American Cadbury's tastes different too. Not as nice as UK Cadbury's I don't actually like American chocolate. By the sounds of it it might be similar to Australian chocolate. And I'm not saying I don't like American chocolate and prefer UK chocolate because I'm bias...I'm saying it because i like to consider myself a chocolate connoisseur

Australian Cadbury's is rubbish, I stopped eating a couple of years ago and now only eat Whitakkers or Lindt.

Haighs makes very nice chocolate

I'm allergic to any chocolate but according to the three chocolate obsessives in the family there is absolutely nothing wrong with chocolate in Australia. I don't think any non American considers American chocolate to be anything other than shit candy.

Most americans consider american chocolate to be made of at least 90% shit.

OP has posted similar questions in many forums on this board. I think he/she should narrow their search plans and firm up the transfer before more games of 20 questions.

Sorry, I didn't think there was a limit to how many questions you could ask? And I didn't know there was a limit to how many places a grown adult may consider moving to if there's an opportunity?

While I appreciate that you're obviously following my threads and my "games of 20 questions" very carefully, it might be worth your time not commenting on them if you can't be helpful and you only wish to be rude. Many thanks.

My advice.
Give it a go. Create some memories. But have a plan B if it is not for you. I had five years over there. Good and bad. Came home back to the UK, it will always be home. I like Australia, but it was never home. I came back to nothing here, felt very vulnerable on arrival, never again. If I ever return to Oz I will make sure I have a plan B should I not stay for good. It takes the pressure off the whole shebang.
Good luck and enjoy.

I agree with the other posters in other forums who think you are not going to move (nor, at this stage, do I think you are particularly serious).

Moving countries takes a level of dedication and commitment, sustained over a lengthy period of time, that is far greater than many people have ever given to anything in their lives. That's just the run-up period to the move . . .

You have already shown a propensity to run hot and cold towards places over fairly superficial things. This is one of the reasons the "20 questions approach" (or just tossing coins into different countries' fountains) I don't believe is conductive to you. You will be so deluged with information from a dozen different countries that you won't be able to sort through it all and will just give up, or you will find constant reasons to blow hot and cold towards particular places that you just never move.

My advice that you labeled "rude" from an earlier post still stands: Wait for your partner's transfer situation to become more clear or realistic, as that may substantially narrow your relocation options as well. Then choose two or three short-list places and do very deep research into that.

I understand your sentiment, however we haven't had a 8 page thread from a potential migrant to Australia in ages. The OP has started up a few decent debates and on that basis alone her contribution is worthwhile, in fact welcomed by most on the Australian forums.... I'm fairly sure I talk for almost everyone and more that has contributed and read those threads.

Keep it up ABD79 we're enjoying the discussions, I dont have a crystal ball and not inside your head, but the threads alone are worthwhile.

My view for many years is that AU is so expensive in terms of the real estate is that simply it is too risky for many migrants.

People need good reasons like nearby family, obsession with surf :-) and Au .75m - au1m in the bank. If a high salary lends to renting near City then try it out without burning bridges.

And we had none of that and yet... here we are.

BadgeIsBack

You've been here a while, Dreamy!

I mention those broad 'facts' as I believe it reduces the risk and common complaints.
It was also implied that if renting can be had near city and work, say, cash is less important.

I posted before I read OP's meltdown in the USA forum.

I certainly agree that debate is a vital part of the forum. However all parties need to agree to that, abide by the site rules and not engage in personal abuse of other posters.
