Final days before I travel

SunnyDub1 · 17-05-2013 02:30PM #1

Soooo not to brag or anything

but today is my last day in my dull boring job because in exactly 23 days I will be leaving to travel Asia and then onto Oz

See some of the world, then settle in Oz with the hope of finding a decent more satisfying Job and better life

Not use to having this much time off, So I thought I'd ask the people of AH what should I do with my my time off before I leave ?

Change your flight, leave tomorrow.

frank reynolds · 17-05-2013 02:32PM

Pack your bags.
Make sure your passport is in date.
party.

No1. Stop bragging
No2. Can't think of anything.

Stuff your face with fish and chips.

Anyone · 17-05-2013 02:34PM

Make a will.

Nappy · 17-05-2013 02:35PM

Go to coppers every night...

Fr_Dougal · 17-05-2013 02:35PM

Start a thread about narcissism...

Moving to the other side of the world away from friends and family wouldn't be my idea of a better life but each to their own.

Prepare to accept the idea of being an economic migrant and being looked down upon by the native population

Todd Gack · 17-05-2013 02:38PM

Is this another one of those Ireland is shit threads?

Latchy · 17-05-2013 02:41PM

Make sure you pay the fine and return that Library book '' Traveling abroad to Asia and Oz (with dreams and aspiration's ) and how to avoid the pitfalls '' .

Yakult · 17-05-2013 02:43PM

Enjoy! I hope to leave for Canada in a year or two or three. Will get there eventually!

super_furry · 17-05-2013 02:43PM

You'll be back down the local in three months boring the ****e out of everyone around with tales of Australian piss-ups and Thai ladyboy shows.

FatherLen · 17-05-2013 02:43PM

bring me back a beer koozie.

17-05-2013 02:47PM

Are there any places in Ireland you want to visit?

Newgrange, Giants Causeway that kind of thing.

Friends - most of them settle down with partners, kids and sat in every weekend trying manage their bills. It's an effort to even get them out for a coffee :rolleyes:

family - more or less in the same situation as friends expect asking me on a daily basis what I plan on doing with my life :rolleyes:

Stay here with Family & freinds, feel miserable and feel like I'm going no where in life, or see the world, meet different people who aren't so settled and who want to live a little - Somehow I think it will be a better life.
:cool:

Watch Home & Away to adjust to your new life because everyone speaks like Alf Stewart down there:

"Strewth!!"

"Stone dee flamin' crows, Ailsa!!"

"The flamin' mongrel!!"

..........uh...........

"Chuzzwazzers"?

If you have to travel to the other side of the world to find people like this then maybe you didn't look hard enough. Hope it's easier find them in Oz or you're gonna be about 16,000 miles from home in the same situation.

Peter The Pedo · 17-05-2013 02:53PM

Ring up all the people you hate and tell them you hate them.

Are you speaking from experience or are you just jealous ? :P

maybe I didn't look hard enough here but at least I'll be looking in nicer warmer weather :P

Pretty sure majority of people immigrating to oz are in similar situation as I'd find it hard to believe that anyone would leave when they have a young family, mortgage, debts, etc.

Well this was a completely necessary thread.

thanks will look into them. Will be looking to visit places to drive to and spend the day there to pass some time

jester77 · 17-05-2013 03:07PM

Learn some of the customs and lingo of the countries you are visiting and try and not be the typical ignorant tourist while there.

I moved to Vancouver a year ago, best move I ever made. Good luck with the move

Start swallowing condoms full of flour so your body can get used to passing them.

Of course it will be easier to find them, people who go there go for the lifestyle and new experiences. Everyone should try to see a bit of the world at least once if they can

...except lots of family and friends are already there.
Lots of friendships to be made too and new experiences that will never be forgotten, priceless.
Better job opportunities, better money, better climate....

I know it's a common thing to do but good idea to organize a leaving party and invite all your friends. That's what I did, good to go with a bang!

An American wake? Slightly depressing that economic emigration is such a fundamental element of our history that we have traditions surrounding it.
