accidental tourist



Carrie has been dropping not so subtle hints about moving to Australia, she even sold her car, paid off some bills.

She is researching the various kinds of visas - there is the vacation/working visa - which requires proof of a sizable amount of money in a bank account, proof of being able to support oneself, proof of job prospects. Their website has this heading:

Enriching Australia through the well managed entry and settlement of people.

This is a very interesting idea, unlike some countries who advertise at the port of entry, wanting the poor, the huddled masses, the wretched refuse, the homeless…

I believe that Australia might just be onto something here.
