Stories from my travels: how they thought I am a terrorist

Sir, what are you doing? Do you have a permit to do this? Are you Australian? When did you come to Australia? How long are you going to stay? Only here, in Melbourne or you are gonna travel around? Could you come with us?

No surprise, really, when I think about i. Shooting a timelapse of the Victoria station in Melbourne for more than an hour having my hoodie on and very full small backpack.

So many times I hanged out around train stations taking pictures or shooting videos. I have been shooting timelapse videos of train station for a while, I just love to see the hustle and bustle during the rush hours - it really captures the city. It just has never occurred to me how suspicious it might look like. If I was the terrorist or (or a spy  ) I would exactly do this :-).

Well, it didn't take that long to explain. Australians are extremely friendly and open.
