Bienvenido, Thailand
We're in Thailand! We landed around 3:30 local time, and arrived at the hostel just three hours and four dark alleys later. So far our Thai experience has been limited to the airport (which has a crazy steel exoskeleton), the bus ride (which was almost as quick as our crossing of Australia by solarcar), and the FOOD!!! of which there is a lot. And it is cheap. It has already received the highest honour we have to offer, math team approval*.
*This may or may not be an inside joke... I'm not sure if we've mentioned it on the blog, but Marvin! is the new solarcar math team. When he approves something, you know it must be awesome to a high degree of accuracy.
Anyway, there is one question I know you must be asking.
What happened to Sydney??!
Sydney was awesome. Two main things happened in Sydney.
1) OPERA HOUSE!!!
Indisputable evidence that we were in Sydney
2) CSIRO
Our last observer on the race was a guy called Colin who works for CSIRO, which is this ridiculous Australian entity that is effectively a government owned science think-tank. Apparently they invented Wi-Fi. Their building had gold in the windows. They have a measuring machine that is accurate to 0.1 micrometers. It's made out of granite. If more governments had these we'd be building solar spaceships instead of solar cars.
Unfortunately all the stuff inside CSIRO was top secret so I don't have any photos. Imagine something s0 futuristic that it has blue glowy lights and makes a whirring sound.
Anyway, it is now (very early) on day 2 of Thailand. Our plan of action for today is to rescue DC from Kuala Lumpur and then make a plan. And then eat. As is not said in Thailand, adiós!
