SMALL WORLD DEPARTMENT

 A Darwin resident  in Canada  exploring the country in which his mother was born  has  had  an early memorable  experience . Flying into  the  Vancouver airport , he hailed a taxi   driven by a friendly Indian , who asked him  where he was  from.

When  he  replied   Darwin , in  the Northern Territory of Australia, the   driver responded by saying he has a brother living  there . Surprise, surprise . 

On arriving at  the drop off  point,  the  driver  took out his  phone , called   the brother in  the Darwin suburb of  Nightcliff , informed him of  the  coincidence.  

The scenic beauty of Vancouver has  impressed  the Darwin  traveller  and  he  has already  attended  a   trivia  night in a   local pub , even  been invited up  on stage .
