Parsed Participle

I flew into Sydney this morning, and from there to Mebourne. I am here on a short Golden Week vacation. The family is rendezvousing here instead of Chennai, India for various logistical reasons, but from my part, a visit to Australia has lonjg been overdue. Sadly, at least one old friend from school who used to live (Arjun) here no longer does. I ended up buying one of those 'pocket wifi' devices at Sydney Airport. I had to do that because I was depending on my Android and tethering for connectivity but apparently NTT Docomo does indeed lock their Galaxy-S phones. Let's see how how the pocket wifi thing works out. The funny thing is I was under the impression that I was hiring it and not buying it (as one usually hires a phone at an airport). More later.
