Yes I have been out of the US I spent two years on and off in China, the UK and a small stint in Vietnam in the early 2000's. Had a chance to go work in Dubai and Qatar after that but I turned it down.
I just showed you what's really going on in Russia right now. Do you think those people give a fuck what the ruble is worth?
Tell ya what, why don't you pack it up and head for Moscow if you think it's so fucking great and then report back to us after you get settled.
