About
i don't really like the term "expat" , which defines people working for their homeland's companies overseas .
i am an immigrant , i've fled France , fled E.U's nightmare , it wasn't for fun , but i had to do it and seems everyday i was right .
i am very thankfull for russia AND russians for welcoming me , it is not easy , i have to endure paper work , learn russian , work hard but i don't regret my choice after all [i have doubts sometimes ... but after all this was the best decision]
why russia ?
first because of great statistics about employment and cost of life .
then once there , i've just felt in love with the country and the people ; the great surprise was the people , they are not cold as it is been said , they are just very polite , not intrusive , well educated , i don't want to live somewhere else anymore .
and i wish i could become russian myself , i know it is possible .
the interest and advantage of emmigrating to russia is you can (re)start from zero/from the bottom and climb with hard work , you're not hammered by taxes like in EU , and there are so much opportunities to grab .
_and as i am from France , administration is not problem , everything is fine . food is organic per default , healthcare is free , you have everything and even more .
try it love it .
