So the capital isn't the most expensive....interesting. What are the teaching salaries like from the people that you've met there? |

If there's salaries for 3 juta/month then there has to fun ways to stretch that amount.
Coal and gas....What's the air the like, then? Are you hacking up pieces of your lungs every morning or so? |
