Well I decided it is too much work,for not enough money.

So I found a job as a teacher in law, at the faculty of law of Bucarest (Romania)...

Of course, I don't speak romanian at all, it wouldn't be funny if I did! I'll teach in french and english. I'll stay there 1 or 2 years.

After that, the crisis will hopefully be over and I'll look at the possibilities.

I'm very happy about this new job, will be an awesome experience I think. Starting in September.

Congrats man!

And we all can only wish you the best of luck!!

Wow! now that's something !
Best of luck mate... But you will sell your current house and car in france or?
And good luck with the Romanian language

Thanks!

I only have a flat, and already fount smbdy to rent it.

As far as my SLC is concerned, I'll let it de-rust completely (dismantling it, replacing all rusted parts, put a protective substance against rust, and then repainting it with the original color), and then my parents are gonna keep it for me.

I can't sell it. No way. So, as i can't take it with me to Romania, it's the opportunity to give it a pristine condition, so that when i'm back, it's stunningly splendid! 'Cause it starts to rust a bit at some places. It's the only problem these cars have, they tend to rust.

As far the romanian language is concerned, yes I'll learn it. Already started to, it doesn't seem that complicated.

It's an adventure! I love that.

That indeed sounds like an adventure! I had no idea French language was so widely understood in Romania. You learn new things every day.
As a fresh EU member state I'm sure there are a lot of ambitious and motivated young students in Romania who really want to learn so I think teaching there will be a great experience for you . I wish you good luck, Amaury!

Does anybody have here have a Zune? I'm thinking about getting a Zune HD when they come out and I want more info on how the Zune's music thing works. I know you pay monthly but do you pay for a year of can you pay for say... every other month? Also if can you download music if you haven't already paid $15 and will it automatically bill you once a purchase is made?

Thank you!

Yeah, Romania and France were "closely" linked in the past, there are always been many exchanges between them. There is a strong francophony in Romania, and so French is quite popular there.
And Romania is a very dynamic country, so I think I'll have a good time there.

I never teached, so it's a whole new job in a whole new country with a whole new language... Sounds like a great deal of sweat, but also a great deal of fun!! The latter being my ultimate goal in life...

Keeping on the topic of jobs, I have another interview tomorrow! (Ive not heard back from Halfords yet)

But this place is a bit less dignified....

I'm gong for an interview with MacDonalds! For a 16year old the pay is good, so I can't really complain..

Wish me luck (again, I will need it!)

"You can't get a car until you have a job"
