I don't regret that decision one whit

Post by: underclass on May 07, 2009, 09:14:06 PM: At the end of the year I'm going to drive my wife around the West Coast of the South Island of NZ. It's largely unpopulated and the roads aren't up to much but it's one of the most beautiful places I've ever been.

It might remind a few of you CA people of the coastline just south of the bay area.

Post by: underclass on May 07, 2009, 09:36:59 PM: The only thing is that the NZ dollar can be a weaker currency, so if you've got debt to pay off it's worth busting ass in the states for a year to reduce that to a level where renting out your house would cover the payments on your mortgage and school loans.

I sent you my email address anyway, forward me on your list of life skills and lets see what the experts (my Mother and Sister) say

I'm led to believe that's an important factor in hiring in NZ.

yes, pardon me, pardon me. i could punch him in the mouth and call him a faggot instead i guess..

the really funny thing is that i meant to type "Japan is probably cooler with you in it" and that came out instead.

Post by: mosh on May 09, 2009, 09:54:52 PM: Its the same Dell that made the journey with me in 2005 & 2007.

I havent bothered to upgrade, mostly because this machine is excellent, and will probably do me until next year.
