The Library, like the toilets and their buttons, continues to confuse me on a regular basis. Not only is there no map, but books and journals can be checked out for various amounts of time. The fines vary depending on what type of item you checked and and how restricted it is-1 hour, 3 hour, 3 day, or 2 weeks (at least I think those are the amounts of time).
Here is a link, also requested by Dad: The University of Canterbury Library Summary of Borrower Privileges and Lending Policies:

Two other people-watchings worth mentioning:
1. A fellow student using the toilets while listening to an ipod.
2. A cyclist text-messaging on her phone, while riding on the street.

I have NEVER heard of a 1-hour load period with 5 cents per minute overdue fees. Talk about pressure for speed-reading incentive: Tick, tick, tick,...
Hey Annie!
I'm Monterey and Tee's daughter Deb and I'm loving your blog, FYI. I live in LA but have an Aussie boyfriend, and we're planning a trip Down Under in October, so I'm taking notes of your new vocab. Keep up the great writing!
Best,
Deb
(p.s. I'm afraid you've set a high standard -- I'm going to Italy next week for 10 days and I think my folks are expecting me to do a daily report like you!)
