Travelling.

While mooching around the at airport in Singapore, we found a Dunkin' Donuts where I insisted that Catherine sample the delight of nations.
As we stood there with the last of our pennies, taking a painstakingly long time deciding which doughnut to sample an Australian woman approached us and gave us enough money to buy half a dozen doughnuts, just because she was kind.

This turned out to be the first encounter of many with Australians, the kindest people in the world.

Upon arrival into Australia I was nervous. You see, before this trip I'd had a strange addiction to watching the television program "Nothing to Declare".
In this program the audience is treated to such delights as people getting pulled over at customs for having pressed flowers in their luggage, and getting rectally searched for drugs. (It's not quite as bad as that, but almost.)

Picture the scene.
I get my passport stamped and am walking past the customs desk as I hear the dreaded words, "Do you ladies have anything to declare?"
My innocent palms start to become clammy with fear as irrational thoughts of being strip searched in the middle of the airport flit through my mind and I freeze.
Only to hear Catherine reply, "No, nothing to declare, oh apart from Jessy!"
Oh. The. Fear.
After a emotionless look from the customs man [who was a heavily accented indian]at the previous comment he asked us to put our bags on the x-ray machine.
Catherine went first and the conversation commenced.

Man: "Excuse me, do you have a *mumblemumble* friend in your bag?"
Cat: "A what..?"
Man: "A vaitber friend"
Cat: "Oh, erm, you mean a vibrating friend..?! Yes, do you want to se..."
Man: "(whilst trying to stifle his laugher)No, no, How do you call it in English...a waiters friend, a ..."
Cat: "(turning several shades of red)oh. you mean a bottle opener? Yes.

...

...
Do you need to see my vibrator as well?"

At this my hysterical laughter had reached new levels and the man shook his head, laughed and told us to enjoy our stay in Australia.

Oh life never gets boring with Catherine!
