[Australia Sucks]

The number one factor in game is location. Location, location, location!! 80% of the game is about location! Look for the right country, then the right city in that country, then the right neighborhood in that city. If you get those factors right it just becomes a case of do a decent number of approaches and don't fuck it up. Anybody who has traveled a lot and gamed in multiple countries knows this. In short the main problem is that you live in Australia. I guarantee you would not be making this post if you were living in a country like Colombia. Focus on making enough money to permanently leave Australia (i.e. move to greener pastures) and your problem will disappear.
