moloko Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 Hey everyone.....I'm looking for a new experience, and I'm considering living abroad for a bit...somewhere along the lines of 6 months or so, most likely. I haven't decided where I want to go yet, but I'm leaning towards somewhere in Europe (I'm currently in Canada) Has anyone done this? I'd love a bit of friendly advice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love a bit of friendly advice Russia (I was born there) has insane currency....you can be a king with just a nickel to your name. I suggest St. Petersburg, a major metropolitan, you'll never get bored, at summer time it's still day light up until eleven pm. just a gorgeous city! but you were thinking something less east Europe I bet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moloko Posted February 19, 2008 Author Share Posted February 19, 2008 Hey guys, thanks for the great advice! I hadn't thought of Russia, but it sure looks beautiful! I don't really have a preference for climate...and I'm pretty good with languages so I'm sure I would be able to pick things up pretty quickly.

Yep, the uncleanliness, soaring crime rate, and idiotic mayor have finally gotten to me. That and the amount of pretentious indie rockers.

spats Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 You nailed it. There are shootings everyday now. The city is getting dirtier. Everything closes earlier than in other cities. The dating scene is terrible, and the city is just overall boring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moloko Posted February 19, 2008 Author Share Posted February 19, 2008 And of course we can't forget the crappy overpriced service on the TTC. I see Adam Giambrone on the Spadina Streetcar all the time, and I kind of want to kick him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
