hahahaha mate, i wish it was such an easy decision to make but on the other hand i really want to get out of UK even if it's for a little while ... So then the conclusion would be that even though i'll be earning around 20k/month (like i said this includes the allowances) i would still be able to live good ... won't be able to save much in the time period but would be able to live good (better than UK of course) ... some pointers before i make a decision ... ugh! i wish i could add another 5k on the top of this :-P
