Last night I went Speed Dating at UWA (University of Western Australia). Very interesting. You only really hear about speed dating in movies and I think that it is something everyone should check off their life to-do lists at least (probably no more than) once.
We showed up and signed in to a card suit (I was the Jack of Spades). They arranged us by suits and then gave us a card that had the whole deck on it. The idea was that after you talked to someone who you enjoyed chatting with, you’d take note of their card and circle it on your sheet. At the end of the night we turned in our cards and then they cross-referenced everything and sent out matches. Word is in, three matches (none Australian)!! Hizzah! With hindsight, I wish I circled everyone just to see how many I really matched with, that would have been a nice confidence boost. Oh well.
At the end of the night they gave us a nice bag full of educational pamphlets on sex and then, before leaving, I breathalised myself - .046 (legal limit is .05 here). Not bad. They have machines in bars and restaurants where you pay a buck to check your BAC. It’s a nice thing to know – something that U.S. pubs could pick up on. Just a thought.
Take Care,
