The Long Way to Vanuatu, Stevie Wonder Concert in Sydney & Another Prospective Emigrant

This week I chatted to a fellow who was travelling from Fiji to Vanuatu via Sydney. He'd arrived in Sydney in the morning from Fiji and was off to Vanuatu in the evening and hadn't left Sydney airport. That's what you call the 'real long way round'. Well there are direct flights, unfortunately there were none on this particular day of the week.

Then there was another UK guy living in Berlin who had only 2 nights in Sydney to visit a friend after a stay in New Zealand. He ended up going to the Stevie Wonder concert after purchasing the ticket at the last minute on the recommendation of his friends partner who went to the concert 2 nights in a row. He was in New Zealand checking out job options and had to decide in the next few days whether to take a position and move his family from Germany to New Zealand.

I came across a few others here for short term business or work trips. One was an American who had worked on a new water desalination plant currently being built on the Gold Coast. There were also quite a few visitors here to catch up with family including a 16 year old German girl who travelled here on her own to visit family in Sydney.

Other memorable travellers included a couple of young Swiss girls who rented a car and drove from Brisbane to Cairns and a German woman who really hated Cairns but loved Port Douglas.

I often come across people who are considering emigrating Down Under. This week I talked to a guy from Qatar who had visited most of the major Australian capitals to determine where he liked best. He had done some sort of qualifying immigration test while he was in Melbourne. His overall verdict was that he liked Perth best so we just might be soon welcoming him as a new resident over in the West.

Till next time.
