Re: Cor...green eyed monsters out!!!
Well said that woman!!
I think most people assume that because you dislike living here, you must be a social misfit, academically challenged, possess limited life skills, be utterly ignorant and devoid of any logical thought patterns! I would argue we are the complete anti-thesis of those traits, and that we require a little more mental stimulation than the big houses, the beach and never ending round of barbi's to float our boats, wouldn't you?!!

Re: Cor...green eyed monsters out!!!
Do you qualify for the two year citizenship, or will it be longer?
The 'No Soul' bit is so accurate. If you take away the big house, the beaches and the weather....what's left underneath it all? Nothing in my opinion. It is a bland, dull place lacking in diversity and character.

I went to an Enjo night once, which ended up in me doing the splitz and being in agony for a week.It was a good night....as far as I can I remember.

Re: Cor...green eyed monsters out!!!
Yes we do qualify for the two year rule as we've been here 18 months now, but I have heard it can take up to 6 months to actually get the citizenship. If I had my way I'd be off home now but it's not just about me, I've got the rest of the family to consider. The trouble is, I am picking fault in everything here now, everything irritates me about the place, and I know I shouldn't be like that but I just can't help it. The one thing I am glad about, is that I am 100% sure that I want to go home, I've got no doubts about that whatsoever.

Yes it can take a while for the appointment for the interview but you can book in advance, we did. Go online and you will be able to see all the forms etc and you can complete them and you will get an appointment for when you've been here two years. Kath has managed to get a private ceremony too I think. She isn't waiting for the big ceremony which can take months.

Yes, we are now officially Dual Nationals!! We booked our ceremony when we'd been here about 21 months I think. And then we had to wait 6 months for the interview. So if I were you I'd book the thing asap as I know there's a long waiting list for appointments.
