Ello mate.

Fellow brit here ... moved here 6 years ago and wouldn't go back if you paid me but don't think that you won't get homesick cos you will ... and it'll be over the stupidest things,i.e chocolate doesn't taste the same and you can't buy monster munch crisps etc, etc(and they don't call crisps crisps they call 'em chips).

There will be many words that you'll say different to the locals and you'll laugh for hours at 'em because of it !! You'll also get so annoyed when you here them say soccer (football) and yet call a game that you carry the ball in your hands FOOTball !!

The biggest downside is the large quantity of people that struggle to drive between the white lines on the road, struggle to use the little stick next to the steering wheel called an indicator and cannot grasp the idea of 2 lanes merging to 1 ... we have to stop for that here !!

But on the upside ... you get beautiful weather, the majority of people are friendly and happy, the beaches are mint and the beer is cold !!

If you need any help with anything give us a shout.

Good luck with it all ... you'll love it.

Stuart
