Let it be his very own epitaph ... Oh Love it!!!

you see so many posts about people being unhappy, but this is gotta be one of the quickest turnarounds.
I had heard about a Dutch migrant only got as far as the airport in Amsterdam before turning back, but im not sure about the truth in that either.

Bloody hell mate. I take it there's no point in talking you round to trying it a bit longer?
Come on, tell us what's p*ssed you off. Do you think that on looking back, maybe you didn't do enough research before you left?
This is definately a sign that you should trust your instincts from now on judging by your other posts.
Really sorry to hear that your moving back after all the hassle you went through to get there in the first place.
Shame you can't stick it out a bit longer and do all the cool stuff you dreamed of before you decide to jump on the plane.
*pearly*

A pointless post in the first place, merely because people don't give a fck that he's coming back.
They just want to know why.

Oi!! I care a **** that he's coming back and not because I want to know all the crap he's gone through before he made his decision.
Your making a very bland assumption in your post.

I gave Aus 5 months first time around and I still absolutely hated the place.
The problem was not Aus, it was me. whether you like somewhere or not is an attitude of mind. My attitude is now completely different and I now love Aus. That's just how it is. I wasn't at all ready first time, despite doing loads of research, and now I am. Funny old world...
