I set off for a fabric shop today. None of their buyers is red headed. The locals seem to prefer slinky fabrics. The shop had three floors of cloth and the messiest collection of haberdashery. Nothing tempted me whereas I could easily have bought a length in most of the tiny shops we visited in Port Louis, Mauritius. There the fabrics are displayed unrolled which is much more appealing.
Then I went to the Museum with about a hundred squeezing kids. I had not realised how big hyenas are. You never see film of a person standing beside a hyena. They are almost as tall as a lion.
Stuffed but cute
Then I went to the Malay part of town which has painted itself a riot of colour. (I suspect that the paint is donated to attract tourists.)
We dined with a group from ANU.
