Do you have to pay if you study at the university? If you don't have to... then it'll probably be no problem. ^^ After leaving university I'll probably have to work a year or two before I can even THINK about visiting another country. ^^" I also want to see something if I go somewhere. :3 Although I know many people who only visit foreign countries to go to the beach. ^^"""
Considering I'm 19 and haven't left New Zealand ever, then yes, yes I am. I'm way too busy/poor at the moment, but I want to go immediately after university, provided I've managed to save enough. Don't know how long I'll go for, but I don;t want to rush it. I want to understand the places I visit, not just take a photo of a landmark and go "Look where I've been!"
Oh, so you're the kind of person who has to come around the world someday.. ^^ I've no problems just sitting here. I'm pretty occupied since August, so it's no problem for me. When I don't have anything to do I also want to see the world... but I'm not that romantic.
Romantic in the sense that it's nice to think about, but probably unrealistic. Do come here one day, but it's not the be-all-end-all in beautiful places. It's not like I can sit here and not care about the rest of the world because I'm content. There's just so much out there!
Romantic thought? Okay, perhaps I think other things are romantic... ^^ So you'll go there with your girlfriend? ^^ Hehe, I still think New Zealand is worth visiting, although I might see what you meant. (Otherwise, I'd have just seen all the beautiful landscape without thinking about it. xP) Mah, I know, I use a lot of smilies. Besides, there were only two "Oo"'s xD
Haha yeah, the Trans-Siberian Railway. It's always captivated me. Though I once heard it is potentially dangerous, like with people mugging you at stop-offs and such. It's just a romantic thought. Meh, it's okay. I'm not too pleased with it's current direction, to be honest. Seems we are going back on too many things we already had right, and no one seems to give sh*t, quite frankly. But don't let my partisan politics get in the way of coming here, it's still physically beautiful. Yeah you resorted to an unusually high number of "Oo"s in that
Going from Russia to Europe by TRAIN? O_o I suppose you'll be on the road for more than 12 hours that way. ^^" I live in the south of the country. ^^ That sounds interesting. oo One kilometre... that's quite long, especially as it's in a city. Oo New Zealand really seems to be an interesting sight. x3" Excuse me today.. I've got the feeling I can't talk properly today. ~.~"
Do you live in the North or South? Yeah it would probably cost heaps, but my goal is to reach Europe by train from Vladivostok (Russia, adjacent to the Pacific Ocean), so that would probably make it cheaper, and a lot more fun. Siberia would be wild. I think what's cool (or potentially boring) about (most) New Zealand cities is that they insist on having green spaces. Most of them are barely 100 years old, and were extensively planned when they were founded. Where I live there is this town belt of trees, in a big semi-circle around the city, and it has been made very hard to build into it, aside from roads through it, and some land granted to the hospital extension. The town belt is so noticeable, especially from up high. The buildings back up to it, then it's green for about a kilometre or so, and then the city starts again. Granted, most of it is rubbish land on the sides of hills and on a cliff, but it means it is really easy to get away from the city.
Mah, that's really a long way to go. .,. I suppose I'll never have enough money to go there. XD" It has to be really expensive... Hm, I live in a small village and there's quite much green to be seen every day, and I don't grow tired of it at all. ^^ Somehow it's even nice to see it every day. When I'm in the city I really miss all the green parts. There are a few trees there, but nothing special, unfortunately. There are even a few parks, but they look unnatural. :/ Wow, that sounds great. My father doesn't play any instruments... I totally got into it because of my mother, but it was also my brother who said that I should try playing bass. ^^
Haha yeah it would take forever. Madrid is the exact opposite side of the world from where I am at this moment, so you can imagine how long that would take from "Burmecia" Funny you say that though, I suppose living in a small country, in the second 'biggest' city (popn. 350,000 people), I'd find a large city immensley captivating. Landscapes look cool on postcards, but when you look at one outside your window everyday, it sorta gets old. Not to talk down my county, but it all looks the same. Green. Shit all of our trees have large flowers, and everything just has the same shade of green. Everywhere. A large city would be amazing. EDIT: forgot the bit about the bass. She's 20 in ten days, so since about 13/14 years. Her elder brother got her into it, but her dad played guitar in a band for a very long time (as well as the banjo!).
Currently I also play bass for fun. It's quite much fun, but for me, it's more fun to play together with others. ^^ Sadly, I don't play in a band anymore, so I have to find one again. :/ Btw. 6 years is quite much time... when did she start playing bass? :3 I think my parents meant that New Zealand had a really beautiful landscape. I only saw pictures and they only shot some of the landscape. ^^" I don't like those super-high-tech-cities, to be honest. Cities can be nice, but if you just look at.. let's say Tokyo, you think it's too much. After my parents told so many great things about New Zealand I always wanted to go there... but it's a long way, even when you go by plane. :/ I think my parents flew for... 12 hours? ^^"
Yeah bass is really sweet. My girlfriend has played for... 6 (?) years now, and while she's not in an band or anything (though she did manage a band), she says that she just plays for the fun. It just sounds so cool as well. And yes New Zealand is a very beautiful country, but it depends on one's conception of beauty. I mean we only had widespread colonisation from the 1840s, so we don't have impressive cities and architecture, or much sense of history, but we do have strong cultural traditions, and much unspoilt landscape.
Okay, let's continue our talk here instead. I've been playing bass for... 4 years now, I think. x3" I'm not that great at it, but I really enjoy playing. ^^ As for my look... blonde hair and blue eyes... that's so typical, isn't it? XD
Wow, I never would have put you there to be honest. Although you do look [insert nationality] haha. Also, how long have you played bass? It's such a rad instrument.
Hehehhee, I'll send you a PM, as I don't want everybody to know who stumbles onto your profile. xP
