If you're planning a science career, for example, the US is the ONLY place, sadly, where the opportunities are plentiful. Myself, I'd switch to arts given the current US theocratic environment. It's a long way from finished, but the signs of imperial decay are everywhere. Here's some URLs you might be interested in (esp. the third one):

or read Gibbons (http://www.ccel.org/g/gibbon/decline/home.html) and judge for yourself.

Having said that, as sixth_light points out, you can bring the experience home or take it elsewhere, like Europe. There's world class science being done in NZ, but not nearly enough money to fund what we *could* do.

As to the bugs, that's an interesting description of West Australians - I must remember that...

I suppose that makes sense. Myself planning a lazy artsy life means I cna avoid even thinking about it thankfully.

I just wish I was jumping to conclusions, but I've talked to plenty of people who've gone to various areas and such.

I love all that imperial stuff. None of its seems particularly new to me but great to realise I'm not jsut making connections to mist and fog.

I noticed similarities between the Pelopenessian War and the First World War too, at least in their causes.
