the only bad thing about being an apprentice is that you cant sit and chill. like if the tradies finish there jobs for the day they just sit and chat or read a book, but as an apprentice you gotta be doing SOMETHING, and its so goddam boring looking for things to do, and normally the only things to do are boring, crappy jobs no one else wants to do.
but other than thats its so good, always having money and not having to work too hard :lol:

Thinking about doing it next year. plan on staying on the northshore for 1.5 weeks and then moving on to Cali for a week and brazil for 1.5 weeks for my cousins wedding. Haven't crunched the numbers yet but I know It's gonna cost a shit load. Hoping the global crisis does me a favour and drops the airfair :D

Yeah hopefully! Will probaly set you back a fair bit, have to take in to calcualation everything.. airfares, hotels, food, random crap!! Mate make sure to book in early for flights, if theres a good air fare on offer.. grab it because chances are its just gonna go up from there! Thats what I did and looking at the flights for hawaii now, there double almost triple what I payed! so stoked, can't wait!
