Why does KSA attract so much outpourings than other countries? On numerous occasions I've asked about various jobs in Europe, etc and there is deafening silence. I'm sure the answer is there, but it's extremely boring to constantly read bout this country. Other countries threads seemed to have either stopped or never updated.

MOD EDIT

It would be good to comment on something that's caught the eye a month later. I don't read this site regularly, so it would be good to have an opportunity to comment on missed comments.

People think of Europe as a "closed shop." U gotta have an EU passport to play the game, which leaves a lot of North Americans out in the cold.

KSA pays the most money (relatively) and makes you jump thru the most hoops. Because of this, teachers have a "love-hate" relationship with this country. No one will have a neutral opinion about KSA.

There's also the wide variety of, shall we say, dysfunctional teachers who end up here. I quickly realized that I was "doing time" with golden handcuffs and I left only to realize that the NOC was KSA's parting shot.

No other country pulls as many low-life bureaucratic stunts as KSA because they pay the most. it's almost as if they are asking, "How much do you want it?" Neutral

Something to do with numbers. KSA has lots of EFL teachers. Utter Slobodistan has fewer.
