Not with my budget... Hong Kong, I suppose, but that's a little too close to home for me. I really want to be made uncomfortable -- nm - Hotkiss Jan 28, 22:35 19
- get a job in Iraq (like a barista in a starbucks or make sandwiches in subway) -- nm - zeitgeist for dogs Jan 28, 22:41
- i think Hong Kong would be perfect. being made uncomfortable is a romantic notion - pigby Jan 28, 22:37 17
  - hotkiss, think about how things were at first in NYC, even. - b! Jan 28, 22:43
  - It's also the only other country I've been to besides Canada. -- nm - Hotkiss Jan 28, 22:39 15
    - i know a family in Sydney who's in the market for a good au pair - pigby Jan 28, 22:46 2
      - Australia might be too close to American for my tastes. But I'll keep that in mind! -- nm - Hotkiss Jan 28, 22:48 1
        
        Australia is about as far from America as you can get! - psilotum Jan 28, 23:39
    - didn't know you've already been there. was it just a vacation? - b! Jan 28, 22:45 11
      - I went for 3 weeks with my family when I was 12. So you're saying the high price tag is worth it? Even in my home country? -- nm - Hotkiss Jan 28, 22:47 10
        
        i haven't done it myself; but, based on most experiences i've heard, i wish i had. - b! Jan 28, 22:53 3
        
        I've always imagined myself working overseas at some point. Is it not as easy as I'm thinking it is? -- nm - Hotkiss Jan 28, 22:56 2
        
        well, i do know lots of folks who have done that. knowing people in other countries is a great way to kickstart that. - b! Jan 28, 23:00
        
        people do it all the time. not hard as long as you have a job -- nm - pigby Jan 28, 22:58
        
        if i wasn't going to study in London (which would be my first choice), HK would probably be my second -- nm - pigby Jan 28, 22:49 5
        
        Anywhere using the Euro isn't looking promising right now -- nm - Hotkiss Jan 28, 22:51 4
        
        London still uses the pound and it's usually about 1.5 against the dollar (takes 1.5 dollars to buy a pound) - pigby Jan 28, 22:57 3
        
        the current exchange rate makes me well-up if i think about it. - b! Jan 28, 23:04 2
        
        you'll get there someday! -- nm - pigby Jan 28, 23:05 1
        
        well, bestill my heart. - b! Jan 28, 23:08
