10 days ago, I took this photo whilst visiting the Table Cape near Wynyard with the group organised by CSA. Just before heading back to Launceston, I got into a conversation with a young woman with distinct features in our group. I thought shes either from Timor Leste or Ambon, or somewhere nearby. Turned out shes a Balinese. So we conversed in Bahasa Indonesia/Malaysia. I was pleased that I can do it smoothly without struggling. Quite enjoyed that actually. We were interrupted by a student from China curious about the magazine I had in my hand. That magazine proved rather popular. It turned out, those university students from China actually struggle a bit with reading my magazine because the writings were from top to bottom, and from right to left. And was in traditional characters. Not the same format as in China. It turned out many of those students from China thought I am Japanese. Some thought I was Korean perhaps because the two guys next to me were conversing in Korean. And they were surprised I can converse in Mandarin Chinese fluently. Haha!! Quite funny.
