Sydney Stories - Week 41

Hello,

They say it is better to teach a person how to fish rather than catching a fish for him (/her). However, if someone was taught how to fish, also given a fish, marinated and grilled and at the end they say is this how you eat chicken? Well maybe I am exaggerating a little bit. However this is how I felt when one of my team members after an hour long lesson in Excel ignores every bit of it. The client who wanted something in Excel at the end did it himself and showed my team member what he was looking for. Ignorance definitely seems like bliss for someone!! 

Australia has a lot of things, but 2 things I haven't see so far is grape jam (or jelly) and egg substitute in any grocery store. Wonder what the deal is with that. Maybe the Sydneysiders don't care this?

The kids cartoons like Dora and Diego seems like serious business. There are PhDs as part of the research team for these programs. Next time someone completes a PhD in anthropology  he / she might be sought after material for the next kids program.

Halloween was celebrated in pockets here. The stores were marketing the spooky candies but definitely nothing like in US of A. 

Fairly uneventful week last week. Pretty sure this week is going to be interesting. :-)

Have A Great Week!!

Chetty
