The three most expensive parking districts in Asia Pacific are (Daily / Monthly, in U.S. dollars):
• Sydney, Australia : USD54.47 per day / USD774.76 per month
• Hong Kong, China : USD28.16 per day / USD742.40 per month
• Perth, Australia : USD15.03 per day / USD610.42 per month
But jesus ball fuck sydney is expensive.
i'm confused about perth's. Why is it more expensive for a month than it would be for 30 individual days?
In Perth alot of options for a month of parking get you a private parking bay that is guaranteed to be available 24/7, places that you pay a per day rate will be first come first served. People are willing to pay more to get a guaranteed spot.
In general the reason parking is so expensive in Perth is that the city is constrained by the river to the south and east, King's Park and the freeway to the west and the railway line to the north. As there isn't any room to expand outward they have to expand upward instead which is an expensive proposition.
Of course none of this is helped by the fact that government services and office space in Perth is highly centralised in the CBD rather than evenly distrubuted across the metropolitan area.

if you eat in the revolving restaurant you get your tower ticket refunded
entrees are like $35 but considering you're paying $21 for the glass floor (or $27 to get to the skypod) it's a pretty good deal
we had planned on doing that but one of the secretaries is having a romantic anniversary lunch up there on saturday and we decided not to ruin it with 15 year olds yelling HI MRS. <NAME> across the restaurant.
today on the way home there was this loud persian or italian type guy bragging on the phone about his awesome 54th floor condo with a view of the cn tower and how he was going to have a girl over tomorrow.
halfway through the phone call he started motioning doing her doggy style and pointing to an imaginary cn tower going ''look honey, tower. see?''

Hello there fellow Westralian.
Get your butt into the AusPAX thread and put your name down for DrunkPAX. Most of the people are really cool, there's only like one dickhead. And you can avoid the dickhead by staying away from me!
Like the one I have is this sort of three tiered plug with indents between the tiers. Which is great whilst fucking, but doesn't have the flaring out and back in of the traditional plugs, which is great for keeping them in place. Which is great, especially for public outings.
Riding public transportation in Russia was always an adventure. Especially because fierce Russian babushkas often have equally fierce Russian body odor.
What do other cities do when there is an ill passenger on the train? Here the train just waits at the station until an ambulance arrives, which can take up to half an hour and backs up every other train on the line.

I use public transportation
I don't mind I read till I reach me destination
sometimes a newspaper
sometimes a book
the amount of money I save
this shit if off the hook
I never saw a dog on public transportation in Russia, but it wouldn't shock me. The swinging doors in the metro are really, really heavy, so I'm impressed that they don't get their little faces smashed.

I got to the point in college that I could sleep the 2.5 hours to school with only a brief, ten minute consciousness interval when I had to transfer.
I could also sleep the 3ish hours from school to work and then the 1.5 from work to home. I think I missed a stop one time in the 2+ years that I did that.
There was a guy on the bus in a wheelchair last night. He had shit his pants, and the smell was so bad that the driver had his jumper pulled up over his face to try and block it. Thankfully I was only taking a 5 minute journey, it was almost unbearable.
I was on a bus from Picton to Christchurch once (about 6 hours) and this kid vomited all over the place about 2 hours into it. Apparently he was way hung over and the road isn't friendly for that kind of thing. The driver was a total dick to him about it.
The bus had no windows.
I have never hated any stranger so much in my life.
not public transit related but still related to the above:
I was sitting in the mall reading a book and waiting for my wife to finish at the hair cutting place. Some teens sat down on the bench behind me and sort of nattered at each other as teens do. One of them was sort of doing a slow drift to the left and not taking part in the conversation at all.
He puked about five times and none of his friends even batted an eye.
Then they all got up and wandered away. It was extremely surreal and disgusting.

How the hell did they learn that, I mean,, yeah I know a dog could learnt o get on to a train, but how did they learn that they go to the desired location? they just randomly hopped on one day and were like "oh hey"

Yeah, DC metro does that. I've been late to work because of that before.
When I was living in DC for the first time a few years back I was heading to a concert or something and this pre-op got on the metro and sat on a seat opposite side of mine. I have no issues with trannies so I wasn't really paying attention to s/him. A couple of girls started talking to s/him so I was overhearing their conversation, they talked about when s/he was going to get the surgery done and I also found out s/he went by T, just the letter T like Mr. T but without the Mr. Anyway, they start talking about what s/he was doing at Navy Yard and s/he's all like, "Oh, I just went to buy this." and casually pulls out a DVD with a picture of a guy with his donger hanging out on the cover. Hope you're still keeping it classy T.
A few months ago it was raining pretty hard, I got home from work and didn't take my shoes off for some reason. I start heading down to the basement and I fall down the stairs since the soles of my shoes had become hella slick due to the rain. I ended up banging up my arm pretty badly and got a few nasty cuts along my forearm.
A few days later I'm riding the train to work and it's pretty damned packed so I had to stand by a pole, said pole bangs against my forearm throughout the ride but it only stings a little bit so I pay it no mind. I reach my transfer station, get on the train, and sit down. I notice this girl keeps staring at me, I'm wearing a brand new dress shirt I had picked up from the tailor the day before so I'm thinking I look pretty snazzy, so of course I'm a bit flattered. I get to the Pentagon and as I'm getting my stuff checked the security guard asks me if I've noticed my forearm; I look and see this large red splotch from where my wound had opened up. Girl probably wasn't giving me :winky: eyes, she probably thought I was going to give her the HIV since all minorities in DC carry it. Or maybe she was giving me :winky: eyes and was one of those Twilight vampire gals. And because I know you all want to know this... I was able to save my new dress shirt and we lived happily ever after.
the orca card is convenient, but they still have issues with the card readers fairly often
like last month I took a bus up to Northgate to do some quick shopping in the afternoon and when I caught the bus back an hour and a half later it didn't include the transfer so I got charged full fare again
when I checked the transactions online it turned out the first scan which was around 2 pm got timestamped as 7 am
I've called customer service 3 times about it over the last 3 weeks and first was told it would just be refunded back to my orca card
then when it didn't show I was told they'd have to send a ride ticket to me instead
got the email a week ago that the ticket was being mailed to me, should take a day for it to reach me so I figure a couple of days to process and mail it out perhaps
still waiting
yeah, I think discontinuing paper transfers is premature
and if they're sending tickets out when your card is mischarged, how am I supposed to transfer with the ticket?
when I lived in seattle I had to take the 358 at midnight every night from my ghetto apartment on northgate down to the 76 station across the street from the space needle to work the graveyard shift.
for those of you that are familiar with it the 358 gets pretty sketchy after about 9pm.
My only customers were crackheads, hookers, the homeless or some combination of the three. though its kind of a joke to call them customers since none of them ever actually bought anything.
I learned a lot about life in the month and a half I worked there.
let's see within i think a two block radius of my apt there was
two porn shops
a pawn shop
a check cashing store
a shitty tatoo shop
and probably like three auto shops

if there's a check cashing store within walking distance of your house, you have a roughly 98.3% chance of living in the ghetto
or if you want a bag of weed all you have to do is go downstairs and sit on the front steps to your apartment and wait for the kid with the duffel bag.

Need some stuff designed or printed? I can help with that.
never mind that it's people who don't give a shit about the driving laws in the first place that are the problem
so close to detroit ewwwwwwwww
my family all live in KW so I'm there about every second month or so. Caulk Bite lives there full time, I think.
I am actually going to the CN Tower on Saturday for the first time ever.
the glass floor is neat, i always jump on it when i go there
i'm going with a gaggle of high school students who i am shepherding/babysitting for the weekend.
i don't know that exposing them to pony is a good idea necessarily
if you eat in the revolving restaurant you get your tower ticket refunded
entrees are like $35 but considering you're paying $21 for the glass floor (or $27 to get to the skypod) it's a pretty good deal
living there would be awesome

Although, I do have this orca card now. It's pretty nifty.

it'll be great once they get their shit together
and if they're sending tickets out when your card is mischarged, how am I supposed to transfer with the ticket?
