queries that concern the common traveller.<br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;">1. Why is it that as soon as the seatbelt light on the airplane is switched off after landing, everyone flings their seatbelts off</span> and launches themselves out of their seats? They then stand in the aisle for at least 10 minutes before the doors are opened. I'm really thinking that there must be some sort of competition 'Let's see which psychotic can get in the aisle the quickest'. These lunatics just need to calm down.<br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;">2. Why do people insist on crowding around the baggage carousel like retarded seagulls?</span> Sure, they might get their luggage before anyone else but if their bags aren't the first out (which 99% of the time they're not) they block the other 400 people from getting their bags. Is it really that difficult to stand back and then approach the carousel when your bags appear? Fuck.<br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;">3. Why, when in certain countries, do people feel the absolute need to bargain prices down?</span> It happened while I was in China (and also when I've been to Bali and Fiji in the past), is it really necessary? Sure, sometimes you might find something really overpriced and in that instance bargaining is fine. I think it's ridiculous when people bargain prices down when they're probably saving $1.50. That $1.50 to us isn't any extreme amount of money but to the person who owns the market stall the money they just got ripped off is probably a lot to them.<br /><br /><b> If anyone has answers to these questions, please let me know x</b>Alex.http://www.blogger.com/profile/13673110400285893875noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5309982278242424249.post-4482461166773092112010-07-01T23:00:00.003+10:002010-07-01T23:04:55.980+10:00Farewell........... for just over a week.Hello lovelies!<div><br /></div><div>Just thought I'd inform you all that I'm heading off to China tomorrow.

Exactly 7 days after that statement, there'd been a leadership spill in the Labor Party and the next morning, Julia Gillard was Prime Minister.<div><br /><div>Personally, I want to see some sort of celebrity football match for charity being organised.

His views were prejudice and he appealed to the highest form of snobbery and ignorance installed in today’s society. Howard is one of the people that refuse to accept the fact that times are changing and shock horror, we don't live in a world where Jane Austen novels shape our lives.</span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:20.0pt;mso-pagination:none;mso-layout-grid-align: none;text-autospace:none">In addition to this, we are talking about Julia Gillard, the Prime Minister that doesn’t believe in a ‘big Australia’. If she really is ‘influencing’ people in their choice to not get married and have children, as Ardnt claims, then it sounds Gillard could be on to something here.<br /></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:20.0pt;mso-pagination:none;mso-layout-grid-align: none;text-autospace:none"><img src="http://i47.tinypic.com/fcuzj6.jpg" /><br /></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:20.0pt;mso-pagination:none;mso-layout-grid-align: none;text-autospace:none"><span lang="EN-US" style=""><o:p><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">It’s no secret that I really admire and have a lot of respect for Julia Gillard. I may or may not choose to get married and have children one day, but if I were to put this down to being influenced by Gillard’s situation, in no way would I believe this to be a ‘bad influence’. Bettina Arndt seems to be suggesting in a very non subtle way TIM MATHIESON, YOU MUST MARRY JULIA GILLARD AT THIS INSTANT BECAUSE IF YOU DON’T, THEN AUSTRALIA IS DOOMED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold; "></span></span></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:20.0pt;mso-pagination:none;mso-layout-grid-align: none;text-autospace:none"><span lang="EN-US" style=""><o:p><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold; ">Where do you stand?
