All of my beliefs have just been shattered. Okay, not all of them...but get this. Toilets do NOT flush in the opposite direction. Well some do, and some don't. If you can find a toilet down here that flushes the way they do back home (which let me tell you is not easy), it just depends on which way the water comes out...that's what makes the spinning. So...the moral is that giant natural whirlpools and hurricanes and stuff like that may spin in the opposite direction, but toilets are just controlled by the way they built them. Just in case you were wondering.

Hi Ry-Jesse sits outside at the library alot, too. Maybe it is because the weather is nice, but the fact that their internet STILL isn't hooked up could be part of it. He uses the wireless at the library. Customer Service is a few years behind in Australia?
