Hard to say — *I* am the outgoing friendly type that will strike up conversations with people that look like they are from out of town. Last month Mike and & went to Jersey Boys. I dropped Mike off and was leaving the parking deck, I heard some people asking the garage attendant how to get to the theater and I said “follow me,” and talked with them on the way. I’m also the one that will always grab a camera if I see someone from a group taking pictures “hey I’ll take the shot so you can all be in the picture.”

I told Nick the other night to keep an eye on Channel 7 for the Today Show. Yes, our Today Show, live from New York at about midnight-1 a.m. Aussie time. When they get to the weather and Al Roker says “Here’s what’s going on in your neck of the woods,” they flash to a map of Australia with the temps on it.

And if you find anything with Roy and H.G. on it, watch it. They’re the biggest TV comedians in Australia. Some of there stuff is pretty funny, but some of it is strictly Aussie humor that doesn’t translate well.

So no one has mentioned that “Say Hi and I’ll give you ten bucks” sign we taped to your back?

Have you watched any local TV? The Wiggles?
Any British import TV - Doctor Who, maybe?
Or are you sleeping 16 hours a night?

Actually, when we were in Reykjavik, queued up at the McDonalds in the Mall [we had 25 minutes to eat before the bus tour] an Icelander who spent some time in the US overheard us talking and chatted us up.

p.s. BBC says there is flooding in New South Wales. Keeping your feet dry?
