Friday Five
1. What's the last place you traveled to, outside your own home state/country?
Interstate would be Melbourne (Victoria) for the AUUG (Australian Unix Users Group) conference last year. Or maybe that trip to Canberra in November... International would be a long time ago, WWDC in San Jose 2000?
2. What's the most bizarre/unusual thing that's ever happened to you while traveling?
Getting lost in San Jose and being unable to find the tram back to my hotel because nobody knew what a tram was (I should have asked for the trolley). Or maybe in Italy, trying to explain to a chemist that I needed flu medication for my wife. I can't speak Italian, he couldn't speak English and everything was in drawers (not on display). I tried to pantomime having a flu. He held up his hand for me to stop and went outside presumably to get someone who could speak English. Instead he came back with his neighbours so they could enjoy the free entertainment. At the end they offered me money....
3. If you could take off to anywhere, money and time being no object, where would you go?
I would love to explore any one of Canada, Scotland or New Zealand. Probably Canada because I have visited the other two previously.
4. Do you prefer traveling by plane, train or car?
Actually coach (bus). You get to see a fair bit (height above road), not too busy and you don't have to put up with the traffic. The downside to a tour is that it is under pressure to get things over and done with.
5. What's the next place on your list to visit?
Canada, I hope.
