Any Expats/worked overseas?

Lived in Japan for 10 months and worked there for 5 of those.
If you can nail down a good job, I'd highly reccomend it. In fact, even if you cant I'd still do it.

2008-09 was the best year in my life, and it had all to do with going abroad.

Go for it.

 

Worked in Ireland for 3 months (night club security and Euro exchange) and Japan for 4 1/2 months (bricklayer).

Get away Robot.. do it mate.

 

i want to take a years leave without pay and stay in england or somewhere that speaks english to do the proper europe sightseeing thing. be mad i reckon.

 

been in switzerland for 2 years now. It was good, but im reaching the end of my joys for this country, so its only a matter of time before i leave.

My recommendation is to try it, but dont expect to be gone for extremely long.

 

Where abouts in Switzerland you at mate, i've been to Lucerne and liked it there, very nice place.

 

Went to Ireland to make some cash whilst travelling... ended up there in Jan 2002.. after the economic bubble had burst. Had spent a heap in Argentina, Brazil, London, USA, Bahamas (New Years) over 10 weeks.. lived on **** all for 3 months in Dublin. Big deal.. was a 6 week holiday that lasted 5 1/2 months in total. The Aussie $$ being US$0.57.. hence I spent too much in the more expensive countries.

Typically, a few weeks aftr leaving Buenos Aires, the economy went rock bottom too, after being on par with the USA.

Japan was initially with another brickie for 6 weeks in 2000... then an invitation for April-June 2001. Took two pommy brickies with me and sent the clowns home after the first month. Spent 8 weeks finishing 1 1/2 doubles.

This is the last double in Aizu Wakamatsu, Fukushimaken province, Honshu.. Only 7,000 bricks, but reinforced with rods to prevent earthquake collapse. Could only lay 300 bricks/day. This was going to be a display home... 'Honma Home' now used it as a permanent display office.. Yeah- Im ****ing proud!!!!!!!

 

Is it meant to have a lean?

 

Its abstract.. A 'slope' to fit into society.

Arsehole..

 

Im in Zurich. Yeah Lucerne is beautiful. I will most probably go there to celebrate NYE.
