Title: I'm heading off
Post by: Zarts on August 04, 2011, 01:37:11 AM
Yo all FF member, Ziplock is in the house.

As many of you probably know, I am heading off overseas to (mostly) Europe until early november (a little more than 3 months).

Subsequently, I won't be around for the next few months/the remainder of the season, as well as having limited internet access, so I would like to take this opportunity to say thanks ya'll for your community + DT support this year, it's helped quite a lot, have fun and try not to fall apart without me.

And monty, if you're reading this, when I return I intend to restart my campaign to get Ziplock back :P

oh, and a huge shout out to LaHug, who's being a real champion and running my team (with instructions of course), while I am unable to.

Cheers ya'll!

Ziplock.

(or Zarts :P )

Have a great time Zippy.

Having recently returned from a quick trip overseas, it is fantastic and it is great you are taking the time to see things properly and leaving the itinerary flexible as you really don't get a sense of how everything is until you are over there.

Make sure to visit Amsterdam! It's more "liberal" laws are not going to apply to tourists from the end of this year so enjoy it while you have the chance  ;)

or is going real cheap on the holiday, hostels are pretty cheap over their. Myself personally i need to save u alot to even go for a month as im not into shared dorms/bathrooms.

Will be abit lonely on the DT board for a while

Post by: ossie85 on August 05, 2011, 07:40:33 AM

The currency at the moment makes much, much cheaper now also.

I.e. a few years ago it literally would have cost more than TWICE as much
Title: Re: I'm heading off
Post by: PowerBug on August 05, 2011, 09:43:20 AM
Wow three months is a fair while. I went for 2 months, and 1 of those was spent with family.
Title: Re: I'm heading off
Post by: hawk_88 on August 05, 2011, 12:35:39 PM
Staying at hostels + the strength of the aussie dollar at the moment, it will actually cost very little to live there once over there. The big cost is the initial flight and that doesn't change based on how long you spend over there.

The food in the supermarkets in Europe is of very high quality and cheap compared to our supermarkets. Alcohol is also considerably cheaper, both in stores and bars.
Title: Re: I'm heading off
Post by: CrowsFan on August 05, 2011, 01:51:31 PM
Yep alcohol is very cheep there. Got a bottle of vodka for only 3 euro! Although it was the most disgusing vodka I have ever had!!

Flights are reasonable ATM to Asia etc, as just seen some to Singapore dirt cheap. USA is dear due to the $ & every every one seems to be going there.

Post by: Zarts on August 06, 2011, 05:25:54 AM
well, I got sponsored by my parish to go over to this thing called world youth day, so, that's my flights + august accommodation done, then I'm heading to italy for a month where my family over  there insists that they wont let me pay for anything other than trinkets/ memorabilia, and then I have about 5 or 6 grand to last me the last month.

Anyway, I'm actually in the middle east atm (in Jordan), haven't slept in 48 hours, and have to be up at 5am in the morning- had an 8 hour stop over at dubai :'(

anyway, I'll keep you all posted, should shape up to be sweet :D

and crows, my dad did that when he was a youngun' :P

YES YES YES! RELTON ROBERTS IS A BEAST IN DT!!!
Title: Re: I'm heading off

I don't think you can get Relton in! Wasn't he 2010?

I didn't think you could trade either in. Anyways, I traded out Swan from Ben Sinclair this week because I thought Sinclair looked better and I have a gut feeling Swan will be withdrawn late and Sinclair will be in.

And of course, I didn't actually do that. But I would still love to see Benny play!
