I can do those. My specialty is hot barbecued steak
sandwiches with mushrooms, onions, cheese, bacon, lettuce,
olives, on a huge fluffy roll that could feed a Vietnamese
family for ten days.

im not sure really..i suppose they're always looking for
people in that field. the programm i went through took 5
years but it was the first program of that kind and they
quit it after our class finished - it was a really odd
study, we had classes all over various uni's - mostly
economy and biology ones, but then also medicine, physics,
maths..just didn't work out on long term i suppose. i know
there's a new program now, on a tourism uni which was
established soon after i finished and that one is apperantly
way more tourism oriented..i think it's a 4 year program and
if im not mistaken they sort of arrange you a job after you
finish aswell.

Aw, they don't invite me to those. Maybe they will if I mail
one of my sandwiches to Jedi Chris in one of those special
styrofoam coolers with dry ice they use to transport
kidneys.

I guess I should take the kidneys out first, unless he likes
that kind of thing.

yes, i like to travel but not in a usual way..i hate
that..infact while i was studying i wanted to open a sort of
tourist agency for more individualistc/smaller groups
oriented tourism...something a little bit more extreme
tourism oriented, but then i had no real choice but to work
for some company i still work for..

perhaps. that's why you have to advertise it in the right
way - find an angle that will appeal to those rich folks who
are bored and want to go to exotic locales. i'm sure there
are plenty of them. folks having a mid-life crisis and
whatnot.

going to amazonas does'nt have to be expensive though. get a
cheap ticket to brazil, go to manaus, and then fix the rest
there. no expensive connecting links. been there done that.
time of my life.

but i'm sure people with lots of money, commitments and less
flexibility would arrange everything on beforehand. and pay
alot for it..

yes, you're probably right..i'll keep that in mind :)

there's this one guy overhere who travelled all around the
world with his familly for couple of times already..and he
sometimes does a similar thing for smaller groups - like
take them to kenya for couple of weeks, and the odd thing is
that usually mostly (exclusivly) students (who don't have
much money as it is) go..

One year of community college. The past 1.75 years of my
life I've been experiencing the horror known as a full time
job.

Lately I've been feeling quite stupid and I need to go back
(and i shall) in the fall to stimulate my brain and
hopefully finish out some sort of degree in three more
years.

I like to think of myself as poor and not motivated rather
than stupid though.

Oh well.

scientific baccalauréat with "quite good" mention (and 3/10
in math... ' _ - i compensated with philosophy, english and
german), english "cambridge" diploma with B grade (if it's
worth anything : P), first year of japanese uni passed (but
i'll need to pass three to have a diploma now with the new
reform next year - unless i pass this year, which is very
unlikely)...

not much so far...
