You simply can't beat London :D

I like London. There are plenty of things to do, it's quite cosmopolitan and lot's of culture. Very pricey, though. I'm really considering moving down to London after I finish my time in Glasgow.

Hard lines. Computers: :hehe:

You'll like Glasgow, though. It's not as pretty as Edinburgh, but it's far better as a place to live and work in.

I got hit in London. I've never been back.

There are some very nice areas, though. I'd visit those again. :)

We have Subway's in Sydney as well. Both restaurant and railway types. :wink:

We have one of the worst railway networks in the world, not for child abductions, but for just service. It's pathetic. But what's even worse is our roads.

The New South Wales government has made it virtually impossible for me to get my license. I live on my own, I'm 18, and on an award wage. I don't have parents who can drive me around and get the hours. Learner drivers now have to do 150 hours. As a learner I have to always have a qualified driver sitting in the front passenger seat. No one in my family drives.

So what I have to do is: buy a car, and then borrow a friend for more than tree hours a week (a very self-sacrificing friend), or pay $60 per hour for an instructor. $60 x 150 hours = $9000 AU. Plus a car and insurance I'm looking at around $12,000 from my $20,000 salary.

But, now I've heard there's talk about the government putting the hours up to 250 hours of learner driving with a qualified driver in the front seat. But, they are also planning to make it so that there's only a qualified driving instructor there! So no learners can learn off their parents. Hence I'd be looking at $60 x 250 hours = $15,000AU plus a car, so $18,000 out of a $20,000 salary.

My only three options are:

1. Start driving now, and become the most demanding friend in history.
2. Start driving now, with a driving instructor only.
3. Put it off, and pay 90% of my annual salary in future (Although I'd probably get a pay rise in future.)

Do you have any of these problems in the other states, Bud and Kiki?

Sounds like Switzerland. I never got a car license there, only a motorcycle one which is much cheaper.

Yeah, I'm looking at getting a motorcycle license. I can jump right on it with my L-plate, and don't have to worry about having another rider with me. (It's illegal, until you've had your full license for 2 years.)

But, I'm looking at being married by the time I'm 25, and before that stage, I need to have a car. :blush:

Okay, yes it's lame to plan a wedding in 7 years. But that sounds like the perfect time. It's when the P-A-R-T-Ying stops. :yes:

And 30 is too old. Yuk! I'd hate to be 30. :twisted:
