As soon as you get to Chicago, buy a wagon or 2. A few heads of oxen, some bullets, boxes of food and head west. Don’t forget extra wagon wheels and axles. You can always hunt for food near the trail but you’ll most likely only see rabbit and squirrel…but sometimes you might get a deer!

If you run out of supplies, ammo, or wagon parts, there are stores along the way that you can buy them at or you can trade for them. Be careful fording rivers with your wagon as they do tend to tip over. And try not to catch dysentery.[/quote]
YES!

fuckin lulz.

Speaking 4 languages is a big plus. mention that in any and all conversations and think of jokes to say when they tell you “say something in russian!” because they will, without question,they will ask you. It could also get you multiple girlfriends.
if you are truly fluent and not just conversational in your speech then definitely get a job that involves it, much better, sit on your ass in a nice office kind of job getting much more money.

Sorry if this offends you but its something that I picked up and noticed. This comes from alot of older European men. The accent of a European (As well as anybody that isnt American) is easy to pick up. The movement of the way they walk and the way they present themselves is far more subtle. Simply put,the way an American walks is far more different than the way a European walks…its like comparing the way a dog and cat walks.[/quote]

And this is ‘bad’?

all the europeans i have met are faggy, but that is limited to a frenchmen, a czech(the faggiest by far) and a italian(second faggiest). The frenchmen and czech were foreng exchangers in high school,and the guinea was taking german in the same class as me in college. He also smelled like roasted shit. It made me sick to be downwind of that stinky fucker.
Buy some soap, and use it.
Actually come to think of it, i met a german fellow as well, but he wasnt faggy. I also met a aussy, and a south african. They werent faggy either, but then SA and australia arent in europe so that is that.
I am not including woman as faggy because i beleive not being a man precludes one from being faggy.
anyways, why I say this is to help you out. Because something that may seem normal to you may seem faggy to us macho he-men of america. Also and more importantly, you may not realize it but you may smell like roasted assholes, or you may think roasted assholes is a pleasent smell, but in america we dont like it. We may not say anything, but we dont like faggy fuckers that smell like they bath in shit then sit in a smoker that burns shit instead of hickory to make its pleaseant smelling smoke. But then someone probably will say something, and if they do, know that they arent the only one who thinks that and you dont need to use colone or anything, just good old fashioned butt paper and washing yourself with soap.[/quote]

So many good phrases, I laughed my ass off.

The truth.[/quote]
Must be. It hurts. I agree about italians though.[/quote]

I agree with him though. The longer south you go in europe the faggier the men are. Once you come up north and see some viking blood you might actually find a man, but everything south of germany is filled with… Basically fags. And i fucking hate france and everything in it and everything that has ever been in it… Filthy country, filthy people… and fucking learn how to drive will you?

I don’t think you’ll need a car, but it (public trans.) takes getting used to; you will most likely end up in very dangerous areas at first. If you’re not a faggot, you don’t really have to worry.

Why are you “ImSkinny”? [/quote]

‘ImSkinny’ is a reference to every gym rats perpetual mind state. Somedays you look in the mirror and no matter how big still sometimes go “Man…im still skinny”.

Or if the question was more, “Why, are you?” Then no, Im not.

Do you live close to Chicago Mr. Zero?

I live IN Chicago.

I mean he was the fakest person i ever met. Although, i admire Belgium woman, (another foreign exchange student) hottest white girl i have ever seen. I wanted to 8====D~~~~ (.)(.), she gave the Belgium waffle a whole new meaning. Sometimes i wish i was Hitler, just so i can kill all the Czechs at once.

The funny thing though is that i think europeans and basically the rest of the world hates america more than america hates the rest of the world. Not saying i hate america, i really really hate your gov’t, but since you have 300 million people there isnt hard for anyone to find likeminded people there.

Btw. Scartch sweden from the viking blood. Something has made that entire country very very girly. They produce hot girls though, probably due to the femenin men.

Can’t agree more. Sweden is the most feminized country in the world probably.

Well, I don’t smell like roasted asshole…

Point taken though!

Well if it weren’t for this whole oil spill disaster in the Gulf of Mexico I would say screw Chicago. A Mediterranean dive instructor who speaks four languages and has a sense of culture would have no problem living a happy life (read: getting laid alot) down there.
Hawaii maybe? California?

I won’t try to summarize a culture on a message board, but suffice it to say, there will be a lot of variation in experiences and the perceptions thereof, so take whatever anyone tells you with a healthy dose of skepticism. You’ll do just fine here, tens of millions of immigrants have.

If you want to make more money with your experience, and you don’t mind leaving Chicago, check with the offshore oil service companies. They hire divers and pay very good money, but it’s dangerous work (see BP expolsion/leak) and would be based out of the Gulf Coast (Texas or Louisiana most likely). There may be some underwater jobs around the port in the lake in Chicago, but I don’t know about that.

Good luck to you and welcome.

Move to Australia. Seriously $9 per hour?? Here a supermarket pays $21 an hour. With your accent you would be better of getting a promo job, socializing with people meeting girls etc still getting about $19 per hour. If you go to Brisbane/Gold Cost there is alot of diving instructor jobs at the Great Barrier Reef. Sydney is by far the best city but also the most expensive. Melbourne is just cold. Big Maltese community down in Sydney and Melbourne.

rent in sydney where i live is just retarded at them moment. For a studio apartment reasonably close to the city expect maybe about $300 per week. Melbourne however is very cheap - an inner city 2 bedroom apartment can be up to $250 per week, studio apartments even cheaper

Cost of living, like rent depends on the city you go to. Sydney is more expensive. Groceries for my gf and me every week is around $80, give or take. Public transport is reasonably cheap.

We dont have any special taxes

Don’t forget those INDIRECT taxes (sales taxes, goods and services taxes, tax on fuel, electricity…)
Maybe Australia is not that bad…

What would a food bill for someone who works out look like?

Including a cheap protein powder.
Like costs of beef (minced is fine), potatoes, rice, and so on and so forth.

Basically, How much do YOU spend on food for yourselves in the US/

60

ImSkinny you’re already thinking about food cost and stuff and you haven’t even landed in America?

Calm down man and get your priorities sorted. Food expenditure should be near the bottom of you ‘information’ check list. You have to prepare and prepare good. Get a pen and paper and make a quick plan. Where are you staying exactly (i’d assume with your brother), find out how much you’ll be making (wages + assistance) in a week and offset this with living expenditure not including food.

Next find out about your area of the city; use Google for crying out loud. Find info on colleges, jobs etc.

Don’t waste your time on here. I have no idea why you’re asking us if you have much better resources in Google and YOUR BROTHER WHO LIVES IN THE CITY YOU"RE GOING TO.

Also hook me up with one of them visas.

Cheers.
