Ok..go!
We've had so many decisions to make in the last few days and everything seemed to be going against us...
What have we done?!?
So the story is in point form:
Questions?!? Well, I have many...
What have we done?!?
So the story is in point form:
- I started work for GEOs on the 18th - Small children and me...hmmm...interesting.
- This place is such a shithole, Khan can't find work as there aren't any english schools here, not even a NOVA!!!.
- Last week I handed in my resignation as Khan is going insane here and I can't support both of us on the one income.
- We believe we can change the dates on our airfares so we can leave early, do Europe and go to Canada.
- Computer says no.
- We ask about paying to upgrade our tickets.
- Computer says no.
- We're stuck with no jobs in Japan, perhaps one of the most expensive (and testing) countries to live in. Joy.
- We think about moving to Tokyo and trying again.
- I have no savings.
- It's too expensive and would only be for 3 months or less(we're still going to Canada for the 07-08 season remember!)
- We look for flights direct to Vancouver to replace the ones we have already
- That would mean forgoing our $2.5k tickets we already have and the Europe jaunt
- We look at going to Korea for Summer camp
- They only want people with degrees, doesn't matter how much experience you have with kids, refugees or whatever...the piece of paper is the only thing you need...even if it is pure mathematics and you have the personality of a fricken calculator
- Settle Marika
- I extend my leaving date by 2 weeks after GEOs plead me to extend for another month and a half.
- Khan looks into WWOOFing for a couple of weeks
- We buy tickets to Thailand leaving on the 1st August, coming back to Tokyo on the 29th
- We're going to do a bike tour in Thailand (Chiang Mai) and go find a beach in Vietnam to laze on
- We're going to climb Mt Fuji on our return
- We leave Tokyo again on the 2nd August flying into Munich for 3 days
- Prague for 5 days
- Looks like we can't afford the whole Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia thing, but we're getting a month holiday in Thailand/Cambodia/Vietnam instead
- There's always next time
- 11th September, fly to Vancouver from Frankfurt
Questions?!? Well, I have many...

Shit I feel for you getting stuck, although I reckon a bike tour of thailand would be aces. Good luck with your journey.
Wow what a drama but it sounds like you've sorted it very capably as usual.Did you mean in your list that it was Sept 3 not Aug 3 that you fly to Munich?Go for it-sounds fun
Love from Gt Keppel Is!!
