    - 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
