Creamy Chocolate Bonus Deck = Beneficial Mutation?


The other day I opened my lunch box to find an interesting surprise. I had some Arnott's Creamy Chocolate biscuits in there (favourites since childhood!), and discovered that one had an extra deck (see photo below next to a normal one). The first time I've seen a beneficial mutation in real life. Maybe evolutionary theory could be possible, haha!



Plants for sale from our garden!

Well, we're going to extend out the back of our house, and need to get rid of the garden. So I've put up some pictures of plants there, if anyone wants to buy some :)

2010-07-08: My ride home

This is the plane that would take me back to Australia :)

2010-07-08: Some views of the big city

Instead of just waiting at the airport for a few hours, I decided to take the fast train to Hong Kong CBD, and have a quick look around. Here are a few random photos. When you return the same day on the train, you only have to pay the one-way fare, which was neat. They also had internet access on the train, which I thought would be great, but I found out you had to have an account with the local provider to use it. Oh well!



2010-07-08: Entering Hong Kong

A few more photos from the plane, as we entered Hong Kong...


2010-07-08: Nice places to see..?

These are a few photos taken through the plane window, so they are a bit blurry. I'm not really sure where they were, or what they looked like close up, but from where I was sitting, they looked pretty nice, haha!

2010-07-08: Goodbye Taiwan!

A few photos from Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport, on my way out of Taiwan. Goodbye Taiwan!
