Bye to Roz. Off to Miri

Up about 8:15, showered, then caught a taxi to the bus terminal to buy a ticket to Miri. 80 ringget. I'm on a night bus tonight at 9:00, it's a 14-hour bus trip. Back to the hotel, packed, then went up to see Roz, she was busy packing too.

After we finished packing, we checked out, put our bags in storage, and walked around, went to see the BIG cat statue, then to the aquarium, then we went shopping for shoes and souvenirs. She bought two pairs of All Stars (she kind of collects Converse All Stars), and I bought a pair of slip on shoes. Also bought some postcards.

We went for supper at Denis's, then back to the hotel, and she got a taxi to the airport, she was flying back to England tonight, and she was very sad to go.

I used the internet, then back to the hotel and got a taxi to the bus terminal at about 8:00. The bus left shortly after 9:00. Holy comfortable seats, Batman. They don't recline, they are already in the recline position, made of leather and super soft and comfy, perfect for falling asleep. They also have that "head hole" thing that a dentists' chair would have for the back of your head (at least my dentist has one), so your head doesn't flop around when your asleep! It was wonderful. And tons of leg room, never seen a bus like this before.

Managed to fall asleep.

Forgot a story from yesterday. Yesterday, when we were at the Cultural Village, during the live performance at the end of the day, one of the performers was using a blowpipe, blowing darts at balloons. He hit two of them, then missed the next one (on purpose, it was part of the show, methinks.) Everyone in the audience kind of laughed, he looked at the audience, with a look of "Oh ya, and you think you can do better?". And he proceeded to pick someone out of the audience. He picked Roz. Roz and I were the only whities in the whole audience, I knew it'd be either me or her. She went up on stage and he had Roz shoot a dart at one of the balloons. And she hit it! She couldn't believe it, after she sucked earlier in the day. After the show, outside the auditorium, everyone was coming up to Roz, telling her what a great shot she was, and congratulating her. She said to me she would have died on stage if she'd had missed it!!
