Saw these adds in a street in Chennai. Sounds like a good job doesn't it - about $600/month. My guess is that may be reasonable income here, but I'll check.

Photo Blogging by Phone?

Not quite sure what this photo of the Burswood Casino in Perth is doing here. It may have been me experimenting again. I'm going to leave it here till I work out how it got here! Days later: OK - Telstra still can't manage posting direct to your blog. This average pic has come via Flickr - where you can upload directly using a Telstra account.
