hehe i've done a bit of dwarf reading;

"According to the testimony of Hwang Jang-yop, a North Korean defector, "concentration camps" have been set up in South Hamkyung province to house "persons of very short stature." The gulag-like facilities were constructed at the behest of Kim Il-Sung to "prevent dwarves from multiplying."

http://pointsofdeparture.blogspot.com/2004...rth-koreas.html

looks like they have a website where you can 'dob in a dwarf'. pretty hardcore - read this!

"In the hopes of eliminating any traces of dwarfism in the nation's collective gene pool, the short-statured dissidents are forbidden to marry and are forcibly sterilized. If the condition is deemed hereditary by party health officials, entire families are sterilized as well."

Sheesh, Kim goes to great lengths to defend his title of shortest man in Korea.

your relocating to benefit them and they arent even gonna fork out for the move ? thats tight !!!
I'd load up on on office stationary to make up for it

Sydney is facing a rental crisis at the moment . So you might want to start looking now ( if you plan to rent ) . My mate has an apartment for rent in the inner city and for an inspection, he had 45 couples / people turn up !!! he had the place listed for $490 a week, he managed to score $600 pw , as people were so desperate to rent .

I'm considering sub-leasing my place. If you don't mind sleeping in a tent on the balcony and sharing with 5 asian students its in a great spot and I'll let that bed go for $150/week. Mates rates, ya dig

No one would expect a company your leaving would be nice enough to fork out the $$$ for your re-location .
