voila, je vais faire une année de cesure dans les études pour travailler en asie. la question pour moi est, où ? Bombay, Bangkok ou Shanghai. Je ne sais pas trop.
je reviens depuis 15 jours de Shanghai, où j'ai effectué mon stage. c'était très sympa, tant sur la culture du pays, des gens. La ville et ses gigantesques grate ciel, les soirée, les chinoises charmante par leur timidité...
J'ai bien aimé !
mais bon la c'est pour 7 à 8 mois, et j'hésite vraiment entre ces 3 villes.
Alors si il y en a qui sont allés dans plusieurs de ces villes, faites moi signe svp
tu t'y plait ?
Ca fait combien de temps que tu y es ?
Comment sont les gens avec les étranger ?
le loyer, il faut compter combien ?
Pour sortir, il y a des bar et des boîtes avec une bonne ambiance ? En gros est-ce que les Bombay est aussi une ville un peu festive ?
Les indiennes sont mignonnes ?..
ca va faire 7 semaines que je suis arrive a bombay et je reste plus qu une semaine avant de partir ds le nord de l inde pour visiter un peu le pays.tu dois t en douter, l inde est aux antipodes de la france.tt se passe tres bien. je suis en paying guest accom (une colloc) et nous sommes pres d une quinzaine..je suis le seul etranger.bon c est vrai je suis un peu pomme lorsqu ils parlent l hindi mais globalement tout roule. les indiens st tres gentils. j ai la chance d etre avc des jeunes ds ma colloc y a une bonne ambiance, on rigole bien mais si tu cherches la tranquilite il ne vaut mieux pas venir a bombay, mais au moins on ne s ennuie pas. pour te parler des indiens de la rue (en dehors de ceux de ma colloc), le contact s etablit tres facilement et ils st tjrs pres a t aider mais des que tu vas ds un endroit touristik tu te fais un peu em...par les rabatteurs qui te collent pr te vendre quelquechose (point negatif). on s habitue a la longue. si tu sors des quartiers un peu moins touristique (en l occurence ou je suis en ce moment) n aie pas peur si les indiens te devisagent un peu..ca n a rien de mechant. il n y a pas bcp d etrangers ds le coin ou je suis. biensur qu il y a des indiennes tres tres mignones...mais pour sortir en boite en inde il faut etre accompagne d une demoiselle (en general, on va en boite en couple) apres ca depend des endroits et puis en tant qu etranger les choses st differentes. y a des endroits pr sortir a bombay comme au sud, a colaba (le polyester..le leopold) ou au nord vers ou je suis a bandra mais c est pas leur point fort non plus..les boites ferment plus tot qu en france. mais tu as goa qui n est pas loin repute pr ses plages et ses transe parties...je n y suis pas encore alle mais j y serai ds un mois. pr le loyer, les prix st bien inferieurs a ceux de la france ms bombay reste la ville la plus chere d inde. je paye 8500 roupies par mois (nourri, loge, repassage..) ca doit faire qqch comme 150 euros mais je partage ma chambre. tu peux trouver moins cher (j ai rencontre une francaise qui payait qqch come 40 euros par mois en residence U si je me trompe pas) mais l avantage c est que je suis pres de mon entreprise ds la kel je suis en stage.je pars le 22 juillet de bombay et le 10 aout d inde.voila, toi tu y sera pr les etudes c ca?

Salut,
J'habite Bangkok depuis 13 mois, je peux te donner des infos si tu veux.
Pour commencer, voici l'adresse de mon site:
http://www.tous-asie-muts.com/
où tu auras quelques infos sur le mode de vie en Thaïlande.
Pour des infos plus précises, n'hésite pas.

namaste,
au niveau du cadre de vie je ne pourrais pas faire de comparaisons avec les autres villes que je ne connais pas mais je pense que bangkok doit etre la ville la plus agreable pr y vivre. je suis en stage a bombay mais j avais postule ds toute l asie du sud en favorisant la thailande et la malaisie. de nombreux etrangers veulent aller y bosser. j ai eu l impression que bangkok est tres fermee aux etrangers qui souhaitent y venir travailler et de plus mieux vaut connaitre le thai! l inde s est vraiment ouverte et aussi l anglais est la langue nationale (avec l hindi), pense a ca car la communication c est important si tu souhaite reussir ton sejour. tu auras certainement plus de facilites a trouver un stage ou VIE a bombay qui explose economiquement. moi l inde ca me plait vraiment ms apres ca depend des gouts de chacun..certains n auraient pas aime. si tu peux tu devrais venir faire un reperage ds chaque ville que tu cites (du moins bombay et bangkok car apriori tu connais shangai). bangkok n est qu a 4H de bombay. voila, bon courage

ok, merci bien pour ces précisions.
mais le problème, c'est que le repérage, financièrement parlant, c'est pas l'idéal.
Si tu arrives à être plus précis sur Bombay, ce serait nikel.
Pourquoi certain, n'aimeraient pas Bombay ? Sur quoi te bases-tu ? saurais-tu me dire ?
hello j en profite maintenant pr te repondre car je pars samedi a new delhi et je voyage ds le nord pdt 3 semaines et puis au boulot on a plus internet..ca ne marche plus je ne sais pas pourquoi. c est comme on a plus d eau depuis 3 jours. India mein swagat!! (welcome to India). c est ce qui fait le charme de ce pays...tout ces trucs grotesques qui arrivent (panne d electricite, se faire voler par un singe a elephanta island..). financierement parlant l inde n est pas cher mais bombay est la ville le plus chere d inde. par ex un levis vaut 30 euros, un loyer compter entre 3500 et 10 000 roupies en PG. ca dpend du quartier d un max de donnees.si tu n es pas ds le centre tu peux voyager en rickshaw tre speu cher. moi je paie 30 roupies par jour en transport. le train de banlieue c est 8 roupies (aller seulement) en seconde classe et 70 rps en premiere de ma gare a churchgate (45 minutes de trajet).tu peux manger pour 50 roupies ou plus tout depend ou tu vas si tu vas ds un restau americain ce sera plutot 200-300 roupies.
certains n aimeraient pas bombay comme d autres n aiment pas paris. c est une question de gout. tout depend ou tu es mais certains endroits st sales (dechets), pauvrete...traffic enorme (18 millions d habitants) mais ceux qui aiment adorent...culture tres riche, paysages de l inde (himalaya si tu aime la montagne, fete et plages de goa, villes royales du rajastan, kerala backwaters, hampi, jungle...).je ne vais pas te mentir mais je connais des indiens qui n aiment pas leur pays a cause de tt ce que je t ai cite. c est une chose que j ai moi meme du mal a comprendre. on ne peut pas renier ses origines comme ca ms jte rassure il n y en as pas de tonnes non plus.moi j aime l inde pr sa culture, ses gens, ses paysages, son depaysement...c est pays ou il arrive tjrs qqch. j aurais plein d anecdotes a raconter en rentrant en france..

Merci à toi, j'ai vu le site. Mais sincèrement, je n'arrive toujours pas à me positionner sur une destination. Cela dit, j'irai la où on me dira d'aller. mais si j'ai à choisir, pas facil. J'ai 21ans, je suis encore jeune, je pars pour travailler, mais j'ai bien l'intention de faire la fête également. Pour ça, Bombay ne me semble pas l'idéal (par élimination entre Shanghai, Bangkok, Bombay).
toi qui est à Bangkok, pour la fête c'est comment ?
la population locale parle un petit peu l'anglais, ou c'est comme à Shanghai, pas dutout ?
Le loyer, il faut compter combien ? admettons, pour un 50m², avec internet, lavomatique dans le bâtiment et bien situé dans la ville.
Dans l'idéal, il n'y a pas de formule appart étudiant, ou truc dans le genre ?
Sinon, Bangkok est à combien de temps de la côte ?
Et tu t'y plait toi à Bangkok ? tu fais quoi las-bas ?
Sinon, est-ce qu'il y en a qui habite vers Schenzen - Hong kong pour me dire comment c'est las-bas ?
Alors essayons de répondre dans l'ordre:Oui, Bangkok est une ville où tu peux faire la fête trés facilement, il y à des bars partout, des bowlings, salles de billard, boites...En plus ça coûte vraiment pas cher.Les Thaï parlent un petit peu mieux anglais que les chinois, mais pas beaucoup plus. 1 appart 50 m2 dans le centre, tu peux en trouver à tous les prix, tout dépend de quel centre, car BKK est une ville sans réel centre ville. Je dirais entre 7000Bhts et 20 000Bhts selon tes besoins. Pour les formules appart étudiant je sais pas car j'ai jamais était étudiant à BKK, mais les loyer sont pas trés cher ici.Pour les W E à la plage, je prends l'avion, car ça coûte pas cher avec les compagnies low cost, phuket, krabi sont à 1 heure. De plus la ville est trés embouteillée.
Oui je me plais à BKK, il y fait beau toute l'année, les gens sont sympa et j'ai une qualitée de vie que je n'aurais pas ailleurs, en général, les gens qui testent la vie à Bkk ne repartent pas!

My name is Deborah, I’m French. I’m married and have two children. I’m a clinical psychologist specializing in psychotraumatology, and I’m also pursuing medical studies.
For some time now, I’ve been seriously considering moving to the United States. My long-term goal is to practice medicine in the U.S., with a particular interest in forensic pathology. I know the journey is demanding (USMLE, residency, fellowship, etc.), but I’m ready to commit to several years of hard work.
For now, I’m focused on building this project thoughtfully. I want to improve my English, better understand the American system, and connect with people who’ve already gone through this process or are living in the U.S.
I have a few questions:
- Are there any doctors or international students here who’ve successfully matched into a U.S. residency?
- When did you start preparing for the USMLE?
- What advice would you give to someone still in medical school?
- Which states would you recommend for a future career in forensic pathology, with a good quality of life and good schools for kids?
- Is it better to do an observership or a research fellowship before applying for residency?
- What are, in your opinion, the pitfalls to avoid when planning such a project?
Thank you so much to everyone who takes the time to respond. I’d really appreciate any advice or experiences you can share!
Hi everyone, my son’s school is offering him a one-month Erasmus trip to Ireland, but he has to find a junior cycle school that will accept him and a host family on his own. Honestly, we’re struggling—we’ve contacted two schools and haven’t heard back! If you have any leads...
What price should I expect to pay for a modest small apartment or a large room in a bedroom community in Quito? Are restaurants and food expensive? And which airline is best to travel from Montreal? Thanks for your answers
I’m considering moving to Miami to live and work for a few years.
If anyone knows what the administrative formalities are—both for getting a work permit and for the steps and reputable organizations to contact (since I imagine there are scammers in this space) when buying a studio in Miami or Miami Beach—I’d love any info you can share!
Hi, I was wondering if anyone has already had the experience of working abroad?
I don’t have a specific country in mind yet, so I’m open to hearing about your experiences on this topic—the pros and cons, etc.
Hi there!
I’m a young Malian looking to work in Morocco. Besides a passport, what other documents are required at the **Moroccan** border?
Thanks for your help!
Hi there. I’m planning to move to Luxembourg around December 2025 or January 2026. I’ll be looking for a job and settling in. My question is: is it too complicated to find housing? Is the job market more advantageous and easier than in France? I’m open to any information that could help me.
Thanks in advance for your advice.
I’d love to hear your thoughts and experiences about marrying a Cuban and moving to Cuba (not the other way around!). Yes, some of us actually *want* to stay on the island! Is it possible to work there without too much hassle, or is it really complicated?
I’m heading to Bangkok for a 5-month internship, and I’m wondering about the budget because I’ve read all sorts of things—so I decided to post here to get answers tailored to my situation! :D
I found housing that costs me 7,000 baht (I know it’s a bit pricey, but it’s super convenient...), which works out to about 160 € all-inclusive. So, I was wondering if it’s realistic to live on 500 or 600 € per month, and if so, under what conditions? Is that enough, considering I’ll be working 40 hours a week?
Thanks in advance for your replies—I hope they’ll reassure me!
WEP offers loads of different projects, including one I really like: helping and volunteering on a farm, particularly in South America (Peru or Argentina).
I’d love to know if anyone has tried this project or knows someone who has... or has done something similar? I’d like to get some feedback before diving into the adventure.
If so, could you share your thoughts on the project, any tips, etc.?
Hi there,
Our departure time is getting closer (we have less than 2 years left—it’s both a long time and so short!). To start preparing seriously, we’ll need quite a bit of info. If anyone knows the rates charged by movers for a crate to French Polynesia, or what pitfalls to avoid (I know you can get quotes directly from movers, but I’d love insights from actual customers😉).
Are there any special requirements before leaving France (aside from taxes...)?
Thanks to everyone for your help—every bit of info is useful. We’re aiming for a departure around 06/2010 (just need to save up a little more...).
Thanks again!
Hi, I’m a self-employed physiotherapist in France, and as my wife (a nurse) and I look into working abroad in about two years, I’ve been offered an equivalence to become a respiratory physiotherapist in Switzerland. Actually, I’m currently doing a postgraduate diploma in pediatric respiratory physiotherapy and want to specialize in that area. Anyway, that’s not the main point—could anyone explain the pros and cons of doing this job in Switzerland? Based on the paperwork I’ve received, the equivalence seems purely administrative or almost... What about working conditions, quality of life, salaries, etc.?
Thanks for your replies.
PS: Same question for my wife, a nurse, regarding her integration.
I’m looking for information about jobs in early childhood in New Caledonia. I’m currently a childminder in a MAM (multi-accueil) and I’ve also worked for about 6 years in several daycare centers as a childcare assistant.
In the summer of 2026, my husband is being transferred to New Caledonia. We’ll be living near Nouméa. Do you know if the early childhood sector is a good field for jobs there?
Can’t wait to discover this island! Right now, we’re in the middle of all the administrative paperwork for our 3 kids, finding housing, bringing our cat to the territory, and so on!
Thanks for your feedback!!
Hi there,
I’ve been living in Bali for a month now, but unfortunately on a VOA visa. I’m looking for a European company that’s set up in Indonesia. I’m in electrotechnical maintenance—air conditioning, cold rooms, 220V/380V electricity. I’ve been a tradesperson for 3 months and can bring my full professional toolkit. If anyone’s interested, let me know!
You can send me a message.
Best regards,
I’d love to go to Japan to travel, and if things go well, work there too.
Has anyone tried finding a job there? Is it even possible without speaking Japanese?
I’m thinking of starting out in restaurants (dishwashing or serving) and then moving into my field, IT.
I’d like to move to Spain, specifically to Málaga.
To do that, I’d like to know if I’ll need any official documents from France to work there, or anything like that...
I’d also love to hear from people who’ve moved to Spain for work—do Spaniards like the French? Is it hard to fit in? What are the salary ranges for a ready-to-wear salesperson? And is it easy to find housing?
My partner and I currently live in Antibes—we’re both freelancers working remotely. We’re thinking about potentially moving to Italy.
We’d like to settle near the French border, between Ventimiglia and San Remo (this is important because we need access to Nice Airport twice a month). ✈️
I’d love to hear about life in this region! We’re looking for a quiet spot close to the sea. Any recommendations? As for the paperwork, is it difficult to get everything official? Is finding housing tough in this area? What kind of guarantees are usually required? If any kind soul could shed some light on this, we’d really appreciate it! 🥺🏻
I'm looking for an au pair who'd like to come to Bournemouth in the south of England, and I'd love to know what the best websites are to find one, please.
I’d like to get some information about my eligibility for the DV Lottery.
About my background:
• I earned a *Bac Pro* through VAE (*Validation des Acquis de l’Expérience*), issued by the *Éducation nationale*.
• I also have a professional certification as a *Conseiller en Insertion* (Employment Counselor), issued by the Ministry of Labor.
• Altogether, this adds up to a *Bac+2* level.
I’d like to know if this level qualifies me to apply for the DV Lottery.
Regarding my work experience:
• I work as an *Employment Counselor*.
• I checked on O*Net Online for the classification: Job Zone 4, SVP Range: 7.0 – <8.0.
• I only have one year of experience, but I handle similar tasks in business creation.
So my question is: can I apply for the DV Lottery despite my relatively short experience, given that my job falls under Job Zone 4?
I’m looking for info on villages around Aix, like Fuveau, Bouc-Bel-Air, or even Éguilles and Venelles?
We’re a couple with a child living in the Paris region, and I’ll be relocating to Aix-en-Provence in spring 2026. We’d love to swap our apartment for a house with a pool within 20-30 minutes max of central Aix, with a budget of around 650k €.
In terms of climate and geography, I’ve read that Aix is in a basin where it can get really hot. What about the surrounding villages that are a bit more elevated, like Venelles? Is it just as stifling?
Starting this spring, we want to settle near Aix-en-Provence. We're tired of living in the mountains with all the snow—we really need some sunshine and a fresh start. Is it hard to find a house to rent there? What about prices? If you have any great tips or useful info about the area, we’d love to hear it. I work in education and want to do prevention work in Marseille or Aix—are there jobs in the social sector?
Anyway, we need tons of info, but we’re sure we’re going to take the leap—no hesitation, adventure is adventure!!!
Thanks for your help and any experiences you can share.
I’m an osteopath and I’d like to set up and open an osteopathy practice in Thailand. I don’t have a precise location in mind yet, but I’m thinking maybe Hua Hin.
I saw there’s an osteopath based in Phuket, so I wrote to him for some info, but he still hasn’t replied🤪!
So I’m reaching out to people who live there or know the country well:
I’d like to know what the best ways are to advertise and get known in Thailand. Are there any local classifieds newspapers?
First, I’d like to practice from my apartment. Is that allowed in Thailand?
Ideally, I’d like to work part-time in a private hospital as an osteopath. I’m thinking that in Thailand, the medical field is much more open than in Europe!!! Has anyone seen an osteopath or chiropractor working in a Thai hospital? Do you know the price of a consultation?
Any info you can share will be super helpful! Thanks in advance[;)!!!]
Hello everyone,
We’re a small family from the south of France, with a 2-year-old little boy, and we’re dreaming of starting a new adventure abroad by opening our own business. For now, we haven’t chosen a specific destination yet.
We mainly speak French, with a basic level of Spanish and English, and we’re ready to improve these two languages if needed. We’re looking for a multicultural, safe country with quality healthcare and good schools accessible for our son. We’d also love a pleasant place with a mild climate where life is good.
Our idea is to travel to different countries to explore, compare, and refine our project. We’d be really happy to read your tips, experiences, or anecdotes if you’ve already undertaken a similar project or if you know key points to anticipate.
Thanks in advance for your shares and help—it would really help us move forward with our project! 😄
Hi everyone,
I’m heading to Dublin as an au pair in a few weeks.
I’m looking for a reputable language school. It’s so hard to choose! Has anyone already done a language stay in Dublin? Any tips? Thanks so much! :)
Hi everyone, so I’m planning to go study at a community college in the U.S., but the only snag is which one—there are so many options over there! I’ve heard about one in California, Diablo Valley College, and another in Florida, Valencia College. I know both states are super attractive for tourism, but my main criteria are teaching quality and price. I’m open to any advice, comments, or suggestions—thanks in advance! The start of the semester is coming up, and I’m a little nervous...
READY, SET...... GO...... TO YOUR KEYBOARDS!!!!!!!! lol
Hi! I’m looking for an apartment in Malaga from September (2025) until January for my Erasmus exchange, but I’m not finding much, and it seems like there are a lot of scams. Does anyone have any leads or tips? Thanks!^^
