Well I need some help here. I have narrowed my next move down to 3 places, Moscow, Southern Poland, or Brno. Moscow offers 2000us no apartment, Pl. offers 1800 pln plus single flat., and Brno offers 23000 net czk. (no flat). I am having a hard time with making up my mind. For the most part I have been in Asia for 3 years teaching and have no experience in E. Europe. I do have a TESOL and a fair amount of ESL experience. Money is not my main concern but, it is a concern. Quality of life is what I am after. I would love to hear your thoughts on this matter. Cool

As far as most total money, the job is Moscow pays the most. The problem is that Moscow is the most expensive city in the world and your money won't go very far. 23,000 in Brno is pretty good. That will be more than enough to live on. The city is pretty nice (but not too historical) and the people are relatively open to travelers. I really can't help you with Poland.

Cheers,

Thanks for the imput. This is a hard choice. Both have good and negative aspects.

HI Chris,

I was teaching in Poland for 4 years both north and south. You can live a nice life if the flat is included. If you want more information you can email me at [email protected]
