Except for Finland in most Scandinavian countries you will find people who speak English, same for Belgium or the Netherlands. In Germany the youth speaks English as well.

And how many times have you been here, to make such a sweeping statement? Virtually everyone in their thirties and younger can speak english, many very fluently - older people will most likely at least understand, probably many could speak as well if they just wanted to. Razz

Italy will give you the possibility to find an excellent job, many interesting opportunities for a brilliant career and you'll also learn a different and very useful new language.

One thing tho, the jokes about finns being quiet and all that are very much true (compared to some other nationalities at least - pff those loudmouth italians and small-talk americans), which can give the initial impression that they don't speak english at all. Usually to get a finn talking you just need to get to know them better or just get them drunk, either way will work. Very Happy

Well if you can believe it, in some countries people actually engage in social interaction without alcohol. Crazy people I say.

Germany: great country with a lot of big cities and beautiful nature. Very cheap too, compared to Holland atleast. Maybe it's teh language, but the population is not very friendly.
Holland: Not much to do, but very welcoming atmosphere. Many people speak English, many musea if you like them.
Italy: I have been there maybe twice very briefly, nice country. English was a problem though.
France: I've only been to Paris. Fucking expensive and most French I've met are absolutely arrogant. Some even refuse to speak English.
Belgium: Major cities are good to visit, but it's a small country with small things. Not much to see. English shouldn't be a problem.

In short, every country has its bright spots. Considering the major cities, the beatiful nature and the prices, I'd say Germany atleast is a must-go.

PS. I thought the UK was expensive? Aren't teh Brits always complaining about it?

You'll go for the major cities and touristic hotspots in places like Romania, Bulgaria and the Czech Republic. So it won't really matter how the country itself is. I never visited those countries, though I go through Bulgaria and Romania at times on the way to Turkey, but judging by friends the countries are good for drinking and doing shit drunk. It's supposed to be cheap and English won't be a problem since you'll be in touristic paces mainly.
You have Greece, great beaches and friendly people. English will be a problem. Hot girls in abundance at the beach if that matters.
You have Turkey, cheap and very friendly people. Especially Istanbul must be seen by every mortal. Taxis are very, very cheap. Restaurants are abundant and cheap (even the free apetizers will be enough to still your hunger). Much to see, if you like history though. Go in May, the humidity in the summer is absolutely horrible.

Oh I forgot Austria. Absolutely fabulous for a ski trip. The nature is freakin awesome. Hiring a car and just driving through the mountains is great in itself.

There was a programm about Kazantip, an annual party in Ukraine, on TV some weeks ago. It was the weirdest shit I've seen in a long while. People walking naked over the beach, coke/alcohol/pills abundant, orgies in front of hundreds of people etc.etc. Google it, might be some vids on Youtube too. If getting drunk and having sex with anyone is your thing, I guess it'll interest you.

Seriously, you have a shed load of Europe to go to, why come over here?

You will get a job, and then find yourself skint and unable to get anywhere else because of the low wage and high prices

I saw things like that in here and in other "woman problems" topics so...... Am I the only one that thinks some authorities needs to be alerted about Saner and him possibly being a rapist and/or kidnapper ?Smile

Yup! That's what a lot of English (and Polish/German) workers do; they come over for 6 months, work, earn fucking SCARY amounts of money, then go back and live off the proceeds Very Happy

@Garus

Thanks.. lol.. I didn't see the response.
