I'd like to go to India. I'd stay in hotels like, none of that middle-class backpacking shite for me.

 

Japan is top of the list currently.

 

good lad ... backpackers are a scourge on society ..

It's top of my list too, although that's more out of hope than expectation.

 

Been there 

 

nothing to add  , just thought i'd  ..oh well you get the idea :)

 

My daughter ( aged 6) wants to go there to watch a Sumo wrestling contest  ... it's a bedtime ritual that i have to fight her sumo style before she will go to sleep , complete with ritual dance before the fight begins  ....  little madam gets upset if i pick her up and carry her over the upstairs landing to her side of the "ring"  , and calls me a big hairy cheat

 

I guess you have to be there .... :blush:

Reading over some of the Indian experiences wets my appetite, it's somewhere that I've really wanted to go to, more paricularly the Western Ghats before they are mostly destroyed by the huge pressures of the monumental population. I'd like to see the culture of the place too, Indians to me often seem proud of the British heritage and I think it'll be interesting to see how they combine it with their own different lifestyles. I think Mumbai would most probably be the tourist city alongside the Ghats for visiting. Yeah it's funny when people say they want to go to a place as large as India or Africa without being anymore specific, it's like thinking the UK is like visiting the whole of Europe! Along with the Caspian Sea /North Persia region, the Amazon is perhaps in my top 3 places to go to if I was suddenly diagnosed with a terminal illness. Manaus would be an ideal location to explore the river and the flora and fauna of the region.

I've never wanted a child more than I do right this second, and I don't mean MV style either.

I was staying in hostels on my way around Europe in the summer, they were full of hippy backpackers. They are all the same, they talk endless sh*t in an airy fairy. Are they really middle class? I'd call them classless

Yeah, every other backpacker was an Aussie. No.1 thing to do for them was to get directions for the local casino, you can tell their country has a strong economy at the minute

Bloody Aussies are everywhere lately. I don't get why they leave Australia to live here, I mean, it's freezing and full of dickheads.

Most Brits that I've known emigrate there seem to come back to this country pretty disillusioned with Australia, there's more to life than beaches and sunshine I guess. Away from the few cities there it would be quite a remote place to live as well I can imagine too.

You need a squeaky clean record that excludes me from living there, not that I would want to. If the wages weren't so poor I'd happily live in Sofia though and Thessaloniki too if the job market wasn't non existant. Other than that I could see myself in a latin American country, maybe in Rio de Janiero

Ok  .. I'd happily live there if the Aussie government agreed to exterminate all the poisonous venomous.

Ohhh intriguing .. I've been asked to quote on a top secret project for Microsoft to do with health and a gadget and it's so top secret i can't be told any-more until our entire office sign a few NDA's  ...

 

I've declined anyway as they are Americans but wonder what it could be
