DwayneEMTP Posted January 10, 2012 Posted January 10, 2012 Hey all, I got a job with International SOS in PNG (Papua New Guinea) and am going to Sydney Australia for orientation. I'll fly from CO, USA on Friday (my time) it looks like, and I believe will be there Sunday, Aussie time(?), for orientation to begin on Monday. I don't have any real idea what the orientation consists of but a couple of other medics that I spoke too said that it's several hours each day with lots of time left over in the evening... I was hoping that maybe some of the City folks would be near and, if I can find an Aussie/English translator, that maybe we could say G'day Mate before it's time for me to get among'st it?? (Yeah, screw you, that's all the Aussie that I speak, more or less) I've got some other Aussie brothers and sisters too, but as we all do much similar work am not sure if they will be there or now. Anyway, if you can, and would like to, I'd love the opportunity to do a few shots and try and teach you how o drink like a real man... Or, a cup of coffee, either is fine... Dwayne 1
DFIB Posted January 10, 2012 Posted January 10, 2012 I don't know if it beats Kandahar but I would think that it probably does. PNG! Pretty cool.
