no1---many years ago travelling to Hong Kong from Sydney with hubby and daughter we were seated in middle 4 seats.Beside me was a venerable old chinese gentleman whom i thought was maybe on his first flight.Talking together we discovered he had been staying with family who lived a few streets from us in Sydney.So much for my venerable gentleman---he was a professor of aquaculture(before it became well established) for the United Nations.We corresponded for many years.
No2----now living in Perth and in St Georges terrace when asked by tourist where they could get a bus to wherever.Said we didn,t know as new to Perth.Asked where they were from and reply was an address about 100yds from our old home.
no3-----and if you live in the western suburbs of Perth you have to be very careful as it is a case of about 1 or 2 degrees of separation.Everyone knows one another.
