i’m going to bitch for a second about how aussies get totally ripped off –
it’s xmas party season & for whatever reason xmas parties mean costume parties. (they dont dress up for halloween but bring it on for xmas). my company’s party is this friday with a circus/sideshow/carnival theme. my costume involves tats. i’ve got some stuff sorted but had intended to buy that tattoo paper so i could print off temp tattoos (thinking vine like branches up my neck). i’ve called and visited a multitude of shops (craft, kmart, office supplies) and no one has them. the office shop used to but they dont carry it anymore.
so this morning i go online. i can find 2 places in AU that sell it & thus would get it to me on time. here’s where the bitch starts:
to order a few pages in the states i’d be paying about u$12 (converted to maybe 16 aussie). to order the same amount here it’s $a50.
argh.
