ladies and gentleman, without further ado... i give you GALAXY GIRL!! the mazda 3 sp 23 we bought after a mere 24 hours in town! jetlag shmetlag. we knew what we wanted. and when we found out that we could only get financing through the end of our visas, ie, june 2014, we realized we literally could not afford to wait. so she's ours. well, she'll be ours in two years.
galaxy girl, or "gg" for short
so, it turns out taking pictures of the car is significantly easier than driving it. holy mind-melter, batman! things go really wonky when you're on the right side of the car. the left side of the street is bad enough - i can't tell you how often my mind just goes blank when i come to an intersection - but the inside is the real challenge. we've got the cleanest windshields in town because every time we try to put our blinkers on, we throw on the wipers. (this happens a lot because the aussies, as it turns out, take indicating very seriously). and depth perception? forget it. it takes 20 minutes to park this thing on a curb (or "kerb" as the aussies put it). and i haven't even tried to parallel park yet.

i never thought i'd say this, but we're kind of into the whole apartment building thing... i hear canberra is a lousy market (expensive and kind of sh*tty - yay!) so we're thinking we might go for something new and clean and most likely totally void of charm... hey, we did "charm" in paris. it came with mold. it might be time to try something else.
