trading places ...

its kind of tough to save money in australia. you make some at work, but after paying taxes and enjoying what australia has to offer, there isnt much left. unless you are an asian who continue to live and think like an asian here ....
tradesmen here make good money though. but i find it hard to talk to a tradesman to find out more. i mean ... how do you walk up to a guy in shorts and knee length white socks? and even if you did, how do you take him seriously?
