But when you do get the chance to chat to people beyond the irrational layers of us/them (often one-to-one as group scenarios trigger the brain-dead zombie within us all), it's almost always warm and worthwhile, if not a bit sad because you know on leaving you're both going back into zombie land to deal with the idiot caricatures which divide us. |
yeah. this may sound odd but one group of people i really enjoy talking to is prostitutes. when i was holidaying in bali and also bangkok i would often talk to the prostitutes to learn about their lives and try to understand why they did what they did. had some terrific conversations. |
Hey, me too. It's something to do for the other 25 minutes of the 30 minute booking.  |

I've just finished my second of 5 weeks working in Broadmeadows/Dallas.
Still yet to see a burqa.

| Went to McDonalds in Broadmeadows and the girl serving was wearing a burqa. I noticed it was quite dirty and tattered and a bit smelly. It actually put me off so we walked out and went across the road to Hungry Jacks. Here was another girl wearing a burqa. I was happy to see that it was clean and it actually was nicely decorated with beads and sequins. That's when I realised - the Burqas are Better at Hungry Jacks.... |
