How To Survive Living Abroad: An Expatriate Guide to Not Getting Robbed, Scammed, Jailed, or Killed

The good news? It's now easier than ever for anyone to move abroad to live and work.



The bad news? It's now easier than ever for anyone to move abroad to live and work.



In response to the mass exodus of the disaffected and disenfranchised from Western countries, English Teacher X is back again, to cast his bitter and cynical but always perceptive eye on the concept of moving abroad.



After more than fifteen years of living away from his home country, English Teacher X brings a special perspective earned from long and hard experience. He offers suggestions and warnings for current and future expats about money, health, documents, and security, as well as more prurient topics such as alcohol, drugs, and your sex life abroad.



Some issues dealt with in this book include -



- Why living in a cheap country isn't necessarily cheap

- The nightmare of visas and documents

- Are foreign women REALLY the best choice for wives?

- How to hide stuff and rip people's throats out with your bare hands

- Identifying the most likely ways you'll get killed



And much more, all presented with English Teacher X's caustic wit and casual profanity and vulgarity.



Part survival guide, part memoir, part self-help book, and part blistering parody of all of the above, this book is required reading for anybody thinking of leaving their everyday problems behind and taking on a whole new world of problems abroad.



This 2013 edition contains interviews and essays by several well-known bloggers and contributors who have lived and worked abroad.
