sois Posted May 14, 2008 Report Share Posted May 14, 2008 Hi all, I will need Bengals fans in Vegas to hang out with. Anyone live there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
|Elflocko| Posted May 14, 2008 Report Share Posted May 14, 2008 Been here for 10 years (though tossing around the idea of moving to Australia). Let me know if you need information about where to live, eat, hang out, etc. Feel free to send me a PM too if you feel like it. Just curious, what brings you out this way? Job? Family? Curiosity? Just said "fuck it, I'm moving to Vegas"? (That's how we ended up here). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That, and I'm pretty sure that the US is headed for a full-blown depression and geeks are in high demand down there, particularly in the medical industry...

Funny thing is that all of these weird things keep popping up in regard to Australia. My wife is interviewing for a new job tomorrow with a huge multi-national company who's 2 main offices are in the US (Seattle) and Melbourne. The weirdest one was our exchange student's mother's best friend has two sons who also spent exchange years abroad. One of them is still in AU as he's going to University there and is banging an Australian chick (wonder which one kept him there...). Her father owns a company, and when our exchange student's friend told him I work in IT and was thinking about moving there said "I'll hire him". I wonder if someone is trying to tell us something...

The locals are already calling it winter because it's not in the 80s anymore Was about 70 yesterday and today. It's been mid-upper 60s the last few weeks. Lows to about 50 or so. Really not bad at all. From what I understand, there isn't much if any snowfall in these parts. Seems like it should be an ideal winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
