Oz is a good place to retire.But if you are looking for fast paced life then US/UK are the best options for you.

We have an almost 14 year old. Have been here almost 8 months. If you pm me, I'll give you her msn addy and you can chat to the likeminded :D She's quite happy here - although I know it was tough for her to start with. Good luck. :)

Hello, just wondering about what people get up to in these countries if you want a fast paced life? What type of activities do they do? I have been to both the US and I live in the UK now, and only a small minority of people have a fast paced life from what I gather. Yes London is busy, but that is because 8 million people live here, and unless you are part of the "A" list most people just seem to have dinner parties, go out for meals etc, just like other places in the world. Is being surrounded by throngs of people mean you have a fast paced life? I have friends in Perth who I would consider having a fast paced life, ie working hard and playing hard. I can't keep up with them.

I found Sydney to be one of the busiest, active cities I have ever been to, even more so than New York.

PS I am not trying to be critical of your statement, I am just curious.

Australia is just a fab place to live.

We had a great life in the UK but since moving here to the Gold Coast, we are having an absolute ball.

If you are thinking of moving here.......then go for it!:D

That's possibly not the most helpful post to a 14 year old you could have made. They sort of have to go where their parents go :rolleyes:

To ScottBev, Aus is fab. My 14 year old didn't want to come, but has now settled and is enjoying life again with mates all over the world. Loads of great out of school stuff to do, still have school obviously ;) but in my opinion they are just as good here as there. :D

Thanks for that, you do wonder when life is ok in the UK why you are moving, but as we thought....... Life it seems can be even better 'Down Under'!!!! ;) C x

Is oz like you see it on the telly?

Re: Is oz a good place to go..
 

Like Neighbours no, nothing like it!

Not like home & away either.

Really have to see it for yourself to judge...

Also have to consider that in such a vast country there's a lot of differences, like comparing Italy to England....

Has some very nice areas and not so nice, same with the people.

Can be heaven or hell, just depends on where you live and who you live with.... ;)

Re: Is oz a good place to go..
 

Yes and No. If you are referring to Home and Away / Neighbours, then ask yourself the question - is my current life in the UK accurately reflected by Eastenders/Coronation Street?

However there are some really good wildlife documentaries and travel programmes on some channels that more accurately depict some aspects of what some of Australia is like.

Well done for asking these types of questions though.

Hello,
I am age 15 and i am moving to oz in June/July, at first i was the same as you, i didnt think that oz would befinfit me in any way.

But then i went for 5 weeks....

And i have realised how more relaxed a life over there will be, you also have the weather and surfers and it is clean and there is loads of wildlife, the houses arent all cramped in like they are over here....

you will benifit....

Now the only thing that is keeping me over here is my friends and family...

hope that this helps....

message back if you want any more.

Its not only a fabolous places place but its a great country.Australia have its value in Europe,America,Africa,Asia and with its GDP higher than Germany and France it is regarded in top 20 GDP countries.

Australia is a rich country, where you can do whatever you like to do in terms of your career.In sydney, you must specially work hard if you want to remain as a jobless person.Australia have more employment rate, beautiful weather then Canada but Canada have some special benefits like TN1 etc. with US.United States of Canada is economical giant because of US but Australia has its own class.Australia is not so much dependant on UK as its counter part Canada is dependant on US.
