Sorry Boston, we did digress here (sadly you cannot spawn off a thread out of another thread... yet?!).
I wish you all the best and less excitement of the mugging kind and more of the enjoyable "wow, that's nice!" kind.
I loved travelling New Zealand and Australia!

Sorry for the YAXT donkey :( I will keep quiet now.

Having a good time buddy?

Melbourne's better than Sydney, our sponges are less absorbent.
But I think our beers cost more...

It's 530 am here in Auckland. I'm up to start packing and doing laundry.

Will have breakfast at the bakery as I hike Mt. Eden. Will also take a picture of the sunrise this morning.

Will eventually post pictures and post an itinerary.

No one wants to see pictures of your laundry.

NEVER FLY CHINESE EMIRATES.

NEVER.

Limit of 30k and 20$ kilo after.

NEVER.

I TOOK WHAT I COULD OUT OF MY BAG. BUT STILL 180. FUCK THIS AIRLINE.

With these damn costs.

Its too bad I can't just have someone else pay my food, rent, other and make believe i don't owe them a dime.

It's also too bad that I cant make up a resume even if i havent worked in basically a year.

What a shame, right?

With these damn costs.

Its too bad I can't just have someone else pay my food, rent, other and make believe i don't owe them a dime.

Uhm....you could actually do that.
Just ask Piggy about that, he knows how to get in such situations.

It's pretty simple actually:
A) Find a girl with a rich daddy and mommy
B) Try to seduce her
C) For some unlogical reason she decides to stay loyal to such a lazy bum as yourself
D) Let her pay for all your costs
E) Long live the leech :)

Is Tig really like a leech? He's more like a tapeworm, hooking onto the gut of his host, opening his mouth, and siphoning off the nutrition of his host. Also, I think leeches are part of a food chain, so they actually contribute a tiny little bit to the world.

A) Find a girl with a rich daddy and mommy

Done

B) Try to seduce her

Well I've been trying, I'm not sure it's going too well.

C) For some unlogical reason she decides to stay loyal to such a lazy bum as yourself

You're definitely "unlogical", I doubt your loyalty though :/

Um, A) is actually "be very attractive." it makes the other stages, and just about everything else, a lot easier.

Okay donkey, you know what to do now. Slice off his face and wear it like a mask.

Look at how tigers answer had nothing with intelligence or being a good person O_O

Parasite is better.

He plans to outright lie about experience/qualifications on resumes. So now we're looking for a word that has a sense of intentionally causing harm to other people.

This scene of Se7en came to mind when I see Piggy talking about himself....wonder why

What is chinese emirates pls?
Was there a geopolitical change i didnt notice?

Jobs you always can do:

Play games for money.
Play poker to earn a living. You are smart enough for that. It would work for you, but you would need experience.
Teach.
Teach them a language they dont know. A bit difficult since you only speak english.
But teaching school kids in other classes would work well too and pays enough to get around.
Work as a waiter, barman.
Yeah actually I never did that, but I am sure you could find something if you would ask around.
Work as a bouncer.
Look for an club playing alternative music. That is important since you have to expect the least dangerous clubbing folks there. Then tell them you do martial arts since your 12 birthday and you have been a bouncer in boston already. When they do employ you, act confident and hope your bluff will never be called.
Market research.
You can do market research. Its basical standing on the street, being all nice and asking for peoples time. Pays good if you are good.

Slugging.
You can always undress, put vaseline all over your body and roll around on the floor naked, pretending to be a slug. Maybe you get fed.

Fight crime.
It doesn't pay well as you are anonymous, but it's very rewarding, and you will be able to further your career as a newspaper photographer.

I think I'm going to be passed around by family for a short while. But even staying here one night I feel guilty. I don't think I've invaded his space or anything but I do not want to become the unwelcome house guest that does not leave. I would like to have employment even if it is part time locked up before I moved out though.

I'll look for restaurant/bar work probably starting tomorrow/next day. I'd like to get into an office job through a temp agency. A girl I went to college with is here and she says she's tempted by accounting positions she sees so I'll look into that as well.

I dont think I have the patience for poker, though that would be an interesting way to make a living.

I can't imagine what teaching jobs are open to americans in Australia, this isn't Asia.

I don't think I could wake up in the morning and be okay with myself as a man if I slugged my self around. But to each their own.

I owe you all pictures, you will get them in due time.

I'm off to the city this morning and will walk around for a while.

Wish me luck, I think I'll need it. I really would love to have a decent job by monday.

no worriez man, everybody gets unemployed every now and then ;)

just be this unexpected guest who cleans the house and they ll be happy to let you stay(and you could take up x's suggestion during the nights) ^_^

ps: i think everybody expects you to lie on your resume nowadays
