 My motel. Three of the reviews described it as "perfect for visiting a soldier in Kapooka". I almost feel like I should visit one now just to make the most of it. Earlier today, someone phoned me this morning and left a voicemail. When I bought my Australian SIM card, the man in the shop warned me never to check the voicemail number because, due to some weird complexity in how calls get billed, it would be much more expensive than eny other type of call. I had to check it to find out who it was but I didn't think that would take long. I was wrong about that as there was an incredibly lengthy process which I had to go through: setting a PIN for future use, recording my name, recording my "please leave a message" message, recording some other message which I mucked up and which I think has ended up saying "what?", and so on. It turned out that the call was from this motel asking what time I would get here. I gave an estimate which has in fact turned out to be completely wrong. I'm here three hours earlier than I said. The woman here doesn't seem to mind though so I don't really know whay she asked.
