Another unpleasant run-in

March 20, 2006

No matter how nice Tasmania is, there are occasions when you get an unpleasant reminder that there is a mildly unpleasant dark underbelly to this place. I was walking through the mall early this morning and someone tried to accost me in the middle of the street. I tried to ignore him and he racially abused me. I didn’t realise my voice would carry throughout the entire mall, which was kinda embarassing.

On the other hand, it’s nice to know I can command people’s attention when necessary.
