In Tokyo you get parking space, then car
larlimughlahOLL
Split the bill at the end of the
'there aren't many chairs in
Japan. "You sit on the floor,
sleep on the floor. You roll
out a bed every night (a titin
futon -like mat). And shoos
are always off at the door."
Driving is a real luxury in
Tokyo. You have to buy a
parking space before you buy
a car. And it's almost the
same amount of money for
the parking spot, as it is for
the car:'
Because of the cost of dri-
ving and limited amount of
space, most people bike.
There's not much room for
cemeteries because of lack of
space so most people are cre-
mated when they die.
When someone gets a cold
or a minor illness and still
wants to go out and go to
work, they wear a mask over
their mouth to prevent the
spread of germs.
GOLF BIG LUXURY
"To golf in Japan is VERY
prestigious. There's no land
for courses over there. They
will fly to another country to
play. They pay $4.000 for a
round of golf, and a yearly
membership is S100,000."
Japanese golfers always wear
gloves when they play, and
will have white hands from
golfing in the sun with their
gloves un.
"The young guys will sun-
tan with golf gloves on so the
girls will think they have
money," says Kelly.

He took pictures of Canada
with him on his trip. "1
showed people a picture of
my farm and they couldn't
believe I owned it at my age
and how much space there
was." he said.
Only one per cent of the
population in Japan is for-
eign. And of that one per
cent. half are Korean. So he
definitely "stuck out" in a
• crowd. "School kids wanted
their picture taken with me.
They're very shy people. so it
was a big thing asking for a
picture."
HONG KONG
As referred to in more
detail in an accompanying
story. Hong Kong is "a civil
engineer's dream." says
Kelly. Here and in other
countries. he was able to see
actual buildings he tested as
models at UWO's wind tun-
nel in London.
The division of wealth is
very apparent in here and
many wealthy families have
live-in maids from Thailand.
Hottest Day
1. 39` C - Perth. Australia
2. 36° C - Jakarta. Indonesia
3. 34` C - Darwin, Australia
"The Thai girls come over
as maids fur the upper class
families. They (Thai girls) all
meet every Sunday in one
spot. They buy gifts to send
home to their families, as
well as money."
DOWN UNDER
Kelly was able to see Ayers
Rock and take pictures of it
but•he wasn't able to climb it.
"The week before i gut there
a Japanese tourist guide fell
off the rock and was killed so
they weren't letting any-
body."
He saw the Olgas rock for-
mation and rented a car with
other backpackers and drove
through the outback. "We
saw wild camels and horses.
We drove three hours and
only met seven cars. We were
in the middle of nowhere."
Because there isn't a rail-
way system in Australia, they
have gigantic transport trucks
called "road trains" that are
tractor trailers with about six
large trailers on behind.
'They've got 110 tires and
are 150 -feet long. You know
when you pass one on the
road"
To make things even more
frightening for drivers, there
are no speed limits and "no
rules basically."
Kelly spent some time in
Kaktt National Park which
KELLY 'DOWN UNDER'
is about the same size as
Holland. "We spent three
days in it." He saw many nat-
ural wonders there including
10 -foot high termite moun-
tains which were "hard as
rock." He saw a park workers
feed chickens to a crocodile
using a long pole.
On one of their treks
through the park, their guide
got their land rover stuck in
an alligator -filled river while
crossing it. "We were stuck
in the water for one hour."
They were on the lookout for
crocodiles, which will go
after humans, while their
guide freed the truck. Luckily
none of the beasts showed
up.
Kelly also managed to fit in
some horseback riding along
the ocean beach and scuba
diving at the Great Barrier
Reef.
"1 was busy. I never
stopped the whole time."
He travelled to Fraser
Island with other people he
met at a hostel. "It was an all -
sand island. There were sand
dunes everywhere. 1 went
barefoot for three days. We

During the past 3 and a half years you
have entrusted me with your thoughts
and concerns to speak on your behalf
in Ottawa. On June 2nd you made a
choice to return me to Ottawa to serve
you in Canada's parliament. At this
time I would like to extend my
warmest appreciation and heartfelt
gratitude to everyone for their hard
work and dedication to re-elect me as
your representative. Your devoted
efforts and continuous support are met
with enormous respect and praise. I look forward to continuing
our mandate and working closely with you as we meet the next
century with much anticipation and success.
Sincerely.
