Drumbeat

We've just returned from Sweden and I can't imagine the Swedes would be impressed with this sort of carry on Unless they were in some village in the back of beyond I would have thought they could have found a room somewhere especially at this time of year!

Bring your warm clothes, it can get very cold at night after a clear day, it was around 5C last night.

As you don’t live here I guess it’s not really an issue is it?

Do you actually have any skills to offer??

So does the Australian worker thinks members of local social clubs such as Italian Clubs, Croatian Clubs, Irish Clubs are all racist? I suspect she doesn’t understand the meaning of the term ‘rascist’

Travelling on the Northbound Hurtigruten coastal voyage in Norway (the second photo was actually yesterday)

When did you last visit? I'm trying to think if it's changed much in the last 18 years, it's certainly changed a lot in the almost 30 years that I've been here.

Yes, I think the prices have pretty steady. I certainly haven't seen any screaming bargains around.

I think that varies between State and also depending on the housing market. I've bought several houses in WA and have always paid below the asking price.

So you've been living here for 10 years?? Your first post gives the impression you've only just returned.

But surely you knew the price of houses/rents etc before you moved back?

No, there are plenty of successful people around who had a difficult childhood. It makes my blood boil when I see some innocent person whose life has been destroyed by some arsehole who uses their drug use as an excuse

I don't believe you can enter on a tourist visa with a one way ticket and I suspect Immigration have ways of finding that out.

If arriving on an International flight and then changing to a different airline I'm pretty sure you will need to clear Immigration and Customs and then transfer to the Virgin Domestic terminal. You can't usually check in for a flight more than 3 hours prior unless it's booked as a connecting flight.
