John, point taken but it sounds like all the examples given were employed by Oz companies ?
Don't worry tho, if labour get back in I believe one of their goals is to tax expats, like the U.S., I mean how else are they going to fund all their blunders and spending
Metro, the " excitement " I was referring to was the flying, I'll take boring old Oz over " exciting " Asia anytime, snow, typhoons, monster T/S, lousy controlling ( yes, make SYD look good ) with lousy english and frequent long delays.
Cheers
