Extensive research shows, that people from Adelaide are just plain weird. Maybe Kobe san's parents are from Adelaide.
Maybe not.
In unrelated events, I went to visit my parent's house the other day, they are building one, and was sticky beaking through the laundry as its in lock up - and they have the swankiest looking laundry tub I have ever seen. I am in awe of the tub. Its this large oval bowl thing that has a kind of lean to it. On a lovely dark blue cabinet thing, with swishy knobs. Awe, I tell you. I am so taken with this laundry innovation. Its almost art.
I didn't notice their front door, I was too taken with the tub.
