This was Captain Peter at an English Language booth. He was having this quiz with multiple answers on English, on big sized placards. There was a number of German youngsters gathering around him, trying to figure out the answers to his quizzes. I passed by, stopped, answered his 1st. quiz, CORRECTLY!. The question goes like this "What is 'mate' to the Australian slang?" Answers to choose from was "wife,friend,husband and I can't remember. I said 'friend'. Right! He then gave me another question something like "Nugmeg is related to which island? There was 5 answers to choose. I chose 'Moluccus'. Right again!Hahaha.And Captain Peter asked me do I know where 'Moluccus' is. I said the islands of Indonesia. Right and then I was asked to ring the ship's bell "Ding! ding!ding! ding! And the audience clapped their hands. Capt.Peter then asked me to wear the red pirate cap as a symbol I have 'conquered' some achievement & gave me a box of tea.

Before I leave I told him that in Malaysia where I come from, English is the 2nd.widely spoken language! :-P
