" Well, Spikeyman - What did you find? Do you think you''''ll move there? I am considering the same idea myself. I am going to be there in August 2001. I going to stick in my intro e-mail for you and anyone else that''s interested. Hope you have time to write back I love the Internet, new people and travel. Hence, I am looking to make international friends via the net. Furthermore, I am in the process of making my mind up where in the world I might relocate. Any information or insights you can offer are most welcome and invaluable to my decision making process. If you wouldn’t have chosen to receive this e-mail then please ignore it and accept my sincere apology for wasting your time. I figure - nothing ventured, nothing gained and no new friends met so I hope you are glad to receive it and respond when you can. The Places I am Considering Barbados (Been once before might have to go again soon) Costa Rica (2nd June [TOMORROW!]- 24th June) Panama City (Undecided whether to go and when, during my time in Costa Rica, if I do) Los Angeles, California, USA (24th June - 8th July) San Diego, California, USA (8th July - 17th July) Bahamas (18th July - 28th July) Southern [Greek] Cyprus (5th August - 15th August) My ideal location would: On the coast (I want to watch the sun set into the ocean) Safe Attractive Populated by friendly locals but at least part of the year also a major centre for tourists from UK, USA, Canada etc. Have, or at least be within 5 minutes drive of, the facilities of fair sized town/city (Cinemas, book shops, garages, super market etc.) Not too humid, too often. Heat I can handle but not hot & humid at the same time. (85F combined with 65%+ humidity I find most uncomfortable and wouldn’t want to face for more than a month or two. A dry 100F+ is better than that) Have access to reliable and preferably fast and un-metered usage Internet access. Have nightlife and party people I could take a variety of evening / day classes (in English preferably but not essential) in a variety of topics. Join groups, teams and societies etc. - THIS POINT IS NOT AS IMPORTANT AS THE REST BUT WOULD BE NICE I would be really grateful for: 1- Any specific suggestions of places I should visit (and avoid) within these countries 2- Comparisons between the countries on my list from those in the know & 3- Useful general information about any or all of the countries. By the way, anyone who just figures what I am up to sounds interesting and wants to chat I’d be happy to hear from you too. I going to be roaming around over the next two months (as you can see from the above) but will check my e-mail as frequently as possible at Internet cafes. Oh yeah, any locals who know where the good Internet cafes are; that would be invaluable information. Right, last thing - some brief information about me to give any kind souls out there, who want to help me out, an idea of the kind of person you are talking to and thus what sort of things are likely to concern and interest me. I recently graduated, having studied Modern History (mainly American) at Oxford University in the UK. I am 22. My ambition to is earn my living as a professional fiction writer and or screen-writer (Yes, I am aware this message hardly reflects well on that aspiration but I am tired and in a screaming rush - my plane leaves at 7am tomorrow and I haven’t packed, paid my bills or said my goodbyes yet!) My back up, life-plan (my parents would rather it was my first choice I am sure) is Law School in the USA, if the writing really doesn’t pan out voer the next 3-4 years. Interests: Fiction (Creating and absorbing it), Cinema Health and Fitness Music (particularly Dance, Reggae (Bob & Pete T still rule the roost), Dub and ‘Chill Out’ style - Morcheeba, Portishead, William Orbit, mellow Drum & Bass etc.), Intelligent, wiitty, genuine and interesting people Politics and Current Affairs (What makes the world tick, the how and why of events that affect all of us) Travel obviously - beautiful and wild people places and scenes Partying Sassy, Smart, Sexy, Elfin faced, slim and Independent minded Women Self Improvement in all spheres Technology and the Net - I am self-confessed gadget and futurist freak Skiing, Tennis, Sailing Learning - new things, interesting things, contreversial things, risque things Dogs - Well I am British, what did you expect?! Dis Likes: Racists Sexists Ludicrous Political Correctness Cheats, Liars, Thieves (I’ve met a few) (Nothing controversial so far I hope) Cats - I love them actually but they make me very, very ill - I stop breathing eventually Governments oppressing and interfering too much in the lives of people Religion, race and out-moded concepts of nation getting between people and causing hatred and death Lack of time to experience EVERYTHING in the world People who write first e-mails that are WAY too long, so I’ll stop now and hope to hear from some lovely people out there sometime soon. Look forward to chatting, Spence "
