From pege 40
to, according to those prometion
ads featuring Crocodile Dundee’s
Paul Hogan. : :
if you want the bright lights,

all the glamor and glitz you and
‘your bankbook can stand.

MasterCard and Visa are now
widely accepted. Most prices are
similar to those in Canada; the two
currencies are about par, a big
change from the days when you
needed $1.30 Canadian to buy $1
Australian.

However, car rentals tend to be
expensive. Thanks to a local con-

— a Rent-A-Wreck special — from
A-Team Car Rentals for $20 a day.

That’s about half what the
cheapest normal rental costs — a
fact I have to tell myself every time
one cf the retread tires goes flat or
@ rusty part in the cooling system

says goodbye to a connecting hose.
If you like a drop of something
when you eai out, many restau-
tants are B.Y.O.B. You often see a
group of diners carrying a cooler
of various wines for the evening.
Finally, when you phone home
from Australia (or New Zealand,
the U.K., France, Hong Kong, Ita-
ly or Japan), consider Canada

8868 or your local Teleglobe office
for the access phone numbers.
