Lol I'm in the same position, gf's parents don't speak a word of english. -
Anyone work in a bar?
You're right about sleeping patterns being stuffed but it's not the worst job in the world. Depends on what you value I suppose. -
Phuket
I spent 10 days in Phuket last year with my girlfriend and it was ok, got sick a couple of times which probably skewed my perception of the place. Didn't spend any time in Patong, only drove through there a couple of times on the motorbike. Stayed at Karon beach which was nice and quiet but I... -
Anyone work in a bar?
Oh and you must have a current RSA (Responsible service of alcohol) to legally serve alcohol. Each state requires that you have a current one that was undertaken in that particular state, so don't believe the BS that some training organisations try to tell you that their RSA is a national one... -
Anyone work in a bar?
Depends what sort of bar you work at. I started in restaurant and moved to bar, mostly just pulling beers, opening stubbies, etc., gets pretty mundane after a while. Went to the snow as a restaurant supervisor and my manager was awesome with cocktails, so I learnt a lot from him. Never worked... -
Is Emu Export the greatest beer of all time?
Put simply, No. Boag's Strongarm, now there's a great beer :thumbsu: -
Magic Mushrooms
I've had mushies a shitload of times and they're probably my favourite drug. Having said that, I don't really touch anything any more but in the past, I've taken all sorts of shit. With mushies, they are very quick to come on, unlike acid, or eccies. It'll probably take around 10 mins before... -
So Where You Off To Next?
It's awesome, you won't regret it. -
So Where You Off To Next?
Their season lasts for up to 9 months, you won't miss I assure you ;) -
So Where You Off To Next?
Went to South America last summer, was awesome and I highly recommend it. Went to NZ for 2 weeks in October with my best mate. Hired a campervan and was great fun. Heading off to SE Asia for 3 months in mid-march. I'd stay for a lot longer but I'm going back to Perisher Blue to work for the... -
Thailand: Whats the facination?
Ok I respect that. I obvisouly didn't use very subtle words when I put my opinion across before, probably due to the fact that I've been trying to convince a girl from work to try different stuff, she is incredibly high maintenance. Her and 3 other girls form work are going to Europe on a tour... -
Thailand: Whats the facination?
That's the same as every country that doesn't have the same living standards as ours. Gotta take the good with the bad really. -
Worst Airline to Fly
It's like riding a bus. They stop 3 times in a 2 hours flight, food's crap, attendants are rude, play the same movies all the time. Basically there's nothing good about it, even the pilots think they're drag racers, except my mum's magna would go faster than they take off.... -
Mailing packages when overseas
Don't see any problem with that, although I'm not really sure how the duty-free laws work with mailing such goods. If you're really curious about it then give customs a call but I can't personally see there being much of a problem with it. About the best advice I can give is, don't go through... -
Thailand: Whats the facination?
Not saying that you have to go to a third-world country to be classed as experienced, just saying that you may like to try broadening your horizons a tad more. Having a stop-over in Bombay isn't what's called 'getting the feel of a place'. You need to spend at least 2 weeks in a place to know if... -
Thailand: Whats the facination?
Ain't that the truth. Problem is that I stayed in the Cross, which has an unsavoury reputation, but I felt fine there. Went into down and there's just drunk jocks everywhere, trying to pick fights. Bogans driving around in cars, a couple of guys throwing up out the window of one. Ended up... -
Thailand: Whats the facination?
No need to get offended, just having a joke mate. Tassie is an exciting place anyway. Plenty to do if you like the outdoors, beach, surfing etc.. I must admit I don't feel very safe whenever I go to Sydney, too many jocks and bogans looking for fights in the CBD. I like Sydney and would... -
Thailand: Whats the facination?
We're talking about Thailand, not Sydney :rolleyes: Although I guess Sydney's full of Asians and Lebonese... -
Thailand: Whats the facination?
Define experience though. Spending 2+ months travelling around 4-5 different countries, seeing things you don't read about in the tourist magazines and spending a great deal of time getting to know local culture is an experience and gives you valuable experience for the next one. Going to... -
Thailand: Whats the facination?
Aahhh, the lifestyle, I miss it always :o -
Top 3 Destinations you would like to visit
1. Japan - All of it. 2. China - Specifically the Three Gorges before it gets dammed. Some pretty amazing scenery in the south too. 3. South east Asia - Everywhere in general, although I'd also like to scoot across to India. -
Top 3 Destinations you would like to visit
Been to Macchu Picchu recently but unfortunately missed out on Iguazu falls. Machu Picchu was awesome, you'll love it but make sure you definitely do the whole Inca trail though. -
Worst Airline to Fly
Noone's flown with Aerolineas Argentinas then? The Iraq War >>>>>>>>> Radiation burns from excessive amounts of DAYLIGHT >>>>>>>>>>>. More daylight >>>>>>>> getting darker but still some daylight >>>>>>>>> Aerolineas, but only because the sun went down :rolleyes: -
Thailand: Whats the facination?
You sound exactly like a girl I work with, won't stay anywhere unless it's at least 4 star accommodation on a tour. Of course, whatever floats your boat, but you are missing out on sooooooooooo much stuff it's unbelievable. SA was my first overseas trip but I've travelled around Australia a... -
Vietnam
Haven't been there yet (next year hoprefully) but I hear you can live comfortably on around USD$20 a day, according to close friends who have been there. Not much at all really. Oh and when you're travelling to places like that, it pays to think of prices in US dollars, only currency that... -
Thailand: Whats the facination?
Sounds just like South America then, the amount of dogs there is ludicrous. Also the native, homeless people aren't much behind in terms of numbers. Don't really act homeless when they're talking to locals, just when a Gringo goes past. :rolleyes: -
Thailand: Whats the facination?
Oooohhh, Kho-phan-yang... Actually never been there, Thailand's next on my itinerary though. Note for all you guys not wanting to go to Thailand: Don't ever dare going to a third-world/lesser standards country than ours then. That will exclude for you; South America (apart from Chile...
