to the Gong

The business school that I'm attending is part of the University of Wollongong. I have to admit, the word "Wollongong" sounds like a completely made up name to me. But it is an aboriginal word that means the sound of the ocean. Sydneysiders, who like to shorten words, sometimes call it the Gong. And yesterday, I finally got to visit the main campus for the business school.

The Gong is about 45 minutes south of Sydney--or so I was told. But the bus that drove us down there took about an hour and a half. We drove through some pretty bushland. But what I was surprised to see was a bike lane on the freeway.

It looks like a peaceful road--but cars were going quite fast on it. I cannot imagine riding a bicycle while cars whizzed by me. Still, I thought it was great that they made the effort to paint a bike lane.

The business school is part of the Innovation Campus, which is a couple miles away from the main University of Wollongong campus. It's not a very large campus, so it wasn't too hard to find the business school.

But the real reason I had to write this post is because of what I saw in the bathroom. I felt a little weird taking a picture (I mean, who takes picture inside a bathroom stall?), but I almost burst out laughing when I closed the stall door and saw these signs.

Just in case you can't read it, here are some zoomed in pictures.

I didn't ask whether these same signs (or somewhat modified signs) were in the men's bathroom. It's hard to believe that these signs are common enough that someone has made clip art.
