A life on the edge...

[Kadagar_AV]

Quick update as I am about to go get my hair cut.

MRD, I can write down the rates here, official and unofficial, but I wont have time till later. About world economy, it is actually quite interesting here. Good question, I will go into depth about that later, as it has affected us in different ways than I think most would expect. Way easier for me to get a job, as an example. More tonight.

Fisherking, I wont disclose my location more than Austria. I will probably write some stuff that could offend people around me.

Kralizec, well, my life is mine. I was utterly depressed in Sweden living the ""normal" life there. I need the atmosphere that I have only found here, to make MY life worthwhile. Don't get me wrong, I am sure living on ~1500€ + tips isn't for everyone in their early thirties (as I am), but hey, if it floats my boat..

Here, I wake up with a big smile, excited about what the day will hold. What more can you expect from life, really?

I think it's great that you made this decision. Most people would simply stick to their current (boring) lives for a variety of reasons. You just brushed all of that aside and decided to go for what Kadagar_AV wants in live. And since you don't have a wife or kids (not that you know of... ), why wouldn't you leave Sweden and go chase your dreams? Who knows, perhaps within this and a few years, you have your own ski school, just like some of your former colleagues, a good Austrian wife who found a way to tame you and put you on a leash and a baby with 7 pairs of skis.
