what about meeting in amal?!

[Narcissus]

I'm not being pessimistic at all, sweetheart, im being realistic. You'd have to be rich and have stupid parents to let you pay that much and travel that far at that age on your own. We're in europe, it's not that hard to get there, but from THAT far?? The world is a dangerous place, no considerate parent would send their child unescorted halfway across the world to meet a bunch of people that they've never seen before....I mean, c'mon, surely you can understand what I mean!

Sure maybe in 3 or 4 years....thats what *B* said in the first place.....

Well maybe it is not a realistic thing. But many things just happen, also non realistic things. You cannot blame Anny for trying to convince someone.

I was in Australia in 1999 and I was surprised that there were so many Europeans of young age in the middle of the outback. The red centre, that's a big bad world I can say. hehe

[Narcissus]

but Australia's is the backpacker hotspot of the world......you would expect young people to go there... Hell even I'm planning to go there next year........

[sydney]

Well, I don't see any difference between young people travelling to Australia and a young *Blond* travelling to Sweden (with or without a backpack).

Sweden is a very safe country.

But travelling to Europe just for the meeting would be a waste, unless she combines it with a long holiday... But that is *Blond's* decision.

[Anny]

yeah syd! you're totally right! so i think the best would be to make a list of people who are in priciple FOR this trip (now apart from time and money!) after that we can plan the nearer things like when we want to go and so on.

ok i'll be #1 on the list 'cause it was my idea *decent*

so this is THE LIST, i'll edit it when there are new people:

1) moi
2) syd
3) will
4) nicolas
5) my_haz

[Narcissus]

i would like to, but i dont think it would be possible for a few years.

[sydney]

You can put me on the list for now. Once every year I am in Sweden... So, when the meeting is during my holidays, I will try to come.

[Anny]

yes that's the reason i'm making this list! so i can see how many people would like to come IN PRINCIPLE! if there aren't enough i won't have to plan further... so shall i add you to the list?

[Narcissus]

you can put me down

[sydney]

me too.

[Anny]

wellcome

[*blond*]

i wouldnt be able to go, mainly coz of school and stuff, im really getting into it this year. plus the expenses yeh. i went to japan on a school trip with a friend when i was 11, dont worry, it's got nothignt o do with company. lol. and will was just defending that not everyone would be able to go, for their own personal reasons. peace people, peace!

[Narcissus]

yay I'm a defender, wooo!

[Anny]

i've edited the list now (wow! already three people on it!) anyone else??

[nicolas]

I haven't been in here for a long time, but you guys seem to be a bunch of cool people, I loved the forum from the first moment!

A meeting in Amal sounds good, so I'd be with you. But not during the months of February and March, funnily enough I'll be in Australia
