Small world. My friend and I was on the way to a snorkelling boat trip in Sharm El Sheik Egypt in a small coach in April when on the way the coach picked up a couple from another hotel. They caught our eyes immediately as they were quite an attractive couple. The guy was wearing a kikoy a Kenyan sarong and a bandana around his head. We said hello to make conversations and to be as welcoming as we could be. We found that they were in thier late twenty, his girlfriend 'Erika' was born to a Kenya mum and an Austrian dad.
The guy was call Manzin, he was born to a South African dad and an Austrian mum. They were both from Vienna and decided to travel and settled in Kilburn London where they had been living for a few years after graduating from university.

They both had the tickets sent to my house. The student set off a day early to stay with friends but realised as he arrived that he'd forgotten his ticket!
He rang me and I was able to locate the ticket and give it to the soldier in the hope that they'd meet up. No need to worry, as they both turned up at the same gate at the same time before they'd had a chance to arrange anything! Read more about Lucky ticket!
