Default 3 years fast approachings

So I have been enjoying life to much to visit B.E, however still very greatful and fond of those on and who manage the forum(Big up to you all)

Been in Brisbane for very close to three years now.

Life is very settled, family is very happy, both have good jobs and a huuuge mortgage to boot.

Overall it feels like home nowadays and to be honest it is once of the most fulilling and rewarding decisions we ever made to come and live in this awesome place.

It just works for us in too many ways to even consider leaving.

Hope your all doing well. Those that are new to Australia, have no expectations, no comparisions to your old country and give it a "fair go"

The rest will come in time...here is to perseverance...

Lovely update. Saw your name and thought "oh, I liked him, wonder where he went?" and there you are, still in Brisbane and still making a go of it.

Long may it continue.

Congrats local buddy! Glad to hear things are still going well for you. I can still remember your 2 year update. You reminded me that I forgot to do a 3 year one for myself!
