Originally posted by winston Houston?! New York? I'm outraged!!! how dare you compare that shithole to one of the greatest cities in the world!..bahhh jason snap! First of all Houstin is in the good ol' republic of Texas (a country of its own), it is the 4th largest city in the US after Chicago but don't let that fool you. Houston is more like a the southern capital of the U.S Attracting a majority of (yea, i'll use the term) mexicans. Ok, New York City, if you have never been there is polar opposite. New York is very multi-cultural, diverse, educated, compelling, intense, luxurious, bohemian, it has a life of its own. you can't compare new york even with chicago and people love to compare them all the time.

you missed the point completely.

i was being sarcastic enrique.

dont think or talk about it cos then you'll never do it. just do it. i've done it 2x already. 3rd continent i've been living on.

Agreed.

I talked about leaving Ontario for the longest time but always found "reasons" not to do it (eg. money, timing etc. etc.) Finally I just picked up and left, and I am so happy I did it

that's awesome. it's such a hard decision to make to get up, leave a place you're comfortable in, where your friends are and go somewhere else.

looking back on it, it was the best thing i've ever done in my life to get up and go to Korea. and it doesn't even seem like a big deal now. my life went from being boring, depressing and stagnant to exciting and amazing.

YES!

I think the next move for me (if not moving to BC), will be Thailand or Australia. Have to wait until I am finished school though. P.S. Not using that as an excuse!!

Originally posted by sweds00 move to Victoria BC: ... -Good party town

sorry had to point that out, geez Victoria is retiree capital of canada, its a god damn quietest city, how dare you suggest him move there from Ottawa!??! at least, he can drive 90 mins east and be in Montreal for a nights out.

And the guy putting Austin in the same list as New York must be on crack, and Montreal is not european... well if Boston is european to you hicks then yeah I concede Montreal is too then

Don't think about it as an excuse. Schooling is one of the major things the country uses to consider your entrance.

No, I definitely know that it legitimately isn't an excuse this time around. I *have* to finish school if I intend to go to either country (want to teach ESL in Thailand and go to Teachers College in Australia).

I am so anxious to finish school. I don't want to get "comfortable" here. The move from Ontario to AB was a good step though

don't know if it's been said yet (can be bothered to scroll through all the bullshit in this thread after like the 3rd post) but the best option for a Canadian in Europe to my knowledge (unless agreements have changed in the last 5 years) is the "Vacances-Travail" visa in France, made for Canadian youth between 18-35. Gives you a one-year work and residence permit. Teach English when you get there, get a copy of a FUSAC magazine and away you go.

Amazing experience. And most people speak English in Paris anyway, but if you live in Ottawa you should have a fair grasp already, I think.

ps. if you're lucky and you work for a very good company, they might sponsor you to stay on beyond the one year.

the teaching english abroad thing has become cliche as fcuk. Every other arts student that can't get a job domestically(surprise surprise) joins the masses to go teach in east asia.

I would imagine the general quality of the teaching is shit(No offense or n e thing).


try the bill and melinda gates charity in india, you apparantly get to put corrupt cops in their place !

like everyone else i think you have a lot to think about first, you could start by traveling to where you want to live and studying there for a semester. visiting and living somewhere are two completely different things so basing your opinion on a cool week long vacation is dumb. also, you can't just up and move to another country just cause. like others suggested move to another city in north america.

This thread makes me went to move across the pond so hard.

I just got off the phone with the Prime Minister and he told me to pass on a message from him: you're not wanted here.
