A Birthday Party in Goa, An English Dentist and an Emigrant to Newcastle

There have still been lots of overseas students heading home for a break after their year of study. These included 2 Malaysians, 1 Thai postgraduate student and even one from Myanmar.

I came across a young English dentist who had been working in Bunbury, Western Australia for a year or so and was now working in Mildura, Victoria. According to him there is plenty of work here for overseas dentists at present.

On a flight back to London was a UK guy who had been working in Newcastle for a few weeks at the airport there. He was going home for a few weeks to get his wife and children organized to emigrate here in January and take up a permanent position in Newcastle. Quite a big step for a young family to take. And coincidentally he had spent some of his childhood years growing up in Newcastle, England.

Heading to New Zealand was an English lady and her young son who had been here for a few weeks accompanying her husband who had been working in Scone, NSW.

A very friendly Indian gentleman was on the Thai flight to Bangkok and then onto India. He was heading for Goa where they were going to have a birthday celebration for his son. His son and other family members were already back there. Afterwards the rest of the family were going holidaying in the USA while the father was coming back to Oz to work and earn a few more dollars to pay for it all!

More traveller stories next week.
