Update from Perth

I'm blogging from the Perth airport - Perth is a stunning city, sort of like San Diego. Adelaide was stunning as well. The people were wonderful, the food terrific. I'll have pictures in a bit, but I get back home in Canberra late tonight, and then we fly to Brisbane first thing tomorrow morning.

One interesting highlight: another Fulbrighter, a robotics specialist, has a lab here at the University of Western Australia. One of their teaching tools is a remote-control robot arm, which you can manipulate using a web client. That means that Adam (I mean, um, me) can control it from our laptop. It's really cool. Nothing to do with politics, but, still, really cool.
