Year Abroad

[Chris Wilkinson]

Well, I've got some info about options for next year, my year abroad.

Places and things I can do...

• Moscow - State Linguistic University (Full Year)
• Moscow - Language Link Centre (Half Year)
• St. Petersburg - Teaching English (Full/Half Year)
• St. Petersburg - State University (Half Year)
• Yaroslavl' - Yartek Institute (Full/Half Year), same place I went to during the summer.
• Tver - State University (Half Year)
• Volgograd - Language Link Centre (Half Year)
• Petrozavodsk - State University (Half Year)

Also going to look into going to Kiyev, but that's probably not going to be allowed.

Petrozavodsk first semester then Volgograd second semester strikes me as quite good.

Deja vu

[Chris Wilkinson]

Meh, I'm bored.

I know the feeling, today has been a very quiet day at work

[MikeH]

You weren't there?

[Chris Wilkinson]

It's a bit dumb how they want us to tell them where we want to go with these tiny snippets of information, then we're going to have a meeting where they explain stuff.

Well, yes, but can you switch locations after they've given you more information?

It's not as if you're signing a check for ten grand and saying, "Send me somewhere in East Europe!"

[Chris Wilkinson]

I guess so, but then it kinda defeats the object of telling them...

I'd go to Moscow and/or St. Petersburg, but then I like my big, cosmopolitan cities I do. Moscow is awesome.

Hehe, I am just not used to going from a company who are effectively a bunch of slave drivers to having a much lighter workload...

[Chris Wilkinson]

Moscow is far better than St. Petersburg, but I'm not really a big citylad...plus going somewhere sans foreginers would be a lot better for my language.

Good! Penetrate the Rooskie education system and report back here.

Just...be careful, no hero stuff, k?

You can go to Moscow and refuse to speak English
