worked in spain for a long time, Just outside Barcelona. Loved the first few weeks after that become hell on earth.

I wont even go back to Spain now i hated it that much.

Oddly i love England so much even if i do slag it off. Cost of living far outways what you earn.

And i just missed home to much. Barcelona is beautiful but i couldn't live anywhere else but England.

Felt the same in Australia. After 10 months out there i was ready to come home. Mixed time out there, but it made me realize i love my own country.

Let's be honest, you haven't really got the hang of English yet.

quality lyrics

The red in the flag is the blood that was spilt
In the way that your forefathers tell
And never a country been so great
The stories Britannia coud tell

I never want to live my life
Away from the golden shores
There's never a country in the world
With the scent of an English rose

England, oh England, a country so great
The land of so fair and so true
There'll never be any colours like
The red, the white and the blue

Whenever you go to the far off shores
Ther's something that goes with you
The pride and the joy and the love that comes
From your mother of red, white and blue

You cold never be born under a flag that's like
The one of a Union Jack
St.George's spirit has never died
It all keeps coming back

I did 6 months in Moscow (not recomended) in 2008, and then for my troubles did 2 years in Shanghai.

Its all about the emerging markets darlings.

If you have a degree Vietnam or Cambodia are still viable options for casual esl teaching without a work visa. You won't get rich but you'll cover your expenses comfortably unless you're a complete animal.

I lived and worked in Sydney for a year - great city. But like the previous poster said, made me appreciate living in Europe a hell of a lot more when I came back...

Best job in the world, and if you can't ski or board yet you will be able to by the end.
