So, there is this one thing I just have to get off my mind:

As it is common knowledge, in Australia everything is the other way round (I don't want to be biased and say the wrong way since it is impossible to say what it right and what is wrong). The cars for example go on the other side of the road, the sun goes anti-clockwise (how unlogical is that, thinking of how it came to the meaning of the word "clockwise"?), the moon is also hanging in a bit a weird way in the sky... but that's fine, because we all know about it.

But then you are in a shopping mall. With escalators. And on which side do you have to enter them? On the right! The escalators going your way are on the left and the escalators leading you away are on the right. Now why's that? Then you go to the next set of escalators (because it's starting to get interesting) and guess what: now you actually have to go to the left side in order to enter them... So what do we learn? Don't rely on experience or logic, because otherwise you're just gonna start randomly bumping into people you don't really feel like touching ;)

Now that's OK with me. It's not like I ever really expected shopping malls to be built in a logical way. Who cares? Definitely not all those dressed up chics that go there daily - it's not like they would ever notice.
But that they built something similar in the physics building at Melbourne Uni, is a different league and actually way more amusing. So I am speaking of 2 specific entries of the building, both lying rigt on top of each other: one on the ground floor and the other on the first floor, accessible via a ramp (which ends on the ground floor right in front of bike stands, the reason why I often use this entrance). Both entries look very alike. This lies in the fact that the surrounding walls are the same and the surrounding area also is very similar. Then also they both have the same kind of doors: glass doors which slide open, by making space on either the right or the left hand side in the glass-area (depending on which wide you are standing), controlled via movement in front of them. To open them you have to stand right in front of the area where you want the door to slide open - standing slightly next to it (or on the wrong side where the door is going to slide indo) won't do anything.
Now the interesting thing is that the door on the ground level will open to the right (if you are going to enter the building). I am not going to talk about this being ridiculous because everything is supposed to be on the left hand side in Australia. But what I am going to talk about is the hilarious fact, that the door right on top of this one, the door on level one, opens on the left side. The reason why this is hilarious, is located in confused students standing in front of the wrong side of the door, wondering why on earth it is not opening - being very sure, that it did so many times before.
I personally am still the opinion, that there is this funny person sitting in front of his desk in the basement, watching the cameras of those two doors, laughing each time when a confused student/staff happend to go to the wrong side, and the door wouldn't open. He already laughed many times at me. It doesn't even help having entered very many times through those doors, believe me: everyone gets caught on them once in a while (at least once a week).
It is still interesting though, that they built the doors for this building only like this, because of this one funny person watching the cameras. Maybe there is another reason, I haven't come up with it yet though.
