Yeh pretty much decided to start in south america. Start in argentina so I'm not that when it starts to get cold, and work my way up through to central america, then hit miami and vegas. Then fly to europe do the same thing there, some of africa, then asia and then back home to aus. Sounds like alot of fun, good experiences and a way to get a taste for what each country has to offer. Also a good way to save money (no plasma tv, no car, cheaper expenses etc). Why didn't I do this in 2005 [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

How's the nightlife??

Re: Travelling next year, where to go & advice??
 

Buenos Aires is where you need to be. I lived there for 6 months, and had a crazy time. The women are incredible. Everything is cheap (read:liquor, steak, hookers), nightlife is crazy every day, clubs stay open til 7am daily. You're pretty much always within a couple blocks of an internet cafe. The women are incredible.

Re: Travelling next year, where to go & advice??
 

Everyone who keeps saying this makes me feel like living there for a bit. Any suggestions about areas to stay?? (22, male [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]).

Internet, phones/pocket pcs, coverage help etc...
 

Ok. If I got something like a nokia 9300 would I be able to get decent enough coverage in south/central america for sportsbetting? I'm thinking it's better to just do a crazy week of poker (that'd cover 6months expenses lol) instead of playing on the road, which means I only need the net for sportsbetting. A connection from a mobile phone would be pretty convenient since I could 'work' from anywhere, and not have to worry about finding a net cafe.

Is this doable??

Re: Internet, phones/pocket pcs, coverage help etc...
 

which mobile providers are world wide? How do u plan on using your nokia 9300 when there is no mobile service, u do understand different regions have different providers? Also, get a small man purse, mainly because people love to steal, so you'll have to wear your small man purse UNDER you clothes.
