USA Bus Lines

What websites can I use to locate someone in Perth Australia who I met on a bus tour in Vienna?

I met a guy from Perth Australia on a city bus tour in Vienna Austria on the morning of May 24 2006, we ended up sitting together. We later went for lunch and then walked around the streets taking pictures of statues, buildings, etc. When we parted, like a fool, we only shook hands when we should have exchanged e-mails (but I thought distance may be an issue - I'm from Vancouver Canada). Most people that you meet on your travels you quickly forget, but not this guy. Darn! Does anybody know of any good websites that deals with 'missed connections', or 'searching for', classified ads, etc. Any sort of advice would be greatly appreciated on how to reconnect with someone that they had met on their travels.

I better add that I only know his first name and it is quite common. I also know he works for the RAN on a frigate 6 months at a time. As you can rightly imagine the Navy are very private with personnel info.

1. If U have a name try the Perth White Pages, (telephone book) or if that fails advertise in the West Australian newspaper. www.thewest.com.au There is one other off beat avenue. The local TV channels, 7 - 9 & 10 sometimes pass on little messages during the weather show.
2. If you know his name... White Pages http://www.whitepages.com.au I believe email services like hotmail have a member name search function where you can search by location Friends Reunited (don't assume he went to school in Perth as much of Perth's population has moved there from interstate) http://www.friendsreunited.com.au Of course, if he has a common name, you've got a problem. Otherwise... YHA publishes a magazine (or used to). http://www.yha.com.au/ Lonely Planet Thorn Tree forum? http://thorntree.lonelyplanet.com/ If you know what he does for a living there might be avenues there, too. Good luck!
