And good on you blokes who've buckled down and done it and taken something positive from it. :notworthy:


Thanks for the compliment. :)
There's always something positive to take out of any situation. Just depends on the mindset. I had much more to learn from other people than I thought. :oops:
If I had gone in with the attitude that everything was beneath me, then I would have just wasted my time and learnt nothing. I would've just been another self-entitled overseas Taiwanese pr*ck with no sense of responsibility to this country. :bow:

Looking at the poll results, 70% voted no. However, there is not a lot of stories here addressing that. I'm sure many people who love to hear about the other side too.

The number of megapixels does not determine a camera's picture quality; that's a marketing myth. The sensor size is far more important. (Use Google to find it. For example, search for "sensor size Nikon D90.")
