The Oz experience-Part 4

       Well, you might be wondering did i do anything else part from work.I did manage to go and see blue mountains before it caught fire later that week. It was an amazing place and the guide was a 95 year old guy who ran faster than anyone in the group! There were people of all nationalities. I did interact with few of them , there was a Taiwanese gentleman who was also there on office work. A Korean family , american woman, German teenager, an strange Indian and few i can recall now.
       American lady and husband has long distance relationship, she was describing that to the other Indian in the group. The Taiwanese gentleman wanted to talk but Japanese girls treated him like a leper.I talked to him a bit, he was working in insurance and was there for 15 days. German girl was on break year working/travelling Australia.She was like 6 foot tall.I usually avoid people with negative tendencies in beautiful places.The only other Indian seemed like that kind of person.He was cribbing and complaining , he had issues with other religion/his company/ people, i got fed up and avoided him after that.He was sitting next to the German girl in the bus, whenever he talked one sentence always crept up "she is so tall, my god" .Lol!  We stopped at Leura for lunch

    The guide boarded us in a ferry which left us at Darling Harbour, i saw a mademe Tusssad's here. I also saw Starbucks finally, it was so chilly that i did not  mind 20 mins wait for my hot chocolate.It was an amazing place, and well worth the travel.
     The same weekend i went to Bondi beach with a new friend Aslam (who was there again from an IT company!) ,i saw Bondi was more of a show off place with Reebok all over the place.Indians avoid getting tanned so i was sitting in shade and people were sun bathing. Also went to opera house and saw fireworks and the show, it was 100 years of navy week there.(lucky me!).This is where i had met Aslam, who had Indian look(you never know its Indian or srilankan or wat), we got talking when he asked me to take a touristy pic of his with Navy people! He was again from India but been abroad for many years, currently was working in Bangalore.It was really amazing to find another Indian who actually was not robotic and uttered non slangy and  non accented English! :)
