Advice for New Expats

Be patient and observe for about year before making judgements.

A country made for people. Sydney in Australia and Ottowa in Canada would be my first choices right now.

Saudi Arabia: Sauid Arabia - would you go?:

Hi everyone, I am being ofered a post in Riyadh and as this has come as acomplete surprise, and I know nothing about Saudi Arabia I would appreciate any advice or help you might be able to give me regarding what I ought to negotiate as a job package before saying yes to the offer. I live in Madrid and don't want to sell up, so I'll need to be able to transfer funds from SA to cover my mortgage. At the moment I won't be going with my family as I think it would be a great upheaval right now. Is itmeasy to get plane tickets in and out of Saudi Arabia? Are planes always full? Expensive? I have a thiusand and one doubts so any help would be greatly appreciated, really...a big thank you in advance.

Global Expat Forum: Where to begin??:

Hi, a good place to to start is with a plan and try to stick to it. I alsomthink that it helps a ton if you speak the language or at least a bit of it otherwise you are going to hate the place you arrive in. Costs of each country are also important. Spain is cheaper than northern europe but few people still speak English even though it seems half the population have English classes and have had them for years. I admire your guts in taking the plunge.
