No to FFXI

[bender772]

I have done nothing productive today. Lazy, lazy lazy. I even tried playing ffxi again. Unfortunately, I got really bored. Or, is that fortunately? Without Roguebender, it just isn't the same. The character I was given had limited gear and no gil (money). I have no intention of investing any time to get back to where I was. So, I'll just

funny this is coming up. I'm giving serious thought to moving back to Hawaii. My father is even pushing for it.

I know you guys have been/lived in Germany before, but hello, why would you fly ALL the way to hawaii/new zealand when Europe is practically next door! (ok, slight exaggeration but you know what I mean).

There's got to be some countries in Europe you haven't visited that would be of interest. Spain? Denmark? Netherlands? France? (The list goes on and on). You'd save on air fares I reckon.

I know know, this is from my perspective. I think I'm just over Australia, culturally vapid that it is.

Brian wasn't talking about vacations.. but rather where we'd like to live, permanently. We both enjoy nature and the outdoors, and in Phoenix, there's just none of that. For 9 months per year, you spend all day in your air conditioned prison called apartment or house.

Hmm yeah. I personally wouldn't live in the desert, I find hot weather difficult to cope with (yes, I appreciate the irony, given I live in OZ and the continent is only getting hotter).

I don't know how people just pack up and move to another country. Then again, I've never been a big risk taker, I guess I'm cautious by nature.

Maybe one day though Derek and I will be living in the Netherlands together! (and cycling everywhere!).

It all depends on how much more money the new job in the new country has to offer. Then you consider whether the more money means a better life in the new country. If it doesn't then you are a risk taker.

You only have one life, and in reality two chances to make something of it once you leave the nest and are onn your own...or with your own family...which bring a whole new set of challenges.
