No Squat Sign - Some of us have postulated that the mess made on toilets that have been invaded by our friends from India were only possible if the culprit was standing on the seat. Well ladies and gentlemen, I present to you evidence that this IS ACTUALLY THE CASE. At the Fenix Inn in Melaka, there was a sticker on the toilet seat CLEARLY INDICATING that the patron should NOT stand on it like a squat toilet. Case closed......
Accurate News Reporting - I have been known to make fun of the Herald Sun. I am forced to apologise to their staff. In yesterday's newspaper, it clearly stated that Lewis Hamilton had attain pole position for the French Grand Prix, and that Fernando Alonso was somewhere other than that 10th that he actually started on. Very interesting, perhaps I was watching a different qualification session.
Nice Locals - We were touched when a couple of delightful muslim ladies pulled up in front of us, not to detonate an explosive device, but to offer the sweating white people a lift to the bus stop. Allāhu Akbar!
Squat Toilet #2 - For those who have not yet had the opportunity to avail of the local facilities, this is a RIPPING GUIDE: http://www.banterist.com/archivefiles/000348.html
Ok. Still with me? We've been diving for the last few days. Kath has finished her Advanced Open Water. Congratulations!
We're diving with my old friends at Absolute Scuba (http://www.abscuba.com/) - Kipp will be pleased to know that Daniel and Ahmad still remember his bald ass.
So... the moment you've all be waiting for - PICTURES!!! I apologise for the quality of some of these - I post processed the RAW images with Acdsee which ... is a bit crap at it, next time will be Photoshop all the way.
This is like a puffer fish thingy, in a purple coral bowl.
A lionfish - also in a purple coral bowl. Popular hangouts these are.
A nudibranch. Let me tell you this photography business under the water is FRICKING HARD.
Just a close up of some coral....
Another spiny fish puffer thing. Kath can classify the animals later, as she is more into it than I am.
A nudibranch. Kat thought that flicking this poor guy while pointing him out would be funny. Shame!
Umm.. I dunno what this is, but it looks cool!!!
Coral. I think.
More coral.
This guy was just chillin, he let me get SO close. Unfortunately I was still having some technical difficulties with the *@#$U(@)$ equipment, so this is the best I could do.....
Other cool things we have seen: blue/yellow spotted rays, a moray eel, a fleet of cuttlefish, little shrimps, a giant lobster, some weird evil killer prawn thing....
Tomorrow == Enriched Air Course. Fear it. The rest of the pictures are here:
