I would like to go to Europe after I am finished in Korea. Since I don't have an EU passport I am limited to Eastern Europe. So then, where should I go in Eastern Europe? I am looking for a big city with a good party life. Somewhere where the salary will allow me to go out and enjoy myself. Budapest or Bucharest? Somewhere else?

In Bucharest you would starve to death slowly on a teacher's salary. I am not sure that Budapest is much better.

Depends what you're looking for. Zagreb? Bratislava? Riga, Latvia? Slovenia has some beautiful scenery. It's relatively cheap to travel around Europe, especially if you're coming from Korea. Why not travel around a bit and see what's cookin'?

Well I have been to Zagreb and I was not impressed. I lived in Germany but it is hard to get a job there without an EU passport and the truth is I would like to go somewhere else.

Bratislava or Budapest sound the best to me. Lativa seems a little cold in the winter. I am not fond of winter at all. What is the job situation is Bratislava?

Eastern Europe is cold in the winter. Go South. Turkey.

The women in Turkey are like the women at the international parties at U of Delaware: available and easy and adoring of M.A. holdersl.

They also have impressive financial skills to help you save and invest so that you can build your dream hotel in Central America.

What else would you like to know?

I don't need any help with that. Man, some people really hold a grudge. It is quite funny when someone gets so mad at what someone says on a public forum.

Furthermore it is funny when someone gets mad just because I offered some detailed info on how one could retire in 10 years while being an EFL teacher. Obviously I offered some ideas because I have been running the numbers.
