Cool, thanks for that. We have a few things in common, no... I've never been a stripper! I have been to Switzerland, Austria is better but do it! I love native American culture! I smash spiders every chance I get (I do live in Australia and there's a lot of them!). Sharks are my favourite ocean animal, I had a pet one for a few years, she was so pretty! Anyhow, there's a lot more I can add but you've probably not even read this far! 

I had a wobbygong aka carpet shark. She was about 10 inches long. Spiders do suck, the worst ones are in New South Wales. Switzerland is very expensive, Austria not so much, I also went to Lichtenstein, Czech Republic, Germany, Luxembourg, Belgium and Northern France. It was all fantastic, I did this last October.... It was a self drive road trip!

Best wishes on becoming a vet tech. Great job. I had an old school volks van. Slow but reliable. 

@october_, You are sweet. Sadly, very late one night a drunk hit me and the van and then ran. It rolled over on the freeway and I was lucky to escape. Totaled, no insurance, no ride. Became a hitcher to get to college for awhile. Wish I had any of my first cars. I also had two old chevys. All collector's items now. Don't like spiders either.
