I was fortunate to again chat with a very varied and mostly friendly bunch of people this last weekend.
My first encounter was with a friendly 60ish French fellow who had been on a short group tour around the country - over two weeks he visited Melbourne, Sydney, Alice Springs, Darwin and Cairns. His English was a little limited but from what I could gather he enjoyed his stay.
On another flight back to Europe was an New Zealander living in England who flies helicopters for a living. He had travelled to Oz for a for a stay of only 4 days - 3 days with family in Bondi and 1 day on business in Maitland. This reminded me of something else I must do one day - take a flight in a helicopter!
Heading home to Malaysia was a Malaysian family group who had just had a holiday in Sydney and the wineries in the Hunter Valley. The older family member I spoke to really raved about the high quality of the wines from boutique wineries that they visited. They had purchased plenty of wine to enjoy when they arrived back home.
On China Airlines was a friendly young Taiwanese couple who had spent time in Sydney and with a friend in Canberra. They were very happy to chat and answer my questions despite their very limited English. I also came across an English couple heading back to Auckland where they now live after a stay in Sydney. They had been to Sydney numerous times and commented that they knew Sydney so well that they are able to show other visiting friends around the city.
Till next week.
