I think I get it.
Sean should not do any PADI courses or contemplate going to "KODOMO" (at least until he can spell it correctly and find it on a map, assuming, as Nurse Ratchet pointed out above, he can find his bum in the mornings...or any time, for that matter). If he/she can do all the things he/she dreams about without leaving Europe, why leave?
I suspect that Tuan Sean is a hopeless, psychiatric escapee from somewhere armed with a computer and internet account (maybe even a laptop with an infra-red modem/phone and satellite dish, living under a bridge somewhere in England). Good on them! (You, too, Anna...I wouldn't be surprised if you're Sean in cyber-disguise, talking back to yourself). If not, accept my apologies. If you're genuinely responding to this sick-person's fantasies, keep in mind that there are many who may have 'fallen by the way-side' and this internet stuff gives them a modicum of pleasure. Can't blame 'em really, for society's failures.
What if I am another manifestation of Sean/Anna/Dr Bali/B.Dylan/Nurse Ratchet/ etc? What if this whole forum is written by one person who occasionally gets an opportunity to respond to a genuine request from an innocent cyber-stander? Ooooo...makes me shudder thinking about it.
I just wish that there were fewer people, saying so little, to so many on forum's like these. (Hey...this included!)
OK, Sean...I know you're having a lend of people. Why don't you go and do it somewhere else and give the rest of us a break?
