    Good luck!

    All I can say is, best to make a move now while you are young. If you wait it'll never happen. I passed on a few chances like this that I regret, but now I have a family and it makes things like this much harder.

    Also, I am interested in your Yaris. Get some pics of the other wheels up when you can. I'll be in touch if I can make it happen.

    I hope everything works out for you.

    EXACTLY! I don't mean to point out your past regrets, but that's exactly the thing I'm trying to avoid. I'm sure your family makes you happy now though.

    I should have new Yaris pics up before the end of the week, and thanks for the words.

    Who knows man? I guess I'm just tired of life. I don't know why though. I have a great family, a loving girlfriend, a good paying job, and every creature comfort I could want. I'm just sick of it. Maybe I'm going to find myself or something. My mother thinks I'm going to find God. She just doesn't know that I don't plan on coming back. So, who knows? A search for love and adventure? Self-reflection? Maybe something else? I'll know it when I find it.

    But really man.. Good luck. I've thought many times that I wanted to just ditch everything and just start my own new life somewhere else. But then I realized how hard you have to work. Look at the spanish immigrants.. look at how hard they work. Look at how hard most chinese and japanese people work just to be over here. This is apparently the best place to be. But I guess that's just a matter of opinion. It's really not that easy to start in another country. Not only are you having to learn the new language and styles. You have to work your ass off at something that you've probably never done before. But if it's really worth it to you.. then do it. I've love to move to the UK sometime or Australia or some place that's just different. I don't know what you have going on. But I have to give it to ya... Good luck and I really wish you the best of times. I'll donate to your cause.

    Uhh.... the average work day may be 10+ hours in Japan, but they usually don't work but for 5 or so hours a day.

    That's man, but no buses or trains on this trip if at all possible.

    Guys, don't bash my girlfriend. She loves me very much and I love her too. She said supports me in whatever decision I make and that she'll do anything to help me, even if it means that I leave here for good. If that's not love, I don't know what is. It just doesn't seem right to take things from her and then just be "Well thanks, I off to find a new life now. Goodbye!" I think she understands that, but we've still got a lot to talk about.

    Also, to Annihilation, the goal is to be gone by the end of the year. I'm pressing everything I can to be gone by May or June so that I can beat the coming winter. In terms of my girlfriend; she may very well leave me and, to be honest, I really can't blame her after considering what I'm doing. I may even be forced to break up with her now to keep from dragging her around with me to what could be an inevitably ending relationship. That's hard to do, considering how much I care about her. I don't know man. I just don't think it's fair to keep telling her that everything will be alright and that I'll always be here when in my heart, I'd really rather be doing what I dream about.

    Maybe what I'm doing is stupid and is the worst mistake I'll ever make in my life. I mean, I could give up everything and become stranded over there should worse come to worst. Still, life is about taking chances. Yeah, I know that this is a big gamble. Yet I see it this way; all my material things can be sold and bought back later, but I only get one swing at life. Might as well swing hard.

    no offense but at her age, i doubt she really has a solid grasp of what that is...i could be wrong, but all statistics and prior experience (both w/myself and others) are on my side.

    Point taken, but after being with her this long, knowing her habits and goals, I'm pretty sure she knows.

    Aren't you a little young to be going thru a mid-life crisis?

    If you're serious about doing this, save the attention whoring and go work at McDonalds, save your pennies, stop making car payments (since credit won't matter in another country), start walking to work and leave the internet begging alone.

    Sorry if I seem a little numb to your situation, but if you wanted a way out, IA wouldn't be the place to start.

    lolol, i've said/thought those very things myself at one point. fact is, ppl change, and they have a much greater tendency to do so when they're young (ie, pre-25ish). don't forget that

    1) Attention whoring? Maybe a little. I don't know man, it was just bugging the sh*t out me that night and I wanted to get it out. If people want info on the situation then I give it to them. If they want to blow it off, then that's fine too.

    2)I manage an online company for good pay. I AM saving my penies.

    3) My Yaris is up for sale and I have a buddy who's going to sell me a car for $1000 once it's gone. Check the Cars For Sale sections.

    4) Work is about 25 miles away and then I have college. Walking isn't really an option, otherwise I would.

    5) Internet begging? I'm not begging for sh*t. I've put my car and a lot of my other personal stuff for sale for this trip. I put the paypal up there as an option, should anyone care to donate. If not, that's fine with me. Truth be told, I don't expect anyone to give me anything but it doesn't hurt to throw it out there.

    It's cool man and everybody is going to perceive it a different way. I'm not looking at IA for a way out, other than trying to sell some of my stuff and maybe talk about it some. I've gotten some great advice and a lot of inquiries on both my garage sale and my car sale thread. Is IA the Dr.Phil or Know-All place to go to when it comes to things like this? No, not really, but this is kind of an internet home for me.

    I hear ya.

    Why not quit school, and default on your car loan if you want to leave though? That won't matter in any other country and instead of going to school, you can pick up another job.

    I don't think the immigrants that come from Asia and Mexico go on Importe Mexico to ask for advice when coming to our country to find work. Just a thought, lol.

    Good luck though. If you do end up going thru with it, I'll be impressed. Takes a lot of balls to do give up on something you've always known and start from scratch in a foreign land.

    My father pays for my college, so to quit after he's paid for it isn't really fair. Not to mention that this is my last semester at GPC.

    Default on a car loan? I'd rather not. Again, I may actually wind up having to come back to the states so coming back to some horrendous credit would not be good.

    I'm also currently looking for some weekend work. Whether it be an actual job or just little things like lawnwork or something.

    Thanks man. While I'm really looking forward to starting over, I'd still like to leave with a clean slate here.
