It was another interesting bunch of people that I came across this weekend at the airport. These included 3 Swiss travellers - more than I would usually come across. All enjoyed their stay and travels here and one did an intensive English course at Byron Bay. It'd have to be a good combination there - beach, partying and learning English all at the same time!
There were a lot of backpackers who had seen much more of the country than I have. One of them was a young Swiss guy who had strayed off the beaten tourist track a bit and visited quite a few places that I had barely heard of. It was his intention to get away from the tourist hordes. A German girl I met was only here for a short stay this time but had already organised her return trip in April with her boyfriend and had a job lined up.
Another one who loved Sydney so much that he was planning his return was a 30ish English guy. He was here doing 2 weeks training for his company and they offered him a full time position here. It sounded like he was going to to take it - just had to talk it through with his wife and sort out visa and other formalities.
I briefly chatted to a Kiwi on an Emirates flight who was travelling back to Bangkok to get his dental work redone. He had dental treatment there last year (at one third of the cost of in New Zealand) but there had been some complications. He didn't seem too upset about it though and thought that the Thai dental treatment was generally good and he had just been unlucky.
Till next week.
