People were setting up stuff in the mall this morning. This is a little mini farm yard.
Rundle mall early afternoon.
I went to the immigration office to have my visa transfered to my new passport.
I had a couple of drinks with mates. We had a great time.
This doesn't fit, but I can't leave Adelaide without one. It's a "HEAPS GOOD" T-shirt. They only come in XL so I will definitely have to hit the exercise machines when I get back in NL...
My early morning enemy: The parking meter.
And he scores!
They were using a crane to put together a crane.

One of my favourite buskers.
Escalators at Myer.
Nicole bought a new suitcase today. This must be heaven for her ;-)
It was before eight o'clock in the morning and a line-up was growing in Rundle mall. They must've been giving clothes away for free or something.
Awesome lunch.
I took a closer look at the fountain and liked what I saw. So I photographed it. That's what happens with things I like to see.
On our way home we drove behind the devil. People with good eyes may pay extra attention to the detail that is a sticker on the back window...
Speaking of the devil... Geert Wilders made it on Australian World News tonight.
In the morning I went to the Dutch consulate to apply for passport-renewal. Before me there was a very old Dutch couple. They had been married for 50 years I heard the girl say. My new passport should arrive in 2-3 weeks.
For lunch I had a slice of pizza. Fresh out of the oven.
These are the piggies in Rundle mall.
After work we went to a Thai place that was recommended by a colleague of Nicole. It was pretty good.
This is where I get my beetroot+pineapple juice. They also sell flowers and it's the biggest collection of REAL flowers that are for sale that I have ever seen in this country. It smelled nice too.
So I bought my juice and a garlic bread (little, thick and round piece) and I sat down.
I noticed there was a young guy playing the guitar and opposite him was a bum, listening.
But as it was lunch time it was very busy and making photos was difficult with all those people.
So I just took lots of photos.
It ended up being a nice collection of photos so I decided to keep almost all of them.
This was my view in front of me to the left.
And my view in front of me to the right.
To my very left...
When I finished my lunch I got up and listened a bit closer. He was pretty good. The songs reminded me of Johnny Cash and so did he. I dropped him a coin and told him I liked the songs. He thanked me and then it was back to the office for me. I'd rather stayed.
On our way to work we drove behind this piece of shit for a while. At first I thought that maybe we were a few cars behind a steam-locomotive because of the smoke it vomited in to the air constantly. But no, it was a truck from Sita "Environmental Services". I think they deserve some of my email time for this...
My regular sandwich place was closed for unknown reasons today. I put my plan B in to action. I went to Cibo next door.
After work I walked to PJ's through Rundle mall where I passed the mall's balls.
Rundle mall.
We had our last dinner at PJ's for now. The bartender George who totally makes the place is leaving. Aside from that the main chef can't work due to a broken foot and the other chef quit unexpectedly. The chef working today started two days ago. 
Opposite PJ's they set up a big fair. It's the Adelaide Fringe festival.
Afterwards we had gelato with a view.
In the evening I talked with my mom and dad a bit.
On our way to work, we passed these two ladies. One of them was wearing nice evening wear, at 7:55 in the morning. You can't see it very well, but the photo is nice nevertheless.
This is what I drink during lunch: Nippy's. South Australian (in Adelaide, actually) produced orange juice made from (I believe) Australian oranges. Read the funny story about how they started. The suburb of Kilburn is next door of us. This is THE best orange juice in the world. The only fresher juice is home made. And yeah, it's addictive.
The Christmas tree is now finished and Santa has left lots of pressies for me. Unfortunately I'm only allowed to look at them...
On the way back to work I donated a little bit of money to a charity to fight poverty. They gave me a sticker.
In the afternoon I found these cookies in the kitchen. I think my boss' wife has been baking again with the kids. Apparently in Australia, 'cookies' do not exist. They are called 'biscuits'. 'Cooky' is American. In Dutch however we have both and they actually refer to different baked products. The 'biscuits' in Dutch are very plain, always crisp, and very milky. Dutch 'cookies' however are the more flavoursome type. They can also contain things like chocolate chips or raisins etc.
After work we went to Henley Beach square for dinner. The best Thai restaurant in town is here I think. If I still had my restaurant critique site, this is how I'd rate it (scale 1-10 where 10 is best):
Afterwards we walked up the jetty a bit.
I love the beach. It's such a cool place. It's the end of the world, land turns in to water and there is beautiful fresh wind.
The jetty.
