I'm thinking of doing something similar, not so much to get a licence as to be able to say that I actually went over & saw the place.
I know plenty of people who've been over, apparently the work situation over there is a little uncertain at present (I've heard of several IT people who can't get jobs in that field).
It might be an idea to ask on the Dununda forum about the current economic situation, places to go to, places to avoid etc....
