Any Expats/worked overseas?

Robot, learn as much local language as possible.. The pleasenataries minimum.

 

Robot, I landed in Ireland in late Jan 2002. The Irish Punt was being converted to the 'Euro Dollar'... well, it was already well established, so I worked with a mob heading out to the banks, on behalf of Securi-Cor, to pick up the now defunct ex-currency.

Some good times mate.

 

Well, I think that depends on where you're going.
Some of those places over there are so broke the prime ministers are mugging tourists on the tarmac .

 

Thank God Thatcher is no longer one.

 

swiss franc is currently one to one with the aussie dollar, but only pay 8% income tax here and am earning double what i was in Oz...

that should start getting your interests rolling

 

Why,, that silly old moll couldn't mug a tea bag. (She fixed the Argies but)

I wonder if Khodar was in her corner & had something to do with that Falklands **** :think

 

You're supposed to go overseas not to work but to get hammered and run amok. Working there should be something which financially supports the pissing it up. This is the way it used to be when I did my 2+ years of duty in England about 20 years ago and it was the biggest learning experience of my life. Today I'm led to believe a lot of Australians go overseas to make loads of money and send it home. Well.....you're missing the point completely, you utter wankers. Don't bother coming back because you belong elsewhere :good

 

Robot, take a look on the internet. If you get a work visa for England, you'll be fine. If you're under 30?? Get the visa, make sure you got cash in the bank first. $5000-$7000

 

Nice one, where were you living? I'm teaching in Yeosu next month, can't wait :thumbsup

 

lived in London for about three years, did just about everything, mostly removals though, which was great, most londeners travel in the tube, they have no idea how they get from A to B plus you get a great idea how people over there liv e...soap dodging ****s
