forgot about lhd shit lol, nothing against mexicans or nothin, just so many here "mainly illegals" but i just wanna get out of the US and not have to do a big language change or anything. nothing against the us either, love the country but im bored and nothing seems to be happening here besides things getting worse.

We're 10 years or so behind the USA but there won't be a huge culture shock coming here.

Other bonus is it's far enough away we might survive the fallout......

 

[northwestsupra]

NW - as per Flashchat yesterday, wanting to move here is great and all, but please do your research.

You will need a visa. A working holiday visa is only for people between 18 and 30, and you can stay here for 12 months. You can apply for a second working holiday visa though once you're here.

This is a good place to start your research: http://www.immi.gov.au

You need to decide where in Aus you would like to stay. It's a big country, with alot to offer. Some areas are more expensive than others, and some have better employment opportunities.

If you want to rent, you will need a bond. It is typically 4 weeks rent to the bond board + 2 weeks rent in advance to the landlord.
(Alternative to the above is to live in a share house).

We don't have many "Mexicans", but we DO have ALOT if ethnic immigrants.

Finding a job should be easy, as long as you're not picky. There are always heaps of labouring jobs going, for pretty decent pay. (Be mindful that you will be competing with students for casual jobs like bar work, etc).

The "fun" part is up to you.
