Happy Belated Australia day to those in Australia. I actually wanted to post yesterday but I had a stomach ache and it ended up as diarrhea so the time I was going to write the post I ended up in the bathroom trying to shit everything out. Ok maybe that was too much information I'm sorry. Today I will share two instances where I spent time with Australians. One instance will be in person and one instance will be virtual.
Physical
I believe the first time I ever met an Australian was during my university time. I studied under an Australian program so the university was actually based in Australia but I was studying in Malaysia. There were occasions where the Australian lecturer would come to Malaysia and teach one or two classes over the weekend. Something I noticed was that the Australian teachers were super chill and nice compared to the Malaysian lecturers. Before meeting them though, I did hear from people that came back or chose to study in Australia that they were like this but I didn't truly understand. After meeting them though, I can see why people would want to go to the Australia campus to finish their last year of degree. They said it was super easy and super hard to fail. Due to how expensive it was though to live in Australia, I chose not to go there to finish my last year.
****Virtual****
The first time I met Australians virtually was through a podcast. It was the first ever podcast I ever attended in my life. The hosts of these podcasts are from Australia and their hive names go by Bobaphet, giortix and mattclarke. I don't want to tag them but you can check their hive accounts out. Anyways it was just a podcast about Splinterlands which is an online web3 TCG game that we play and love.
I went on this podcast with my mentor, Aruchard. The podcast was just talking about how we got into crypto and Splinterlands. The hosts were super nice and I'm looking forward to attending another podcast in the future because there was just so much more that could've been talked about but we just didn't have the time since the podcast was only one hour.
For the future though, I may want to meet the hosts in real life if I ever visit Australia when I have the money. I'd also want to meet up with galen as well. Well that's all for me this week. Enjoy the Australia day weekend!
