Australia, Please

[Scorpiоn]

I've decided to go to Europe.  Australia is just too dang expensive.

Now, Germany or Britain....

Scorp, a silly thought, but why not do a short TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) course? You could then get a job almost anywhere in Europe, earn a few bob as you travel kind-of-thing. I've met a number of Americans doing just this, and they all said its great fun as you get to meet people and see places you otherwise wouldn't... Just a thought

Good idea but then we'd have another lot of Europeans speaking American instead of proper English.

Ain't that the truth. Ooops....! My goodness - they've got me doing it now. That will never do, indeed it will not!

Tropical sceneries tend to really lift my spirit, but since I'm going to Europe...

What towns would you guys suggest for a years stay?  Preferably someplace a bit more cold than the usual.  I don't like hot weather.

Why not buy a round the world ticket that will give you the opportunity to stop in a few places as you travel.

You may get home a bit quicker but if you work it right,
you'll see a lot of the world for a lot less.

ther big "b" aka berlin or hamburg or (if you like bavarians) munich or freiburg or stuttgart....

Prague. No ifs, no buts. Simply awesome! Great scenery, amazing beer, stunningly beautiful chicks!
Croatia is also great, and most people speak English, the beer is good, and again amazing women
As for Hungary, well if you're in this neck of the woods I can guarantee amazing wines, fabulous foods, beautiful babes, and you're more than welcome to stay

yes its me. i'm still alive  ;D

i'm hurting a bit but could let this post o without looking in.

part of oz is tropical - about 3 per cent - anotehr 10 per cent is temperate and the rest is desert. they call it the outback - remember!....................

the weather is good tho', 'cept melbourne, too much rain - about 25 per cent of the time it rains ther.

canberra is best. nice and cool and cold in winter.

don't know how you can get in without being a professional or badly needed tradesman or some such thing. [being a yank is minus 50 points apparently....lol j /k ]

our visitors visas are good for 6 months but don't know how difficult it is to get a work permit [ tax is 48 per cent for non residents, even if you do get one ]

it is quite easy to get into australia just make sure you got no food, plants, animals or suspect items and you will have not much trouble at all.

No, I don't live in Canberra. I'm in Sydney. but I must say, I do like it there. It's so clean and fresh. And I hate summer because I can't stand the heat.  ;D
