Leela - before you plan to stay overnight at any station - please do check that it's actually open all night! I made that mistake on the journey to PDP. We had to sleep at the station overnight to get an early coach but the hitch was - the station got locked at midnight! We ended up on the streets, and getting harassed by this guy, so we spent the night in the police station waiting room! 
Besides - there are plenty of us going, I'm sure we can smuggle you into a hotel somewhere.

Liz-I know that.First TH concert I had to wait 4 hours in front of a station at like 2am..all of 17.wasn't that fun red lights everywhere and stuff... but thanks for metioning. smuggling in a hotel sounds funny though.I have never done that ;D we will see. ²ina-mai:LOL well I hope your friend is someone relaxed. I unfortuanetly experienced the reactions of friends of frieds who were involved in that kind of stuff without knowing.they were quite pissed off even once it was only waiting at an airport for 2 hours^^ |

well I get home for christmas but as I only stay for about 10 months....no holidays.
my agency wrote:
"legally an 'employer' is not obliged to pay for
holidays for part time staff, nor for those that are contracted for less
than 12 months. Of course an au pair isn't even considered to be an
employee (nor is the family their employer). Au pairing is a gentleman's
agreement between the two parties. That said, nearly all the girls go home
at Christmas, and often for around 2 weeks"
so i don't think it would be a good idea to ask,hm?

My dad has worked for a few agencies and he just told them what days he would need off and stuff cuz agencies you only get paid for days you actually work so to be fair apparently you can take any days off Failing anything like that depending on your agency phone them up that day or day before and say you're ill A little white lie won't hurt to see a favorite band who we don't see a lot off |

LOL Ina-Mai I certainly wouldn't mind lying once to my agency but I have to speak about it with the family I'm living with. I'm an au-pair so faking being ill doesn't help me with that matter but thanks anyway for trying to help me. =) |
