I'm not scared of it
I just don't particularly want to do it. I don't think I will learn anything about myself, or find myself. I don't feel I need the experience of having done it, and the place I would like to see I will get round to at some point

When I lived overseas,
I learned so much about myself and my own country.
I didn't find myself though, because I was lost and drunk most of the time.
( thealternativefact, Thu 19 Nov 2009, 11:41, Reply)

I know myself pretty well already
I suspect that living overseas would be different as the actual travelling part would be minimal and restricted to before and after with long stretches of not doing it in the middle. Still don't think I'd like it though. I know myself well enough for that.

I loved living in Sydney
and I met my future wife too, which worked out well.

Sydney is lovely.
Almost as lovely as Mrs Al.
( thealternativefact, Thu 19 Nov 2009, 11:49, Reply)

almost as lovely?
*quickly* Yes! yes, definitely. Mrs al is definitely more lovely than Sydney *looks away wistfully* yeah *said in a sad tone*

Yeh, that's how I felt before I moved.
And I travelled more when I lived abroad than at any other time. Being so close to Korea, Vietnam, Australia, NZ and Hong Kong was too good an opportunity to pass up.
But not everyone likes to travel and that's fine.
( thealternativefact, Thu 19 Nov 2009, 11:45, Reply)

why did you move abroad out of interest?

( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Thu 19 Nov 2009, 11:51, Reply)

Well,
I had no ties and I wanted to experience living in another country and I figured if I was going to do it, I may as well do it properly so I moved to Japan to teach English. Best decision ever. I can't even describe how amazing it was. I had no idea it would affect me as much as it did.

Well, that's what she says now
but see below for the real answer

that's awesome

I don't judge people beause they haven't/don't like to travel though.
I judge them for all sorts of other reasons, but not that.
( thealternativefact, Thu 19 Nov 2009, 11:58, Reply)

I judge Vipros
for being smug and for not coming to London to see us and take him out for a Tayyabs. The fact that he is boring and doesn't want to go anywhere fun doesn't change my opinion of him at all.
(Bazongaloid, Thu 19 Nov 2009, 11:59, Reply)

He's from Devonshire :(
When are WE going out for a Tayyabs?
( thealternativefact, Thu 19 Nov 2009, 12:01, Reply)

Let me check my diary

(Bazongaloid, Thu 19 Nov 2009, 12:05, Reply)

are you coming to the easter bash?

( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Thu 19 Nov 2009, 12:15, Reply)

Possibly
but more likely not, I'm saving for a wedding and travelling on a bank holiday fills me with a kind of terror normally only experienced by toddlers in Harringay.

Also, London is really nice on bank holidays as everyone else fucks off.
(Bazongaloid, Thu 19 Nov 2009, 12:21, Reply)

fair enough
as I said below though, I do intend to come to london, possibly not for a particular bash, but to meet a select group of worthies
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Thu 19 Nov 2009, 12:25, Reply)

Yeah!
Secret bash organised by Gaz. Or facebook as you can send messages to multiple recipients. Are you a facebooker?
(Bazongaloid, Thu 19 Nov 2009, 12:30, Reply)

I am indeed
see if you can stalk me
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Thu 19 Nov 2009, 12:32, Reply)

right you cunts
as soon as I am able* I am going to come to London and do these things. I talk to you bastards more than most of my mates these days, so it's only fair that you get to bask in the glow of my awesomeness

There was a legal reason that she can't actually go into

I can.
I didn't realise that stealing a lipstick from Boots when I was 14 would have such tremendous consequences.
( thealternativefact, Thu 19 Nov 2009, 11:56, Reply)

I agree with this statement word for word, Vipros.
Have some validation from me.
I fancy New York at some point. I fancy Florence/Venice/Rome at some point. I'm not in a desperate hurry though.
I like Cumbria and Wales very much.
I'll go anywhere so see people I want to see and it might be fun.
I am not lacking as a person just because I've not left Europe and I've not come back from Thailand with a wooden frog and hair-wraps.

I love parts of this country
I've been to a lot of it, and my two favourite, most beautiful places are close to where I live. I recall telling someone about them and they were like "well, your favourite places in this country right?"

I had to stop myself stamping on their face.
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Thu 19 Nov 2009, 11:54, Reply)

Well, they are your favourite places that you've been to.
My favourite place used to be going to the Dordonge(sp?) on holiday, but now, having been there, it's Sydney, walking over the Harbour Bridge after you've just eaten waffles and bacon at Garfish in Kirribilli.
(Bazongaloid, Thu 19 Nov 2009, 11:55, Reply)

yeah
but the implication was that they were inferior to other places because they were in this country
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Thu 19 Nov 2009, 11:56, Reply)

The Dordonge?
That sounds like a great place to go.
( thealternativefact, Thu 19 Nov 2009, 11:59, Reply)

Sounds rude

Precisely.
Come on Roots, let's go.

I hope they sell rock with Dordonge written through it
I'll be buying their whole stock

I hope they don't just do pink mint rock
I hope they also do humbug rock.
