Awesome. You all need to vote then.

What was different from what they'd said? did they try to diddle you or what?

 

[nybor62]

no never tried to diddle us , payments were spot on . the prep work was very poor. . the tiles were the main problem 600x600 porc . all had to be wet cut . nothing would touch them . they just shatterted

 

[Dan]

Fair enough.

Not Porcel-Thin then eh @Ray TT @ Porcel-Thin

I considered doing this. But was too close to my partners due date to be going halfway round the world.
What was it like? Any pictures of what it was you were doing?

Cool looks like it must have gone well if you're willing to possibly go back

Was this the one where there was a question mark over visas? i.e. working on a tourist visa. How did that pan out?
