Adelaide is the only other Australian city with a public transport system that uses trams (the other being Melbourne).
The tram runs from the city to the seaside suburb of Glenelg. If you want to use the tram in the city the tram is free.

AirAsiaX has inter-seat chat available on some of its flights. The service is free, even if you don’t buy the entertainment service.
To get started select the chat option, then select the seat of the person you want to chat with.
Chat seat selection
You then get a message box where you type via the touch screen.
Write message
When you send the message the recipient will get a message like this.
You have a chat message
I guess it would be handy if you have a friend sitting in another row, but I wonder how it goes with talking to strangers?
I was flying solo so I had no one to try it out on. I don’t know what the inter-seat chat etiquette is with sending a message to a stranger. Do you walk up and down the isles first checking out anyone you fancy and note down their seat number?
Have you used this service before on AirAsia, or any other airline? Share your experience in the comments.

I have always thought that the daily changing of sheets at hotels was unnecessarily wasteful. So I was happy to see this good idea when I checked into my room at Tune Hotels in Kuala Lumpur.
Optional Linen Change
Tune Hotels is a “low cost hotel”, brought to you by the man behind Air Asia, Tony Fernandes. Like a low cost airline, this hotel chain employ an a la Carte pricing method to your hotel bill. So you pay for your room, then choose any extra’s such as internet and air-conditioning (fan rooms come as standard).
Reducing their laundry bill is another way they are reducing costs, but I like how they remind you that it is the environmentally friendly thing to do.

There are so many cool little guesthouses in Ubud you either need to get a recommendation of which ones are good, or spend a half a day walking around reconnoitering. One street I would like to come back to is Jalan Kajeng.
Jalan Kajeng - Ubud, Bali
As you can see from the paving stones they have come up with a novel way of raising money to repave the street. You can buy a stone for the street, which will then have a message or illustration carved on for you. As well as the usual “James was here 2009″ type messages there were a few advertising websites.
