Yeah, I remember the No Keys thing - I had a keyring then which just had my mate's door keys and I remember thinking it was quite frightening having no keys of my own. Strange, the things that make you feel secure.

i suppose its different if you don't have your own place over here to leave .

There you go mass produce some security keys especially for migrants, make them European styled and you've cracked it. Millionaires by christmas

But you must own some keys? Car keys or your locker key from work?

The no key thing was really weird but now I have a bunch of them again. I feel like an ocker Aussie.

better tomorrow, shite the next day??
wait till you get to your last week...i felt shite one hour, great the next, sick the next...and the final two days these moods seemed to change every 10 minutes...if not more often

it all changes the minute you go through customs at the airport though...dont think i've ever felt as relieved and 'ready for it' as then - even though i could still see mum, dad, brothers, sisters and friends crying and trying to smile and wave on the other side...for me that was it - i'd made it this far and i knew for certain than that i could do the rest too...

good luck with your final weeks...you'll be here before you know it!

oh, btw, (wrong post, i know) you just go to the licensing centre and fill in the form for the license, thats it - no restrictions as far as i'm aware of (oh - i had to do an eye-test because i wear glasses - i had to read the same line of letters 4 times - first with both eyes, then with the left, then with the right, then with both eyes again - clever people those aussies...after the 2nd time you know the letters off by heart...a - c - h - w - p...)
