It is always so interesting to see and learn about the cultures in foreign countries, always very unique and beautiful in their own ways. It is amazing really. Working in foreign countries gets you the opportunity to learn about cultures in those countries. Have you travelled abroad ? Was it interesting ? Do you like to work in foreign countries ?

i want to work in the foreign country. that's a dream to me i think.i never travelled abroad, but i know that must be very lovely. but i think i have no chance to go abroad. if i have the chance,that means i would live far away from my family. i think i would miss them.

My husband worked in Asian countries for over 11 years. He was there and I went to be with him many times. I love it in Taiwan, Thailand, China, and the Philippines. I have some very good friends in Taiwan as I have been there the most. I love how clean and beautiful the places are, no billboard signs cluttering the road ways. Just beautiful lush tress and flowers.
The people are wonderful and so friendly. I'd so much love to go back to all of these places and go to see more.

Hi friend,
I am not interested in foreign cultures.I obey their cultures because each country is having their own culture.We should respect each one's culture.I generally love to stay in my home town itself and work here happily.
Have a nice day

Last week i posted similar discussion. i've been to other country for work and it really made me compared my country to that country. people there is well disciplined, their streets is very clean. my salary also there is more higher than here in our country. that's why i will have to do the risk just to go back there again. i already adopt their environment and a little bit of their culture. its so interesting to learn more about their costumes and tradition there.

It is very interesting to adapt to the environment and culture in foreign lands. I had also taken up short term assignments in foreign countries, and I was very happy working there.

I haven't traveled abroad yet.Maybe in the future I will.hehe.
I agree that its nice and great working in foreign places because you can learn a lot of things in the place.Its like,you earn,you learn,something like that.haha.
Its really great to travel,seeing wonderful places that you always see on tv or magazines.
I would like to try working outside my country,I think it would be a challenge.Working with foreign people and try to learn their cultures.It sounds and adventure!

I'm working in a foreign country i fact, I think it's good. Sometime the strange customs made me awkward but I tried my best with a a spirit as open as possible to understand the way people think and behave. It's interesting feeling that this world is wider than you can imagine.

I will never forget the wonderful time I spent on a working holiday visa in Australia. I worked as a children's nanny, did some work in a factory packing paper into handbags and helped a charity collect money. I was 20 to 21 years old at the time. Before that when I was age 18 I worked as a children's nanny in Finland. I taught the little girl how to speak English so that was really rewarding. From the high wages I had enough money to travel by train around Europe. So I would recommend working abroad because it is enjoyable and interesting. Studying overseas is another great opportunity and I was lucky enough to spend a semester doing that in the Netherlands. I was able to see the Dutch celebrate St Nicholas Day and so that was fascinating. I did much cycling over there so I became very fit and healthy.
