Great Britain is so fun. I want to move there, honestly... I do. But I don't know how!

Haha me too actually, or somewhere in Europe at least. I've wanted to move to Europe for as long as I can remember, probably because I have a huge affinity for northern European mythology and I loath the climate down here in Australia. One night I was bored so I spent hours on Google maps cruising through all the scenery in Ireland/Scotland/Scandinavia, so many open green fields and beautiful green forests.Madavascus wrote:Great Britain is so fun.

Not that Australia doesn't have it's own charm, the rain forests are amazing and the beaches are wonderful, but I hate the desert/outback which forms 90% of the continent and the hot sticky climate just isn't for me :p

Wicked Na. You should all come over then, and Na and I will organize a kingdom-wide pub crawl 
only about 405.3 miles of M6 between us...
only about 405.3 miles of M6 between us...Your head's like mine, like all our heads; big enough to contain every god and devil there ever was. Big enough to hold the weight of oceans and the turning stars. Whole universes fit in there! But what do we choose to keep in this miraculous cabinet? Little broken things, sad trinkets that we play with over and over. The world turns our key and we play the same little tune again and again and we think that tunes are all we are.

We'll finally find out whether the Scots, Brits Canadians or Aussies handle their booze better [yay]
