A Conference, A Large Family Group Aussie Holiday and More

I've only been working one day a week lately at the airport but still managing to catch up with lots of interesting visitors.

This week I spoke to 2 passengers on the Taipei flight who had both been attending a large academic conference at a Sydney university. Also on the same flight was a Filipino/Taiwanese student on her way home after spending the year studying here.

On a flight to Hong Kong I spoke to a young member of a large family group of 9 who were here for a one week holiday in Sydney, Melbourne and Canberra. Between them they spent about A$2500 per day on accomodation & food and drinks alone so they certainly helped our economy. s

Heading back to London where she is now living was an Aussie woman who had come back home for a short stay mainly to do gardening work at her house in Nowra, NSW.

Other visitors of note this week were a Fijian guy here for a week on business, an American guy here on business who I had also come across on his previous trip 'Down Under' and a friendly couple from Pennsylvania, USA who had just spent 2 weeks in Oz and 2 weeks in New Zealand and had a great time.

Till next time.
