    It's all part of fun. They're usually assignments of a year at most.

    I'm pretty well compensated, and not having to pay rent I'm sure it's not that big of a deal. Salaries are also adjusted depending on the cost of living in an area.

      If you want to spend time in Europe of course...

        I hate British accents. Pompous bastards.

          I like them. Especially if spoken by a nice woman...

            Well, if you want to be poor :shrug:

            As for the accents...You'll hear atleast 50 the hour after arriving at Heathrow.
            You just wasted six ... no, seven ... seconds of your life reading this sentence.

              The one time I've been at Heathrow they made us deplane on stairs in the rain.

                    If accomodation is taken care of, he'll have plenty of money left over for fun.

                    What you say about accents is true. There are probably more accents in London than the rest of Europe put together. No need to fear everyone talking like Hollywood's bad guys.

                      Not scared of a little precipitation I hope. If you're used to Canadian ice and snow you should find London mild and temperate.

                        It's actually up for debate whether London or Toronto is the most cosmopolitan city in the world (in terms of cultures represented and languages spoken), so I don't think it would be much of a shock.

                          Cort Haus, yes, that's mainly because we speak different languages and have our own accents within those languages

                          Anyway, London.

                          Think about it. You'll have a chance to work in NYC later on as well, I'm sure... but London might not come up for a long time so it would be my pick.

                            One of my mates is Finnish, and when I went out on monday there were southern & northern English, Irish, German and ex-Yugoslav accents around the table.
