Forgot to mention I met the first aussie in KL - a guy from QLD called Mitch. We had a beer, cause we were both from the same country and both travelling alone.
He had an interesting life, was a plumber and did jobs in the torres straight islands.
-drinks 5 L of water before 9am cuse of the heat there
-natives eat turtle and dugongs, dugong has red meat and tastes like beef. Both animals are cought by guys who jump off boats onto their backs. Populations of both are depleting.
-australias border is only 1 km from the Papua coast
This marked the 3rd night in a row that I had gone for dinner / drinks with a guy and they offered to pay. All friendly rather than datey but, an event that if it happened even once in australia I would have had a blimp write about it in the sky. Life is different when you travel that is for sure.
In speaking to other solo travellers I have been lucky meeting people. I have eatten alone about 4 times this whole trip as I usually seem to meet people. Diving helps, common interests and all.
