I really struggle to have any sympathy for somebody who just doesn't live in the real world.
I had a pretty awful time growing up, but I don't cry about it. I joined the Navy at 16, with no qualifications other than a few GCSEs. Owen, imagine being a 16 year old boy in the military. I was in Iraq at 18. But ithen, imagine moving a few hundred miles from one part of the UK to another...
Anyway, I worked hard, got my degree whilst in the military, then my aircraft engineering licenses, and left the military with great memories and experiences.
I'd love to see Owen go to Uni, get his qualifications, and probably more than anything, come out with those great memories and experiences. I just don't see it though. I'm sure Irlinit has them from Norwich. And as he said, he's from a privileged background. However he has a human side that Owen seemingly doesn't have. Quite sad really. Owen needs tough love. He's never seen a hard day in his life, and it will bite him in the arse.
England isn't the same as the island of Ireland at all. The people are closed off/reserved and there is a lot of intolerance aimed at anyone who doesn't fit the norm i.e. disabled people.
Irish people are much nicer/more understanding and more willing to help.
At 19, really?
Perhaps you feel the people in England are "closed off/reserved" & that there is a "lot of intolerance" but it is far more likely that the way YOU behave is what distances people from you. You seem to think you are better than everyone else & look down your nose at students drinking & having fun, I mean how dare they?! If you took your head out of your a** & stopped being such a douche you may find people behave differently towards you, because how you describe England is not the England I was born in & lived in most of my life
And yes IRISH people may be nice, (though I'm sure a fair few are also c***s), but Northern Ireland is a completely different kettle of fish...
Tbh one of my Chinese roommates had a similar lifestyle. He would order 160 dollar cakes online for people's birthdays (mine too btw, thanks bro), order expensive Chinese snacks straight from China, bought 300 dollar Gucci belts, etc. But he was insanely hardworking too, it's not like he went to college to jerk off and go to parties everyday. On exam weeks he would be in the library until close, he got an A in Calculus II which is a Herculean task in my school
Even if I had a lot of money, I couldn't imagine myself being so wasteful with it. Who pays $300 for a ****ing belt? It's a stupid belt. I would still buy relatively cheap. I don't care too much about style.
Well eating out to me means £20/£30 in Wagamama or Yo Sushi, that's what i'm referring to.
For one meal? £30 is like 500k rupiahs, which is a week worth of meal here!
Thankfully i have no driving license so i only eat around the campus area, which is "student's cost" 10-35k rupiahs (roughly £0.60-2.00)
And to think that one of my classmates whose father was in the embassy can get used to "student's cost" meals as well, after 3 years living in Australia

That's quite funny.. I went out for a meal today on Campus and it cost me £11..drinks alone are £2.

IDK how people on this board can afford £5 meals.
Why? £5 for a meal is very cheap.
