Why do you think I'm scoping them out? :-) I leave for a 2 week stint working in Moscow on Monday... followed by Romania, Sicily and India. The Moscow Winter isn't much fiercer than Canada's. I think all except India will be pleasantly cooler than Summer here - unpleasantly humid right now. India has much to recommend it, including a government that has its head screwed on with respect to privatisation and foreign investment. I have noted a swell of young American-trained Indians - innately sceptical of the New World's false charms - returning there, or planning, to start technology businesses. Since the US education level is dropping, while its overpaid white classes refuse to take a realistic view of their "entitlements", talented and bullshitproof young Indians should be in a good position to pick up the pieces while the US industry enjoys its overdue correction. |
