Tony, at Wanderlust, Vancouver's best travel shop, told me way back in 1994, before all this started: The difference between travelling in Australia and SE Asia is this: in the morning, when you wake up in Australia, you'll know pretty much what to expect from your day; when you wake up anywhere in SE Asia, you know the day's going to be full of surprises. To be fair, I found Australia to be full of fascinating surprises; a fact which in no way diminishes Tony's point.
