no offence meant
No offence mate, West Coast peeps especially in LA are arrogant.. there's such a huge difference between all the states just an FYI

I'd love to go to Australia! want to see what it's like over there. I think also this year I'm going to be skipping Central day and going over to visit a mate in Argentina.

i got my visa after god knows how many months of waiting to go out there and move the perm. its temp visa till i get granted to become a citizen but it got put on hold due to my health. but thats going all good now but i need money to help me through for a bit. my mate out there said theres a job for me at his work so im sorted there too and ill live with him and his wife. which is all fine.
i do know 3 people who have gone on a 1yr visa (work visa) and not come back that was 3yrs ago. there doing really well. you can get into the system easier if ya go out there and get a job. bascially they dont want ya being a lazy arse which is fair enough.

pleased your health is on the up

Whilst out there I met loads of people that went on the 1 year working holday visa, and have never returned.. like, 5 years ago etc..

my mate got deported tho the dumb fook detained in a detention centre in paramatta, sydney

this visa you mentioned, to actually go and live there.. is this the one that is done on a points system, ie X amount of points for education, X amount for trade your in etc.. ??

They are indeed hun, but one destination is based simply on life, and the other simply on a business venture. Plenty more to consider and research hun, so i wont be popping off this week thats for sure.

Maybe, but no business = no money, no money = no life.
So sadly not as simple as you make out.

Oz or NZ really appeal but if I can get my head round the lingo I'd love to make for Japan.
Real fastasy is having a Roman Abramovich(sp) sized yacht and going anywhere I please.

Got to be Australia....

This country is fooked.....

America just has tooo many guns and toooo much paranioa for my liking.

Spain is a bit third world in some respects, Health Service etc...

Germany is fooked these days...


Quite fancy Scotland.... but there's no work....

Stu - Oz business or pleasure?

Just been to immigration today to collect my permanent residency sticker for the passport. I can now remain indefinately and apply for a passport in 2007

That was the dream 15 years ago and I made it happen so wouldnt want to live anywhere else.

Would still like to travel the US. My bro just got back from backpacking round it and sent through some fantastic pics.
