- Speaking of finding money in the form of bills, I once found three hundred dollar bills funnily enough in a Wal-Mart parking lot. I didn't see anyone it could belong to either, and ended up turning it over to the police, who were required to hold it for six months, and told me I should have just kept it. But six months later I got a nice little cash infusion.
- Just a quick note that while Sydney Harbour has lots of bays within it, if you're talking about the water in front of the Opera House it is more commonly called the Harbour, not the Bay.
Glad to Geo mastered the coffee ordering. There was a joke for a while that a skinny flat white was also called a Gwenyth Platrow - Yeah, that mall kiosk/vendor thing is happening even up here in the frozen north. Canadian malls are chock full of helicopters and intricately cut foil, (only with Canucks and Maple Leafs), not to mention sunglasses, engravings, puzzles, and other manner of knick-knackery.
- In regards to being rude when accosted by sales people, it's all a matter of your mindset to the scenario that is playing out.
The tact I usually take is to smile, shake my head, and continue walking. Now, you said that this makes you feel like you're the one being rude, however another way to think of it is that if you're not actually interested in their product then continuing on stops not only your time from being wasted but theirs as well, so is in fact the more polite option you can take.
It's all a matter of perception.
