"Vegemite. The only incontrovertable proof that God exists, and that he hates Australia."
Yeah, but that's earned Austrailia a spot on the list of badassess.
If you get Japan, you will have the time of your life. There is no responsibility for the high school exchange students, well the 6 monthers for sure. All you have to do is show up to school by 8 - that's it. After that, you can just talk to the girls and go to karaoke. Most of my exchangers at the last HS I was enslaved at partied a lot of the time. They came to English class because it was like being in the first grade and they'd get 100% for showing up. You'll learn a great amount of street Japanese too.
You will have Gaijin Powers beyond your wildest dreams.
In a Society in which there is no law, and in theory no compulsion, the only arbiter of behaviour is public opinion. But public opinion, because of the tremendous urge to conformity in gregarious animals, is less tolerant than any system of law. When human beings are governed by "thou shalt not", the individual can practise a certain amount of eccentricity: when they are supposedly governed by "love" or "reason", he is under continuous pressure to make him behave and think in exactly the same way as everyone else.

Well as of tonight i am in a VERY CONFUSED state...
You see , right now im awed at how stupid i am at assembling models ( yes Exorcist... )
but at the same time im awed at how good i am at assembling things Wrong yet they some how fit together.
Upon assembling another Exorcist kit , i noticed the whole platform was done wrong the first time.
So i took it apart and assemble it the "right" way...
Nightmare , its a total nightmare. The disassembled pieces are NOT staying together , i have zap a gap on every single finger + on my hand
(from the pieces falling apart )
Double system failure, valve opens, pump doesn't shut down, 20.000 liters of paper pulp over the floor, when we were nearly done cleaning... IT HAPPENED AGAIN!

That's why Japan is Number One on the list. I'm not a very religous man, hell, I'm pretty sacreligous in fact, but I've been praying alot to get into Japan.
Only 8 sponser families though, so it might be. It's also the only Asain country that really got my interest. Well, that and India. But I decided against India in favor of Russia.
And in the news relating to my friend's testicles, it is cancer. The bloodtest came back, but it's benign, so they're just gonna moniter it and see if it becomes a problem later in his life.

True dat. I've been here for ages. It's like being trapped inside Disneyland. After 6 months you want to kill. After 5 years you give up hope. After 10 it becomes "normal".
I am both selfish and chaotic. I value self-gratification and control; I want to have things my way, preferably now. At best, I'm entertaining and surprising; at worst, I'm hedonistic and violent.

Also, application for foriegn exchange is so freakin LONG!!! I've just finished filling out the preliminary application, I then have to submit it to Rotary, at which point I then have to fill out the full application, go through a series of interviews and orinetations, and possible take a test.
But it'll be worth it, to just to get the hell out of my bumfeth nowhere hometown.

Shadowbrand, unless you were bonr there, you are about as Norwegian as I am Irish. So not much. I am an Aussie. You are a Canadian. Is Canada really that bad that you need to go looking for replacement countries?
