The off topic thread

I really liked Amsterdam. Not into drugs in the slightest, but the place is awesome. My friend and I hired bikes and just around anywhere for two hours. It was deadset my favourite thing I did last year when I was over there. Very unique city.

 

[glenferry23]

New York really is an extraordinary city. Just so much happening in just about every part.

 

[jod23]

I've been to

England, Scotland, Spain, France, Germany, Austria, Czech Republic, Slovenia, Italy, Slovenia, Vatican City, Holland, Belgium & Croatia.

Would go back to Europe again as I have said, but probably not for like 10 years.

And Melbourne

I totally forgot Italy in my list. Ive been to Rome, Florence and Venice in Italy. Amazing country.

Ranking them would be pretty hard.

I was born in Kowloon, lived there for the early days, not rich enough to live on Hong Kong Island or poor enough to live at New Territory

Transport system's amazing, although it is probably easier to make it efficient since it's such a small area

Lan Kwai Fong had some crazy incidents back in the day I was born, think there was a New Year's Eve where people died stomping on each other during the celebrations

Yes read about that, crazy stuff.

Had a short stay in TST a while ago, working on the island. Everyday, without fail, the trip took 12 minutes to work. Ridiculously good public transport system.

Went back for a holiday 2 years ago and was still just as good. Bangkok and Paris have very impressive systems.

There's got to be nothing better to do than travel around the world. Had an absolute blast in 2012 when I travelled Europe for 8 weeks I ended up moving to London 12 months ago just so I could be closer to Europe and travel some more. Been to the following countries so far:

Thailand, Malaysia, England, Ireland, Scotland, Malta, Spain, Portugal, France, Germany, Italy, Holland, Belgium, Austria & Croatia.

Top 5 trips:
1. Driving around the coast of Portugal & Spain for a month. Some amazing cities that you probably wouldn't normally see if you didn't do it driving like Vigo, Granada, Tarifa etc.
2. Sailing around the Croatian islands. Not on the big bogan boats but a party yacht instead. Still got to meet up with some drunk bogan lasses every few nights on the islands
3. A 4 day fesitval in a town called Werchter in Belgium which had a heap of bands that would make Groove in the Moo look like a high school fundraiser.
4. Edinburugh for New Years
5. Day-to-day living here in London. Such an amazing city to be living in there is always so much going on and being able to get to games probably once a month is just unreal!

Top 5 cities/countries:
1. Melbourne (no place like home)
2. Rome. Only spent a few days there but I'll be going back for a few days before driving down the Amalfi Coast for a week next month which should be pretty amazing
3. Malta. Amazing beaches and got to see where the family is originally from
4. Berlin. Amazing history. Such a big city for its current population that it does sometimes feel a bit dead/spaced out
5. Tarifa. Small beach town at the very south of Spain its a mix of Moroccan and Spanish culture and very very chilled out

That's the travel I've done as an "adult" travelled all over Oz with the parents as a kid everywhere except NT. A driving road trip across the Nullabor as an 11 year old was definitely eye opening!

Australia has some pretty sweet places.

One thing we take for granted is the sheer size and scale of the country and just how easy it is to go somewhere to get away from people.

People in mainland China couldn't comprehend that Australia is almost the size of China, with a total population less than Shanghai

Me too. Venice is boring. Rome was good but didn't see as much as I liked.

Oh, and I've been to Brunei

 

[jd2010]

Venice is a bucket-list 1 night city maximum. Got to do the gondola ride and thats about it. Florence is an amazing city

 

[Gak Attack]

Agree with this, wasn't as good as I expected but just a place you have to go to at least once. Rome is amazing though, as is most of Italy except Milan.

Yeah Venice is cool but only for a couple of days. Florence was super boss. Amazing place.

If you don't have the cash you have to live 5 million lightyears away from the city in Sydney, one aspect I don't like about it

As someone that commutes two hours to work each way, I can assure you that is true. Home prices in Sydney are just unbelievably, ridiculously high.

So after being unceremoniously dumped from Arsenal I went on holidays to see what would come up.

After being offered a fair few top jobs in France, Germany and Spain I have decided to accept the offer of......

Notts County in League 1!

22nd in League 1, going to -1million in debt at the end of the season.

Anyone think I can get them up this season?

I bought the editor myself.

 

[Shoei]

Havent used the Editor.

Is it easy to use? Something like $5 isn't it? I've never had a need for it so I don't know if that's good value or not.

Best $5 I have spent.

Yeah pretty easy to use.

I've never really played FM too seriously. Was thinking about getting 15 when it comes out.

You're going to have to explain all this shit to me Cruyffy! Haha

 

[Cruyff14]

Don't go Leicester and you''ll be fine.

 

[SM]

Yeah I might get FM too.

I've been playing a free online version called OSM with mates and that's great fun. Not exactly like FM because you change teams every season, but really good fun.

 

[Cruyff14]

I have spent (wasted) countless hours on FM over the years. Time disappears once you boot it up.

 

[Jatz]

Don't go Leicester and you''ll be fine.

Hahaha **** you
