    my step-daughter came to live with us in Perth when she was 9.
    She got a good education (she's 20 now - going to Uni). And I'm glad about that and very proud of her - it wasn't easy coming out of a shit thai school system.
    She is an aussie now - sometimes a bit too aussie.
    She loves LOS but doesn't want to go back there to live - she's fluent thai speaker (of course) but losing the writing ability. Her mum probably thinks shes losing her culture - but wifey has thrived too - job, car, house heaps of friends etc - somewhat ambivalent about living in LOS again.

    Miner in Perth - will you get to see the kids? - on a fifo roster? - they grow up bladdy quick - and then you miss them...

    When i think of Oz I think of the Gold Coast, beautiful weather, women, beaches and Looper fucking eight times in a day.

    When someone then mentions Perth, Oz I think of moustachioed Silom frequenting Ocker firemen, aborigines, supers,Coopers home brew, ganja, blurters and dogging road trips in a customised 1980's pick up truck come mobile home.

    Fuck that shit bro

    I've not been to many places like most of you...but Perth down to the Margaret River wine country is pretty fookin' awesome. If I was a commonwealth citizen, that's exactly were I'd be now, despite the fact of the relative IQ of the retired firemen down there.

    Get that primo gaff you have rented out via some property management firm first. Whilst that is being done spend the bucks and go back for a month with the family and see just what its like. If you like it the worlds your oyster if not you aint signed nothing yet.

    Better schools, free top notch health care for all on the good side. Not is SEA which is home on the bad. Wish you the best mate.

    On a side note, so at age eighteen after working in my pops shop doing all things solar I was forced out by his partner when he sold his half.

    I worked under a few, as I was the Apprentice, tradesmen. One bloke, I'll call him that for lack of a better term was an electrician from Jamaica.
    Now you have to think about that for just a second. Yea they have those over there. Really, I shit you not.
    But imagine this. We are working on a machine as the man says, get me a ammer man.

    I must have been looking stupid as I had no idea what the hell he wanted.

    He says again looking into my eyes, get me a ammor man.

    I'm confused as he is getting impatient. Ammor man a ammor!

    I figured it out eventually, he wanted a ball peen hammer to set a bank of cards in place in this machine.

    The moral is, and he was good and we made the machine produce, the Jamaican bobsled team has never won a race.

    Just my two bits...

    the fish.

    BLD, I was in almost exactly the same position as you a few years ago - about the same age, same line of business, two kids (both boys, two years apart in age).

    The boys were going to an international school in Thailand using an American curriculum and I was not too happy with the results. I had plenty of work on then and had lost most ties with Australia and could not get away anyway.
    I eventually sent them to boarding school in Australia for their secondary education.

    They came home to Thailand every vacation - so 4 times a year. The main things they learned, as near as I could make out, were drinking beer and playing rugby. The big advantage out of it was complete fluency in language as I thought that would guarantee them a job on expat wages if they decided to come back to Thailand. I selected a school in a city where I had a brother living and they were able to hang out at his place on weekends during term.

    One of them eventually did an apprenticeship as a sparky and is getting good wages working at coal mines, currently in the Bowen Basin.

    The other one joined the Australian navy for a 6 year hitch which also included an apprenticeship. He returned to Thailand and now has FIFO job in Lao, rotating out of Chiang Mai.

    I am only mentioning this as another option for you to consider. It wouldn't work for everybody but my blokes actually enjoyed boarding school (on the Gold Coast, who wouldn't?). It was a hell of a financial load for me but it seems to have worked out in the end.

    Our representative may be in class at the moment but he's sure to get back to you.

    Slightly ironic how they use Latin for a school just over 100 years old but does lend a certain credibility.

    Your kids are your legacy to the world.
    What do you see them doing in 10 years time?
    More options in Oz for you and yours, give it a go on a trial for a year and see how things pan out.
    All the best with it all.

    Yer, fook these shit stains that wanna smash teary eh. I fart and shit bullets in their general direction.

    But fook it, Asia as a cashed up mental fooker is fookin tops and thats only because the cashed up fuker can leave anytime. Fat Tefling fuks living on fumes like Topper and other peasants are doomed to live their pathetic lives out in misery. My handsome self loves Lieland simply because i can fook right orf at anytime and leave the Brain dead Thai retards far behind.

    Complete and utter fuking idiots they are and thats being very generous. Corrupt lying filth who consider that ripping off white fuks is a giggle. Born and breed into them it is. That said , if i had smashed out some breathing eating and shitting machine's I'd be out of Asia in a flash and straight back to Perth where to little koonts could be properly educated and grow up to be proper people able to use their fookin brain and sort through shit.

    Asia is a great place to be single and flush with cash but to raise ya kids Perth is the only place to be. It's a no brainer mate. Get the crew out of that fookin shitter eh.

    Myself can't wait to get back to Thailand, thats because I'm a cashed up single fuk and don't have to worry about stinky little expensive fookers. We all make our choices eh.

    Regards mine work, it's goin off, plenty around and payin a good wedge . Good luck eh.

    More to that, a decent public school in Perth will be the equivalent of a fookin stupidly expensive Private school in shitter land. Further more the kids are being raised and surrounded by people who are not influenced by the fukwittery that is the norm in Thailand.

    Thailand is completely fuked if ya want ya kids to excel or even just grow up as normal fukin humans. You're in Lao but same same i imagine .

    The down side is your life will be boring as fuk compared to living is Asia. True story Bra but thats how it rolls if ya punch kids out.

    All the best eh.

    On the school front. I meant to say this. A free public school in a good area in Perth will be on par with a Private school in shitterland that sets punterz back a massive wedge.

    Yer, fuk raisin kids in Lieland, lieland is bet left to fat tefling fuks like Topper innit eh.

    The place is fooked but i like it. No kids, fookin brillant.
