i got brits colleagues here and they keep recalling the amount
of $$$ they made in london and other european countries. one of
them talked about working as a contractor in london for their bank
IT projects, work hours are long but the employers will throw money
at you. he earned heaps and the exchange rate of pounds to other
countries' currency was staggering.
i would love to work in the europe if i can. but with a family,
mobility is very limited. imagine, u work in london on weekdays and
travel to milan, paris, berlin on the weekends.. shiok!
I did just that while doing student exchange... But after a
while, it became rather sian... The interest will be there for a
month or two, but after a while, you will start to feel that
everything is very similar... Especially at Paris, when you do not
know French, the French can get rather unfriendly towards Asians.
Knowing just bonjour and merci is not sufficient. The same goes for
certain parts of Berlin, of which it was fortunate that I know
sufficient German.
