Quiche with a K (Vol.3, 1982)

Content note: again this episode has some insensitive language around race.

*

I find out that Mum doesn’t know how to spell quiche...  

It’s 1982 and we’re still in Hong Kong as Mum waits for her Year 12 results to drop. She goes to Ocean Marine Park in Aberdeen and has a buffet lunch for HK$50 which is approx. AUD$7.50 so not bad at all, does LOTS of cheap shopping, haggles like a pro, buys a pink feather fan, goes dancing at Thingummy’s Disco and finally makes the journey over into the People’s Republic of China.

We chat AI and the future, my luddite desire to have an old-fashioned home phone, the merits of jubes and Mum’s discomfort at her experience of being a minority for the first time. Some random bloke called Brett arrives to stay (we looked him up he may or may not be a surgeon now, please confirm Brett), Mum gets her ears pierced and still doesn’t find THE BOOTS.


As always, listen to experience: cringe, giggles and some real-life shit.
