    Yeah I know the feeling. Definitely going away next summer. Does anyone know is it hard to get internships abroad, ie. USA, Canada or Europe? Anyone ever done this before? Cheers :)

    Is Toronno (Toronto) better than Vancouver?

    Internships easy enough to get.. and there are always jobs in places like Quiznos..
    A lot of my mates are on J1s as well as we all have work

    A lot of internships in the States are unpaid. I've only seen a handful of internships unpaid, then again, I haven't seen that many 'internships' advertised here.

    You have to be 21 to drink in the states and they're really strict on I.D's.

    Your best bet is probably faking a drivers license since they wouldn't know what it looks like over there, and they do accept it. Get it scanned at high quality then photoshop it. I don't know if it would be worth all the hassle though. Even in Canada you need 2 I.D's sometimes.

    House partys is the easiest way around it I think.

    90% of IDS are blacklighted, and the local ones are micro printed which you can't fake..

    I am over 21, and my license is real but is not accepted. Only US ID Cards are accepted or passports.

    Also one of my roommates is a bouncer who says that if you're obviously irish and have a US ID they get suspicious

    i decided that montauk is the place to go cos:

    ocean city: if you look at maps of it you wonder how it hasn't been flooded yet.
    cape cod: (ive been) stoney beaches, shoddy wooden holiday homes and stuck up rich ppl.
    san diego: i don't like siestas one bit.
    montauk/hamptons: p.diddy/NICE beach/lots more jobs/close to new york one of the two best cities in the usa (it doesnt look like a shanty town cos the bulildings are made of brick not wood).

    whats with americans and wooden houses?!
