Indeed I am, meeting many, you should join the melb / syd party :]hey joim if you're serious about this you should meet up with some of us oceanian smogoners i hear we're pretty cool
Just an update, I'm in Norway already. I found Oslo to be okay, but I'm travelling to Stavanger (for the pulpit rock)and Bergen in the next few weeks. I'm also going to iceland, since it is so near norway, which looks extremely gorgeous in pictures.The northern lights are there pretty much all the time, but they're only visible at night. In winter when skies are clear would be your best bet.
Also, the hiking trails don't necessarily close in winter. Only if there's snow (used to be almost guaranteed after mid-November, but we've had several bad winters in a row now). Then they start preparing ski tracks instead, and the forests become more crowded than ever.
As for going to the rest of Europe... well, plane is quick and convenient, but rail is way cheaper. See what you can afford. Taking the Bergen railroad in late autumn is recommended, however. Quite a scenic trip.
you're honestly always welcome over at mine (my parents') if you ever decide to visit Sydney, we have an extra bed and a granny flat too if ya ever want your own private sanctuary!I have always had the childish dream of wanted to see "everything". I've spend a good amount of time setting up a lifestyle and gaining a skillset so that this is possible. My method of artistic expression is photography, so maybe I'll make a thread to share some snaps. Of course, "everything" includes the highest and the lowest and the hottest and coldest...and those sorts of places involve far more intense training than I have gone through so far. I've been chipping away at that, but I'm nowhere near done yet. Hopefully, it'll all come to fruition soon.
I've talked to a number of people on IRC about visiting when the time comes. Maybe we should have smogon couchsurfing-style situation? Seems a lot of people here are pressed on funds rather than time.
Hey Lee, where's the first photo btw? In case I can ever make it back to visit the UK... (New Zealand being closer to JPN, lol).re: New Zealand...it's a beautiful country with wonderfully friendly people but it annoys me how it has become such a fashionable destination for UK tourists given that it's like 50,000 light years away and costs about a thousand quid just to get on the plane. These same people who claim to be Christopher fucking McCandless reborn but look blankly when you mention any of the wilder areas of their native UK.
Let's play a game. No cheating and looking at the URLs because if you do that you're a cunt. 6 pictures in the hide box...which are the UK and which are NZ?
I lied. They're all UK. Could've saved yourself a grand mate.
I live in Brazil. If you want to visit it for those reasons I'd say COME QUICK! YOU WON'T REGRET!!!Brazil, of course, because the people are friendly and sexy and the weather is amazing.
Brasil, claro, porq o povo eh bem amigavel e gostoso e a clima eh mt boa.
I'M FROM NEW ZEALAND, DUMBASSI'd love to visit Australia. Seeing kangaroos would be pretty cool, and in general not being in freezing cold Canada would be nice. I'd get to see actual wildlife and shit, and tropical area in genwral I could also practice surfing, I did really poorly in Florida. It's not as much like boarding as people say lol.
O and I could meet up with Zangooser thelinearcurve and baconbagon (I think ur from aussieland bacon). We could probably push zangooser into some kangaroo shit or something. Fun times.
