I'm enjoying the library a lot - especially the collection of DVDs - catching up on years of TV! I just watched season one of Downton Abbey. Before that I watched two seasons of The Killing (in Danish) and one season of 30Rock. I'm also reading a lot of books - just finished Animal People by Charlotte Wood, Stolen Prey by Sandford, and I'm in the middle of Tenth of Dec by Saunders.
I'm also enjoying the local movie theatres - yesterday I saw Rust and Bone (excellent), Silence in the House of God (good, but could be seen on DVD instead) and last week I saw Laurence, Anyways.
We drove up North and enjoyed the scenery and saw stromatolites and emus in the wild. We stayed on a sheep station, which was a great place to stay. We swam in the ocean which was delightfully warm. They ran out of regular rental cars and gave us an audi - it was pretty nice - even though it did not have an easy way to play an ipod. I posted photos on flickr.
The two things that are the most culture shock for me are the prices - WA is SO expensive, an ordinary breakfast for three was $65. And the other thing is just the luxury all around - the free clean beautiful buses in downtown Perth, the museums, the galleries, the ease of finding bathrooms and water and places to sit down.
In a week we are off to Sydney for a week.
