    Anyone got any non-study related plans for after christmas?

    Hopefully I'll have a couple of events in store for Fringe Festival during Rag Week and an all out noise fest in Regent's House for anyone who hates their eardrums. Also planning another trip to Berlin. 2005 is looking sweet.

    J1 has never appealed to me must say. Would rather work here for a couple of months and then go away in Europe for a while

    looks like fun, sounds like a lot of money..

    Dunno what i'm up to, I may perhaps go to Germany to resurrect the last of my LC german, and perhaps to work and live for a while.

    well, in russia/mongolia and china, accomadation is dirt cheep, america will be dear, but we will only be there for a few days,

    flights will be the most exspensive part

    Indeed, that's a good price.

    I have a rival offer though - flying to Cuba, then Martinique and the French Antilles in the Caribbean, then down to Brazil, Chile and finally back to France, for about €1600, including MOST accommodation. I'm considering doing it with a group of about 7 or 8, it includes some conservation work though, but that's good experience for science students, who will make up most of the numbers.

    Inter-railing is just quality. Life changin experience.. I recommend you go mostly around eastern european countries. They are just like the western countries but cheaper and a rich post-communist culture. The real back-packer experience..

    Speaking of travel I'm just back from Brussels, man I love that city and their beer..

    Travelling is just deadly, I'd love to go to thailand this summer but there is an entire lack of money. Instead I've settled for a 3 month internship in Japan. Should be fun.
