great post and mirroring my thoughts exactly
we who play poker for a living are able to earn many times more money than regular people, whilst being free to do what the **** we want at any time and travel anywhere
those who aren't doing this are severly wasting their lives
my plan is to play poker for 5ish years, earn a shedload of money, and living in england 6 months a year, and travelling around the world the other 6 months of the year. (winter isn't pleasant in england
)
i am 23 atm, by the time i am 30 i will have seen just about every part of the world, experienced everything i have ever wanted to do, be a rich man who could potentially live only off the property he has accumalted over the last 7 years.....
how many 30 year olds can say that nowadays

Good stuff. I agree that 1 year would be awesome in another country.
During a cold weather training in the Marine Corps I got to spend some time in Harstad Norway on liberty. Just the limited time there opened up my eyes a little. Couple things from one of my trips to a mall in Norway that I found cool:
1. My friends and I were sitting at a table having some food in the mall talking about these women at a table next to us. They were talking in Norwegian and we didnt think nothing about it. Needless to say my buddies (not me of course) were crossing the line regarding their comments about their looks etc and what they would too with them, and finally one of them walks over as they were getting up to leave their table. She tells us that we ought to know before we get in trouble that English is a required 2nd language for all students in Norway. So they heard and understood every word!
2. If you are used to American beer only, you will or may need to learn to appreciate WARM beer, since its standard to have room temp beer. This took some getting used to.
3. Sure seemed easy to get a lot of attention from the ladies in Norway, and alot were quite tall!
I always wished I could go back and visit there and other countries as a civilian where we wouldnt be limited on time, however now that college has passed, married, and kids are getting older, its probably unlikely.
