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.

why did you move abroad out of interest?

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.

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.

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.

He's from Devonshire :(
When are WE going out for a Tayyabs?

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.

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

Yeah!
Secret bash organised by Gaz. Or facebook as you can send messages to multiple recipients. Are you a facebooker?

I can.
I didn't realise that stealing a lipstick from Boots when I was 14 would have such tremendous consequences.
