Was watching one of those awful travel shows, like Getaway, for about 5 minutes last night. Normally I can’t stand these shows but this time I saw a URL for a resource I thought might be helpful:
Working Holiday Guru is a site for Aussie travellers listing all the countries that offer working holiday visas and the basic requirements needed and how to go about applying for it. Nice to have all the info in one place.
Alas I’ve only got about 5 months worth of eligibility left before I cross over into “too old” territory, but for any of you young whippersnappers out there…

Get used to that ‘too old’ sticker, they pile up after you hit 25. I’ve the ‘old guy in the club’ for ages now.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“The Old Guy” (Rock This! by Chris Rock)
When it comes to spending a life together, a woman makes up her mind quicker than a man. She goes on four good dates, and she’s already thinking, “Why are we bullshitting? What are you waiting for? A man will bullshit and wait as long as he can. He will put off the big day until he has no other choice.
Eventually he’s gotta give in. There are many, many, reasons.
Some men just don’t want be the Old Guy in the Club. You know who I’m talking about. Go into any club and there’s always one old guy, standing around, checking out the action, blinking in the strobe light, looking like he’s wishing for a slow Al Green tune instead of a dance mix. He’s trying to look cool but he’s a bit uncomfortable. He’s not really old, just a little too old to be alone in a club.
Other guys give in not because they’re ready to get married, but because they just don’t want to break up.
“Shit. Who’s gonna make my dinner and pick up my dirty socks?”
So he doesn’t settle down, he surrenders.
“All right, all right, I’ll marry your ass. Damn. Ok, just tell me the day before and I’ll be there.” Then he shrugs his shoulders and says to himself, “I guess this is it.”
“Maybe that’s why there’s so much divorce today: Because of all the times someone has said, “Okay, I guess this is it.”
