thanks! although accommodation, food, and transpo is free, 3700QR is still quite low indeed. hmmmm, this oppotunity to work abroad is something that does not come often and i am afraid that by passing this up...i will be missing a lot...i'll never know what's on theother side of the bridge if i don't cross it right? well, i am young...if i did not like it there, i can always go back and start anew.
