Njengoba kungenzeka ukuthi uke waphawula, amaphuzu e-Qantas Rewards manje kulula ukuwathola, kufanele uhlole isicelo sakho sekhadi lesikweletu, umshwalense wezempilo nokuningi. Kungani? Ngoba imbuyiselo yawo incane kunangaphambili. Okwamanje akunakwenzeka ukundiza isigaba sebhizinisi usuka eMelbourne uye eYurophu usebenzisa amaphuzu. Njalo, ingxenye yendiza ende kunazo zonke yisigaba sezomnotho, futhi umzila awuqondile neze. Ukukhushulwa okukhulu kwamaphuzu okundiza njalo kuyinkohliso ngoba inani lawo alisekho.
Ngisanda kuchitha amasonto ambalwa eKorea. Uma kukhona uphahla lapho, ubungagqoka imaski, kanti abantu abangu-95% bebengagqoka imaski emgwaqweni. Kuyadabukisa-ke, bese ubukela umdlalo wakamuva weqembu labantu abathathu abanobugovu abaseminyakeni ephakathi ababevaleleke eSydney endizeni ngoba befuna ukukhululwa. Bafinyelele isifiso sabo ngisho nangemva kokuba abanye abagibeli bebatshele ukuthi bagqoke imaski. Ngaba nenhlanhla yokuhlala ngemuva kwabo kuze kube seSingapore. Izitsha ezingenalutho zivame ukwenza umsindo omkhulu kakhulu.
Ohambweni olufushane oluya eMelbourne, ngemva kokwehla ku-tram, ngaqaphela ukuthi ngishiye isikhwama sami semali ne-iPad yami esihlalweni. Ngagibela i-tram elandelayo ngaya ohlangothini olufanayo futhi ngatshela umshayeli owathumela incazelo ku-radio esikhungweni. Ngashayela bonke abashayeli ucingo futhi kungakapheli nemizuzu emihlanu ngatshelwa ukuthi imithwalo yayilethwe ngumgibeli. Umshayeli owabika ngalesi sigameko wangitshela ukuthi ngilinde i-tram ibuye ngakolunye uhlangothi. Wanginika nenombolo yomzila kanye nenombolo yemoto okufanele ngiyiqaphele. Konke kwakunjengoba eshilo futhi kungakapheli nemizuzu eyi-10 isikhwama sami semali sabuyiselwa kimi. Ngibonga kakhulu abashayeli be-Tram yaseMelbourne kanye nabagibeli abathembekile.

Bengilokhu ngingumsebenzi oziqhenyayo wangaphambilini waseQantas iminyaka ecishe ibe ngu-30, futhi eminyakeni embalwa edlule kube buhlungu kakhulu ukufunda ngokwehluleka kwenkonzo yamakhasimende (okuningi ngaphambi kwe-COVID) njengoba kungaveli emphakathini jikelele kuphela, kodwa futhi nasengxenyeni yemboni yezokuvakasha evela kubo bonke abantu. Ngiyethemba ukuthi abaphathi beQantas bazothatha lokhu kugxekwa futhi babuyisele le nkampani yezindiza enhle 'emoyeni' weqiniso wase-Australia eyayikuwo.
Ngokuthumela i-imeyili yakho, uyavumelana neMigomo Nemibandela ye-Fairfax Media kanye neNqubomgomo Yobumfihlo.
Abanye bababhaleli bakho basanda kukhala ngenkonzo yeQantas. Nansi indaba enhle: emasontweni ambalwa edlule besisePerth Airport silinde ukubuyela eMelbourne. Indiza esangweni elilandelayo yayingafikanga ngesikhathi futhi saqaphela ukuthi umndeni wabantu abathathu kuleyo ndiza wawunenkinga ngokuziphatha kwabafana babo ababili. Njengoba ukukhungatheka kwanda, omunye wabantwana wahlasela ilungu leqembu laseQantas, elalihlala lizolile futhi lilawulekile ngaso sonke isikhathi. Ngahlabeka umxhwele ngendlela yobungcweti iqembu laseQantas elalisingatha ngayo lesi simo esicindezela kakhulu.
Ngiyayithanda ikholomu eqhubekayo kaLee Tulloch (Traveller, Meyi 14). Elinye lamathiphu okuphatha impahla yakho ukuletha izimvilophu ezimbili noma ezintathu ezifakwe amaphedi ukuze ukwazi ukuzithumela izinto ngeposi. Asikaze sibe nenkinga yokuthola izembozo zemicamelo yaseTurkey, amajezi e-cashmere, izingubo ezintsha (noma ezisetshenzisiwe) eSydney. Ukuthenga izimvilophu ezifakwe amaphedi phesheya kwezilwandle kuvame ukuba nzima kakhulu, kodwa ukusebenzisa iposi kuhlale kungenye into ejabulisayo yamasiko. Ngemva kweminyaka yokuhamba ngokungathi sína noma okujabulisayo, ngisebenzisa izingubo ezinemibala. Kungaba yisicefe, kodwa kuzokwenza ubonge ukubuya ekhaya.
Umlobi wakho wephephandaba uLee Tulloch ubhala (ngokungathandi) ukuthi asikho isizathu sokusebenzisa imithwalo ehlolwayo. Ngicela ukuphikisa. Abantu abaletha imithwalo eminingi ethwalwayo ekhabinini bathatha indawo yabanye futhi bavame ukuvimba imigwaqo yokugcina, ukufinyelela kanye nokulanda imithwalo. Abanye babo empeleni bafuna abasebenzi bathwale izikhwama zabo ezinkulu ebhuthini. Imithwalo ethwalwayo kufanele ilinganiselwe kulokho okudingayo ngempela noma ongakwazi ukukuhlola endizeni yakho.
Incwadi kaGlen op den Brou (Traveller Letters, Meyi 21) isola abahambi baseYurophu ngokungayinaki impi yase-Ukraine lapho beya eYurophu, okuyinto engididayo futhi engimangazayo. Angazi ukuthi ukungayi eYurophu kungamshukumisela kanjani uPutin ukuthi anciphise "umsebenzi wakhe okhethekile". Cishe angathanda ukuthi siwuyeke iYurophu. Isimo sikaGlenn asikwazi nokuqaphela umonakalo ongokomzwelo obangelwa ukuvinjelwa kokuhamba kwe-COVID kubantu abaningi baseYurophu ababiza i-Australia njengekhaya futhi abadinga ukululama nomndeni wabo baseYurophu. Ekuqaleni kobhubhane, ubaba walahlekelwa yimpilo yakhe ngenxa ye-Covid-19 waphindela eNetherlands okokuqala eminyakeni emibili nengxenye; kokubili ukuhlonipha ubaba wami oshonile kanye nokusiza ukugubha usuku lokuzalwa lukamama lwama-90. Ngenkathi nginengwa yimpi eyihlazo elwiwa ngumashiqela ohambayo ngokumelene nesizwe esizimele, angiboni ukuthi uhambo lwami luye lwabahlazisa kanjani abantu base-Ukraine - njengezinkulungwane zabantu bakithi abagxile ezweni elidala - babuyela edolobheni lakithi.
Umhlahlandlela wakho okuwukuphela kwawo oya eCorfu, eGrisi (Traveller, Meyi 21) uphuthelwe yisakhiwo esimangalisayo somlando. Vakashela eMon Repos, indawo yokuzalwa kweNkosana uPhilip ongasekho, uMbusi wase-Edinburgh, ibanga elifushane ukusuka edolobheni laseCorfu, phezu kwedwala elihle.

Ihhotela i-Apropos lihlalisa izinja nezinye izilwane (Traveller, 7 Meyi), futhi ngemva kokuvakashela eCanada eminyakeni embalwa edlule, angizange ngiqonde ukuthi kungani izivakashi kwakufanele zilethe izinja zazo. I-petotel yayakhiwe ngendlela yokuthi izinja ze-mongrel zikwazi ukuphumula kubanikazi bazo.
Noma nini lapho ngihamba, ngiphatha ama-pillowcases ambalwa ukuze ngithole induduzo eyengeziwe, futhi ngezinye izikhathi ngiphathe umcamelo wokulala ukuze ngithole ukuthula kwengqondo. Lapho sengiphelelwe abasebenzi, ngaqaphela ukuthi i-t-shirt yami eyisipele izoba inketho enhle. Khohlwa i-P-slip, thatha enye i-T-shirt.
Inothi Lomhleli Singathanda ukuzwa kubafundi bethu ngezinye izinto abathanda ukuziphatha lapho behamba ukuze bangeze elinye izinga lenduduzo.
Ngokuphathelene nencwadi kaGreg Cornwell ethi “Oh Canada” (Traveller Letters, Meyi 21), nami ngisanda kubuya phesheya kwezilwandle futhi kufanele ngenze ukuhlolwa kwe-PCR ngaphambi kohambo lwendiza kanye nokuhlolwa kwe-PCR lapho ngifika. Kodwa-ke, yonke imiphumela itholakale futhi yagcinwa ngefomethi yedijithali, ngakho angiqondi ukuthi kungani uGreg nomkakhe bacelwa ukuba bakhafulele i-vial nsuku zonke. Ngokuqinisekile banemiphumela ocingweni? Basesekhompyutheni? Ngokuphathelene nefomu lokumemezela abagibeli be-elekthronikhi lase-Australia, selikhona izinyanga ezimbalwa futhi inkampani yethu yezindiza yangithumelela umlayezo cishe isonto ngaphambi kokuba sibuyele ekhaya isikhumbuza ukuthi siyigcwalise ku-inthanethi noma ngohlelo lokusebenza. Satshelwa ngezithiyo, futhi nakuba kwakunzima, kwakumnandi ukukwazi ukuhamba futhi.
Muva nje ngichithe iholide elilindelwe kakhulu ehhotela elikude eNtshonalanga Australia, elifinyeleleka kuphela ngomoya noma ngolwandle (ngihambe lapho ngeMelbourne, eDarwin naseKununurra). Ngeshwa, uma ngingena emaholidini, ngitholakale ngine-Covid-19. Kumelwe ngithuthwe ngendiza ngisuka ehhotela ngiye eKununurra ngendiza ephephile ye-COVID ngentengo yokuqala engu-$4810. Akukho mshwalense (wangasese, ikhadi lesikweletu, umshwalense wezempilo) ohlanganisa izindleko ezihlobene ne-COVID. Nakuba i-COVID ivame kangaka e-Australia, ingabe isipiliyoni esinjalo sokuhlala kude sikufanele ngempela ingozi?
Sibhekisela encwadini kaMichael Atkin ethi “Open the Door” (Tipometer, Meyi 29) kanye nobunzima bakhe bokuthola imbuyiselo evela ku-gotogate.com, saphendukela ekuthinteni umnyango wamakhadi esikweletu ebhange lethu futhi sadlula enkambisweni yokuthola imali ngale ndlela. Impikiswano yethu ukuthi asizange sithole izinsizakalo esizikhokhele. UGotogate uphikise lokhu, kodwa ibhange lisibuyisele imali. Ngikufisela inhlanhla, bangani.
Ngiyabonga kakhulu ngosizo lwakho, imibono, amathiphu kanye nogqozi lwakho kuleli khasi (i-Lonely Planet, isihloko semiklomelo yakho yamasonto onke, yiBhayibheli lami lokuhamba futhi alilokothi lingiphoxe). Nazi ezinye zezeluleko zami zokuhamba engizithandayo: bhukha njalo indawo yokuhlala esendaweni ephakathi ukuze ukwazi ukubuya kalula emini noma ebusuku; funda amagama ayisisekelo (inhlonipho kanye nenhlonipho) ngolimi lwezwe olivakashelayo; zijwayeze nencwadi yesiko; phatha ikheli kanye nenombolo yocingo yehhotela ohlala kulo nawe.
Ngifunde kubangani abanenkinga yokufunda futhi babhukha ku-inthanethi kuphela kuma-ejenti agunyaziwe ase-Australia. Ngihlala ngihlola i-atas.com.au ukuqinisekisa ukuthi bayakwenza lokho. Uzobe usuvikelwe ngumthetho wase-Australia ngezikweletu noma imbuyiselo.
