3. Amazing Imagination


People can have a good travel if only B&B is there. I took only a Bed in hotel excluded a Breakfast. I must have supply a breakfast in Cairns as people usually do.
I would like to live there. I was surprised at large scale food stuffs and the food situation in a low price. Not only an abundant natural resources but also a simple circulation in Australia is able to be well off. Nevertheless rationalism makes good food condition, the display of foods is no good. I have an illusion being in a ware house because of a lot of pile up boxes.
I selected fruit to keep good sides and exclude corrupted articles. I paid 54$ because of 34$ in all. A cashier returned me 4$ quickly and gave me a change for 50$ note, calling 35, 40, and 50. I knew that counting method, but I like 20$ note better than 16$. She was a stubborn cashier teaching "When a Rome do as the Roman do".I heard reversely in Japan,
"Do you have small coins?".
I made a large souvenir of small changes. 1 to 50 cents, 1$, and 2$ coins are decorated by a opossum, a frilled necked lizard, a etchidna, a peacock, a platypus, a kangaroo and a emu, Australian popular animal "kangaroos" , and an astronomer and the Crux. Recently a family is designed in a most large coin 50 cent. It is a dynamic theme with animals and humanity. On the other hand in Japan, 1 to 500 Yen coins with a statical image plants and temple, that is a designed young plant, a rice plant, leaves decoration and an temple, Japanese popular tree "cherry", and a paulownia.
I have a lot of new year's cards stamped with an annual animal in Japan. We fall into the habit of naming a new year with 12 animals, mouse, cattle, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, sheep, monkey, chicken, dog, and wild boar originally pig in Chinese and Korea. And more a dozen animals combine with 5 elements, Tree, Fire, Earth, Metal , Water in turn. '95 is Tree-Boar, '96 is Fire-Mouse, and '97 is Fire-Cattle ... People is able to know , belong the annual animals, how old is he, his turning point of life every 12 years because of same animal, anniversary at 60 years because of same annual animals and elements.
On the contrary Christmas cards have flowers and trees colored in red and green.
It is an amazing imagination that Australia has the annual plants and native animals. Australian have practical 7 animals in coins now and I hope to have more 5 animals like a kookabula designed in the world biggest 30$ silver coin, a koala, a wombat, a dingo, and a crocodile for a dozen annual animals. 5 plants like a eucalyptus, a poinciana, a jakaranda, a macadamia, a walnut make an amusement year and Christmas cards decorated with eucalyptus-koala this year, poinciana-kangaroo next year. The Every Australian Christmas Cards will be requested from the world more than 60 years....
As I am taking breakfast of a walnut pan, I thought I would search a bed by myself next time in Australia for another amazing imagination.
