This week I encountered lots of Irish visitors who all seemed to enjoy their stay Down Under. They included a couple here for a family wedding in the Hunter Valley and to stay with relatives in Gosford. I also chatted to a young Irish lass who had been working here for the last few months.
On a flight to Christchurch was an American businessman from Colorado who works for a medical equipment company. I guess this is a busy industry to be in with fast advancing technologies and our ageing population.
Travelling to Malaysia were a Chilean guy in Sydney for just one night on business - that's what you call a quick business trip! There was also a Malaysian guy here to spend a week with his girlfriend in Sydney.
On British Airways back to London was an English guy who was in Sydney for a job interview and to visit a friend. He already knew that he had got the job (in the engineering field) and now had to get everything organized for the big move to Australia.
Also travelling home on BA was a German guy in his early 30's who had travelled over most of the country during the last few months. But, in contrast to most backpackers I come across, he had travelled mainly by train - on the Indian Pacific, the Ghan and the Overlander trains. He found train travel much more appealing and quite economical using a rail pass. That's something I need to look into myself. I quite enjoy rail travel but haven't done much for a long time.
Till next week.
