Hi everyone, There's a question that bothers me since a few months, i'd like to move abroad, this is something i plan since a few years, now, i graduated, worked, but i still dont know exactly which asian country would be the best to work and live ...
Hi Anton, It聮s not simply a matter of which country you聮d prefer, but what employment you聮d need to survive. I take it you聮re French, so that leaves out the teaching as most employment revolves around native English speakers. Manual work, such as ... Read More
