Venezuela vs. Kazakhstan

EUExpl,

I hope Venezuela is considered a hardship post when I apply. Ill gladly take a position at one of the better schools there.

If you can get in at ECA or CIPLC- either would be a pretty good gig for a first-time, single guy. Just know there will be daily frustrations.

lol unlike other parts of the world--where there are NO daily frustrations! ;)

Venezuela is on another level in terms of frustrations, FLyingpigs. How many other countries in the world can claim DAILY power outages, water rationing, political instability and violence, monetary uncertainties, some of the worst petty crime in the world (in the large cities) and the routine disappearance of essential items in the grocery store? Syria? Cuba? Perhaps North Korea? Some places have 2 or 3 of these things at any given time, but Venezuela pretty much runs the table.
