So what kind of jobs/business interests do people have where they get to go to these exotic places?

Teaching is one profession. Business ventures is another. I had once tried to join the Peace Corps. The Peace Corps is an organization that recruits and trains people who are teachers, administrators, doctors and nurses, architects, construction supervisors and engineers. These individuals are trained in cultural immersion before going to the country they are assigned to. But it's not that easy. They have to pass the cultural immersion phase before going to the next phase. I have a degree in criminal justice. That wasn't enough. The Peace Corps wants leaders first and foremost. But the these leaders have to do this from the perspective of the host country and not from the American perspective. This is why the Peace Corps is called in the advertising, "The toughest job you'll ever love." Peace Corps volunteers are assigned to a host country for around 2 1/2 years(that can be cut short in the event of a natural disaster or civic unrest), they live with a family or a small apartment with no running water or little electricity. If a volunteer is married, the spouse goes, too. The Peace Corps has posts in Africa, SE Asia, Central Europe(including Armenia), South and Central America, the Carribean, China and Mongolia. I would've loved to have been selected to go.

That is after passing the immersion course. After that, the volunteer goes to the village they are assigned to to work many hours every day. In Eastern Europe, Russia and Ukraine, there are running black outs and plumbing issues in an apartment building. Volunteers also report to an officer where they can collect mail, known stores in which basically supplies like soap, deodorant, food and toothpaste(care packages from home can also be picked up at the centers). A lot of times volunteers just get together in town for socializing and sharing stories about their experiences. If a volunteer is sent to China, they live in a college dorm room. Sometimes a volunteer would have a serious relationship with a local citizen. I had once saw a documentary about the first Peace Corps volunteers who were sent to Africa. One white female volunteer stated that she had a brief romance with an African-American man while she was there. It's possible after a few months to a year.

a lot of asian cuties in the FSR countries. know a few who were born there and moved to china (i live in beijing).

i dated a belarussian, english is perfect. only thing at times she didn't really understand was when i used idioms in regular conversation, but that was my fault. creature of habit sometimes.

there are a lot of girls in that part of the world that speak english. some of my really good friends live in kiev and their english is perfect. you could date those girls that cannot speak english well. but dig this shit, you are likely to run into the problems western men here in beijing have dating asian women with virtually no english - communication problems. lots get lost in translation. shit gets frustrating. that honeymoon phase will wear off real quick. if you are intending to just fool around, have at it. but, be careful. and, if you can speak the language in that particular country, do the damn thang!

in short, if you are looking to find a wife, speaking the same language is paramount. even with survival language, you may run into problems. also, find a woman making moves out here. they are out here. if you are living in a foreign country, mix up your places you socialize, get involved in hobbies, clubs, etc. a lot of cats don't do that, they just hit the clubs and fuck around in there. one of my friends in kiev, she does yoga. she said there are a lot of ladies at her gym that are interested in foreign guys. guess what!? aren't many at their gym? these are professional ladies who have been around the world, very independent. so all of them aren't trying to green card your ass. homegirl worked in the states for a couple of years.

again, be safe and pragmatic fellas. use the time abroad to evolve and truly hone yourselves. you can get mixed up in woman drama abroad too, easily.

Guychoy,there was a member of this site dj4monie who was a dj in some Ukrainian cities. Search Ukraine and Russia and you find a lot of threads. Hope you can be a teacher in Ukraine soon.

Soulthinker, thanks. I just ran a google search on him and found him on this forum as well as another. He seems to know his stuff. I'll read up some more on him. Yeah a teaching gig would be nice, but I really want to learn to make money remotely, so that teaching would be a sort of "pasttime" and not my main source of income overseas.

Have you thought about being a day trader? What did you study in college?

find a way to get over there. i will say this: make sure you want to do it for all the right reasons. a lot of cats get over here, start working, and absolutely hate it. it becomes a grind because it isn't what they want to do, really and truly. in other words, doing the same shit they were doing back in the states or wherever they came from.

i will say, there are opportunities to venture off into other things, making an additional source of income (e.g., online). again, it is about making good connections with folk to point you in the right direction. since asia is in the vicinity, a lot of business is conducted between asian and slavic/euro countries. for example, i work with folk who are trying to get fit (i run/enjoy fitness, so i don't get burnt out).

Beasty, I have thought about it and purchased a Forex course. Still haven't finished it. I studied foreign languages.

I hear you. I studied the usual Spanish and now French. Deciding what will be next will not be an easy choice.

Russian is probably tough due to aspects and how you must stress certain sounds. German seems to be tough due to word order and I don't really like how long the words are. Sometimes I wonder do the fun in learning languages end with the romance group.

Try Portuguese or Italian. Gaelic is pretty tough and so is Castilian Spanish.

I love Italian almost as much as I love French. Portuguese could possibly be next. Brazil is attractive for potential business and travel. There is enough time for me to contemplate my decision but I must do so while considering whats best for my near future vs my wants. Sometimes I like to learn for the pleasure of learning itself but such desires must be balanced with personal and professional goals intelligently.

It may just be about time for me to take my medicine so to speak. In that case I'm looking at German or Russian. Russian because it makes sense to know at least one eastern European language. German because it's a good economic language and Germany has a pro business culture.

Ideally, studying Italian would be a treat or reward that I must earn by being decisive and disciplined enough to tackle another language first.

I need to learn Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Japanese, Cantonese, Mandarin, Russian and French. Maybe German and Polish.

Japanese is fun in the early stages, but i never got serious enough to really dig into the nuts and bolts of it, so I don't really know the tough side. Just know that the general consensus is that it's even harder than Russian.

Take your coat off for Mandarin, I'll salute you when you finish it. It's tonal which makes it exceptionally tricky and difficult.

You have quite the ambitious list list.

Maybe you should start with Spanish due to your location and the fact that it's the easiest language up there. Even French is more difficult, but it's fun. People that know Spanish can understand people that know Italian. That's another reason why Italian is a bonus language imo.

My take on difficulty from hardest to easiest excluding Cantonese, Polish and Portuguese.

1.) Mandarin
2.) Japanese
3.) Russian
4.) German
5.) French
6.) Italian
7.) Spanish

Don't forget Gaelic. That is also considered to be a difficult language to learn. But it is spoken in Ireland. I remember hearing it in films like The Quiet Man with John Wayne and Maureen O'Hara, and the giant monster classic Gorgo. Pronouncing Irish names is a challenge.

I have absolutley no knowledge of that language, doubt I will consider learning it.

The furthest I will go is to add Russian, German, Portuguese, Italian and perhaps Catalan to my knowledge of French and Spanish. I like Catalan, it's a fun romance language that I may learn in my free time for the fun of it.

german can be easy depends on how much you write and speak it. i studied german and speak and write it with a good friend of mine. the most difficult parts (in my opinion) are verb conjugations: laufen (run) ich laufe (i run) wir laufen (we run) and use of the article (the, a) in the right case: nominative, dative, and accusative - but when speaking, making a mistake with these are ok because a native speaker will still understand you. hell, many native german speakers make this mistake as well there are a few other tidbits as well in regards to perplexity in german.

Sounds great. Your perspective is very much appreciated. German will probably be next for me. I'm looking at the possibility of spending a summer in Europe before I finish school and German seems to be a more logical course of study due to the proximity of France. Getting exposure to both cultures while I'm there would seem to be the best use of time and approach to becoming proficient in both languages. Hopefully in the meantime I can find a German class at a different school so I can learn some of it without risking my gpa. lol
