Oh you'll have a great time. The travelling is a bit unnerving but you'll find it's actually easier than it was before - not so many people!
Um - why are you funny looking?

I was surprised that the trains were actually full! I think Europe is definitely going to have a second wave after summer... hope you are doing okay in the Victoria!
Funny-looking... my sense of humour...
I am Australian with Asian blood... I can't tell you how often I get stopped for passport and baggage checks at Customs. It can get quite amusing when I'm travelling with my family, my wife is Australian (European blood) and our children are halfies... There have been times when I've been stopped, and they wait for me... and they get told to keep moving whilst my wife is trying to say that we are travelling together. The last time, we arrived at passport control, we all stepped up to the desk together... but my wife and kids were in the lead (I was following whilst trying to fish out our documents...). I was angrily told to stand back and wait for my turn....
It doesn't happen on the Australian end... I don't think it is anything more than expectation (not meant with ill-intent)... in Europe, mixed couples are much less common!
Oh boy - that's pretty darn racist. As you know, we accept Asians here, unless we think they're from China, in which case we go at them with burning crosses. I know you must be used to it but that does suck. I guess a sense of humour gets you through. Sigh.
Ah well, I figure it is more due to lack of exposure rather than anything overt! I do find it amusing at times though...
yeah that's true!!!
