Greetings from Spiderland! |

Or Australia as it's also known.
So I've decided to come back to GFF. Hooray for... no one.
I've been away from the UK since May, now living in Tropical North Queensland which is tropical weather-wise. Meaning hot. However I did manage to move to one of the two wettest places in Australia so it rains often here. And when it rains, it really does piss down. Sod the old English piddling down, here, it really fucking pisses it. But it's still about 27degrees C, and it's winter here. I've tanned more in a few weeks here than 23 years in England.
I'm not suprised so many people come here to immigrate. It's fucking fantastic. The weather's great, people are nice, less crowded (20 million people - the country itself is huge) you will NOT go hungry (in Cairns at least), you don't get the racial/religious 'tensions' you get in the UK.
Living in England my hair was falling out, I was stressed to fuckery and just plain miserable. And now I have to go back.
The great thing about living in Australia right now for me is that, now I know there's a bigger, better world out there. I fucked up at school but there's ways out of that. I can get a degree from the Open University and then travel. The reason I can't do all this in Australia is mainly because it's one of the hardest countries to get in to, any qualification for international students cost a sodding fortune and lastly, it's actually not a cheap country to live in. So far, i've found it more expensive than the north of England.
Funny thing about moving here though; my mother lives here (why I came here) and about 3 or 4 weeks after I came here she had a heart attack. Then about a week later I found I've got a pretty big gall stone. Then my step-father's mother died. Now the UK are ahead of Australia in the Olympics. Go figure. Oh, and I managed to damage both of their cars. Twice.
Oh well.
