Three Cups of Tea
I fail to recall who, but somebody recommended that I read "Three Cups of Tea", so when I browsed my local library's selection of audio books the title stuck out and I downloaded it. "Three Cups of Tea" is the biography of Greg Mortensen and is the story of how coincidence and a failed attempt to climb K2 lead him to his mission...
I watched Australia , the movie.
While watching Australia , I was so glad that I was watching it in 'Gold Class' for two reasons: 1) The cinema is small and the toilet is really close.
