Ways to go around the world by T么m C脿ng

Unemployment in your country by Julien
I've just read a very interesting article about unemployment in the US (sorry it's in French), it says that the unemployment level is so low that the salaries are getting increased. Well it seems to be exactly the opposite in France; there is less ...
In the Dominican Republic the unemployment is around 40 % as well. Many young people come here from Canada foremost, and dream of a life in the Caribbean, to work in tourism. It is not a correct picture though, as tourism businesses might be owned ... Read More
santiago info, pls by jonstreet
Hola, I'm thinking about moving to Santiago and was wondering what the apartment situation is like there. I'm in Buenos Aires and inflation is putting the pinch on us here. I'm starting an internet business and am kind of on a budget. Basically, ...

Christmas in the Carribean by Julien

Why did you move to a foreign country? by Julien
The first poll of the expat forum! It is associated to this post: /forum/viewtopic.php?id=27 Did you move for professional reasons, for your studies, because you really wanted to (you move without a job), or for any other ...
