I don't know how true is that. --- End quote --- So you're moving to the other side of the world and can't be bothered to do some research on Google maps and the local public transport website ? :palm: --- End quote --- The OP has plenty of company, then. Back in the days of the "Ten Pound Poms", locals marvelled about how people would fail to do the most basic research, & then whinge that things weren't like "Back Home". |

--- Quote from: mikeselectricstuff on August 03, 2017, 09:49:07 am ---Why not ship other stuff ? --- End quote --- Shipping lab-stuff just doesn't make sense. As for the rest, sure! Though, I'm not even sure what would that be. More clothes? ;D --- Quote from: mikeselectricstuff on August 03, 2017, 10:05:34 am ---So you're moving to the other side of the world and can't be bothered to do some research on Google maps and the local public transport website ? :palm: --- End quote --- I don't think transport is going to be such a problem. Besides, this kinds of things are easily solved by talking to local people :) I'm researching what I feel is most important, though! --- Quote from: vk6zgo on August 03, 2017, 11:14:07 am ---locals marvelled about how people would fail to do the most basic research, & then whinge that things weren't like "Back Home". --- End quote --- Haha! Well, if you are moving to change your life isn't the new place home? If you drop the idea of "past home", then there is no problem ;) |

I'm headed to Germany as soon as I can. --- End quote --- In Germany you really need to speak their language to socialize and live here. --- End quote --- Of course I do. I have some basics down that I've known since I was little. At this point it's more a matter of getting more advanced grammar down and mostly vocabulary. |

--- Quote from: Halcyon on August 03, 2017, 09:59:20 am ---They don't exist any more, everything is via Opal card. However if you complete 8 trips in a week, the rest of that week is half-price. (In other words to/from work Monday-Thursday, any trips made Friday-Sunday are discounted by 50%). --- End quote --- Ah, I think I might have used wrong term then ("montly") ;) I see the price of Opal card is capped per day/week etc, so it overlaps with what I was told. I think the guy is up-to-date. I'd still call it a train ticket, though! |
