At Townsville's largest combined birthday party at the weekend ,where there was only one cake and one candle, peanut butter popular, a Little Darwin roaming correspondent , a vegan , produced the unusual above badge from a Japanese vegan cafe in Kyoto, where he had dined. Tech savvy , he got his smart phone to translate the badge and the action figures came alive , spreading various messages in respect of veganism , touching on saving animals, water , soil and the planet.
Our correspondent is a great fan of Japan ,where he has been on several occasions , and would dearly like to live there . In Townsville, from Melbourne , he installed a security system in his mother's house , and one day while the front gate was open to allow car access , his computer warned him Santa had just driven by on a motorbike! Sure enough , there was the jolly bloke on a Harley riding by. Our correspondent , who has a way with animals, also rescued a largish stray dog, carried it a long distance to his mother's home, and using his computer skills soon located its owner .
