I welcome myself to IBIZA!!!!!!!!!!
- Thread starter ROGUE
- Start date
it is...apartments are supposedly new too and very clean which is a bonus... thats what u should ideally find, someplace where ur sharing paying that price or less with no deposit and with the lack of bodies in ibiza it shouldn't be too hard to haggle the landlords down a bit? i hope there is enough work to pay my way around this summer... i defo wanna go karting, formentera, scuba diving and a few other things...

is exactly the reason why ive had to come home......because of the bars that are left paying commision only they dont care how many staff they take on so therefore loads of competition!! i flew home on the 4th june and the place was still very quiet then!! its going to be a bad season and some residents that i spoke to confirmed there worries and that its even worse than last year so far

my job is sorted (apparently) though i will need to look for another job to make up the money. I don't really need to but that just means i'll be visiting the bank and i don't really wanna have to spend money that i don't earn out there... and my apartment is defo sorted already so i don't really need to worry but i know the pr-ing work is getting totally hard which is why i don't wanna do it... last year i heard bar amsterdam had over 20 pr's!! if the clubs lowered their prices for tickets and drinks it would still be a busy place and i see 2 club owners last year PRing for their own bars and really pushing his staff.. its plain silly u won't get nowhere if u don't lower the prices but they don't seem to get it...
shame u had to come home lee but i know loads of people will be doing that over the season, 2 of my flatmates from last year wanna go and live out there for good but i told them already its not a good idea but they still think they can survive easily..
completely agreed mate....dont get me wrong it was great and i had a wicked time but couldnt last out for the duration as its a joke when it comes to jobs! things need to be done/changed otherwise its going to get worse every year....and as for living out there permantely..its hard... as you probably already know you have to get a 6 month contract to be entitled to claim dole over the winter

not surprising... its sad people are so desperate to stay out there that they work like that... i know its a great place to be but its hell if u have to go through that and it makes living in uk like heaven. i remember coming home last year - proper bed, proper food, proper house there really is no place like home for me. yet i still miss ibiza when i'm not there. point of working out there i think was to get the free club passes and be able to live on what u earn - its got to the point where u get no time off and even when u do u got no money to go anywhere or club passes. i personally will come home if i don't get a decent job out there - just take a hol then come home after a month. shame ibiza is a lovely place - the greedy owners spoil it for everyone.
