Programming Jobs Abroad For a US Citizen?
An anonymous reader writes "I am a American citizen with a masters in Computer Science from a 3rd tier college and 4 years of work experience under my belt. I would like to work somewhere abroad in Europe for a couple years before I get too settled in life but have no clue where to start. I only speak English but would love to learn a second language. What sort of opportunities are there for American citizens to work abroad? What countries offer the best opportunity to balance a challenging work environment with enough vacation to explore the rest of Europe in my free time? Any hassles I should know about?"

True that. Asking a Parisian your way is the same as insulting him. The country folk, on the other hand, will only have a problem with you if your skin complexion is too dark to their taste -- then they might think you're a Muslim or something.
P.S.: Those are what friends of mine told me upon returning from their journey to metropolitan France. Plus those were the nicest part of their respective stories.

The difference is that English is the language of global communication. It's not a second language, it's a basic skill that is taught to prepare the person for just such an occasion, whether that be a Frenchie in Fair Rapids, or a Kiwi in Clermont. All little French children, as well as little Dutch, German, Czech, Italian, and Russian kids are all taught English in school because it is the defacto standard for communication. For bonus points, I'm a German living in the Czech Republic working for an international company. Languages work like this here, the older people speak German, the middle aged English and broken Russian, and the younger people speak English.
Even when he got re-elected, it was roughly 25% of the population who elected him. Sure, 50% opted to not vote at all, but still, a majority did not vote for him. And while I will gladly argue the matter with the people who actually did vote for him, I won't blame those who did not.
sorry, but caning is so very cruel to typical americans.
chew gum? its illegal there. it sounds VERY harsh, overall, and americans won't be willing to put up with such bad treatment, basically over-reactions to non-issues.
I'd never even want to travel there, let alone work or live there. sorry if that offends, but your legal system is actually WORSE than ours; and that's saying a lot..
