I'm an Australian living in Canada. Was visiting relatives here and thought I'd check on the job situation. Was offered a job plus sponsorship for a work-permit and I thought "I'll try it for 6 months"... that was 10 years ago.
We'll be moving back to Australia in the next few years - can't take the cold any more!

Timbo was working in the UK (London I think) for a while,
but he's now back in Oz.

there's enough states where often moving to a different part of the country may as well be a different planet.
different mannerisms, accents, vernacular, customs, etc.
certain parts of the country really freak me out :P |

Strangest place in the USA I've been... Burbank California 
Stangest place I've ever been... Finland. Nice, but strange! |

Hi Laurie
For those of us "Less Well Traveled".
Please tell us a bit more (why-what-when-where), maybe in a new thread.
I would be interested to know.
Or even here, it's your thread anyway. 
Regards Dr. Bob |
