How?.
Everything the government and media are telling you about 'how bad it is' in the rest of the world is a lie.

What do you mean by 'living situation'?
In terms of returning to Australia, the way that the state and federal governments, and the media, have behaved in 2020 has made me less likely to return.
You guys have been sold an absolute lemon.
And here's to hoping they don't pull a 'third wave' con job on you after summer. I'm expecting that they will.

Yeah, one of those guys who doesn't have faith in the government and media. What a monster.Oh yeah, I forgot you were one of those guys
Whats the media coverage like where you are?Yeah, one of those guys who doesn't have faith in the government and media. What a monster.
I honestly don't know what you're trying to say.All good in Sweden at the moment with the approach favoured by the types above. Almost more dead in a week than the entirety "killed" by the lockdown in Victoria and the economy in the toilet.
Nah not really, things didn’t change for me all that much besides cancelling a couple of trips. Summer we could still travel domestically and whilst we are in lockdown now, it’s snowing and in the negatives everyday so I don’t do heaps anyway. I’ve been able to work the whole time too.Yeah I didn't really word that correctly, apologies. More just like, having only been out of the country for a short period of time (~2 years as opposed to a decade plus), would you prefer to be in a country like Australia during the pandemic because there are essentially no cases versus however the situation is like in your country? Or is it still pretty much life as normal over there?
Sorry, I hope you can understand what I'm trying to convey. And yeah obviously the pandemic will pass and all that. I guess I'm saying is there any envy or wish to be back home during this time, or have you sort of become detached from it all?

I will miss those wonderful Christmas markets this year though, every year i travel to Vienna, Budapest, Munich and Prague and really enjoy sampling the wine, food, beers and sometimes the snow. Been doing that for 15 years now. Lets hope next year is different and it's this mofo of a virus dies out in spring
I experienced it last year and depression is starting to kick in thinking about it now.
Definitely something I want to do again in the next few years.
Whats your favourite city for the Christmas experience?
I love Budapest! Personal choice but i have a thing for that city that makes me come back atleast twice a year.
That's a pretty good sell you have written. I was thinking about a German destination for Christmas next time but Budapest has a pretty good reputation from those that have visited in the last few years.
Germany and Netherlands is popular with Aussies, i hear so many Australians and Seppos there, it's a turn off to be honest. I go for the local experience, while many in Budapest are also foreigners, it's way less commercial than Barcelona, Amsterdam or Berlin. You get the odd AFL cap wearing bogan with a mullet even LOL. This year i wanted to visit the smaller towns/villages for the Christmas experience. Next year maybe.
You don’t go to Berlin or Munich for a local experience. Even Hamburg seems to be gaining more aussies of late

A few markets in Berlin at the outskirts are for locals (vast majority), i have been to KultureBraurei where i have found very few foreigners, it's one of my favourites in Berlin for this reason, otherrwise it's full of Aussie. I tend to avoid Gendermarkt and Mitte like a plague.
As an Aussie qualified teacher you won't have an issue getting a job most places. Would you be there long enough and dedicated enough to get into a new language?Any suggestions as to where I could move? Open to anything really.
I could go back to the UK,as I have the option to apply for an ancestry visa.
Would definitely be open to it, although I guess it is a little more daunting.As an Aussie qualified teacher you won't have an issue getting a job most places. Would you be there long enough and dedicated enough to get into a new language?
Get a CELTA etc. certification to teach English (~$3,000). Gives you more options and a full-time course only takes a month. Then it becomes a matter of where you want to travel and what options are available.I'm 27, no wife or kids, nothing really tying me down in Aus. I'm a highschool teacher and that opened the door to the UK the last time.
Anyone planning on moving overseas post covid?
