Being around with Azmir meant making a lot of Asian friends. Somehow this group didn’t quite merge well with the Aussies, but that doesn’t mean that there were any hard feelings. One day I went to a lecture hall. It was pretty much like at IITK, maybe the microphone was a bit more reliable here, and there were sliding boards, sort of expandable. Anyway, it was a class where people were giving business presentations. It was pretty boring, except for one of the groups, which had a Chinese who failed to pronounce his African teammate’s name, and each time came up with a different pronunciation of Nhiahl.
That day with Azmir’s friend Lawrence, I had a Malaysian standard lunch. It somewhat stressed a bit too much on the coconut, resembling South Indian food in certain aspects.
I also attended a barbeque for the Geomatics department. There was free food.
