It might be an interesting experience for couple of months, but i wouldn't recommend it for longer periods of time... too many issues in this country right now, and if you really just want to get some international work experience, there are places out there that you'll enjoy more.\n\nthe culture is rich, people are friendly, but most of the population is very poor, especially in the rural areas. IF you're planning to work in Tashkent, you'll be fine. The city has OK living standards with all the supermarkets, restaurants, clubs, hospitals, and other infrastructure, but rural areas are still very underdeveloped. Water can be a huge issue in some villages, toilet facilities (in rural areas it's often outside the house and boils down to a simple hole in a ground), electricity and gas shortages are a norm (again i'm talking about rural areas). \n\nI'd think twice before going there... I was born and grew up there until the certain age and still go there every year to visit, so i'm used to how things work there, but for the foreigners it can be a tough place. I had Peace Corp friends from the US who lived and worked in Tashkent and said it was OK, but the few that lived in rural areas, while appreciating the people and culture, said the conditions were pretty rough.

That sounds like fun. I wish I would have done studying abroad. The pay rate over there is probably the same as here relative to living cost. Hypothetically, if it costs $500/mo for rent over here, you would get paid like $10/hr or something. Over there, let's say it costs $300/mo and you get paid $7/hr.

On May 13, 2005, Uzbek government forces killed hundreds of unarmed people who participated in a massive public protest in the eastern Uzbek city of Andijan. The scale of this killing was so extensive, and its nature was so indiscriminate and disproportionate, that it can best be described as a massacre.\n\nThe government has denied all responsibility for the killings. It claims the death toll was 173 people— law enforcement officials and civilians killed by the attackers, along with the attackers themselves. The government says the attackers were “Islamic extremists,” who initiated “disturbances” in the city. Uzbek authorities did everything to hide the truth behind the massacre and have tried to block any independent inquiry into the events.\n\nA Human Rights Watch field investigation in Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan recreated a comprehensive account of the events of May 13 and 14 in Andijan, presented in this report. Our findings clearly demonstrate the Uzbek government forces’ undeniable responsibility for the massacre.\nThe May 13 killings began when thousands of people participated in a rare, massive protest on Bobur Square in Andijan, voicing their anger about growing poverty and government repression. The protest was sparked by the freeing from jail of twenty-three businessmen who were being tried for “religious fundamentalism.” These charges were widely perceived as unfair, and had prompted hundreds of people to peacefully protest the trial in the weeks prior to May 13.\n\nAfter troops sealed off the area surrounding the square, they continued to fire from various directions as the protesters attempted to flee. One group of fleeing protesters was literally mowed down by government gunfire. The presence of gunmen in the crowd, and even the possibility that they may have fired at or returned fire from government forces, cannot possibly justify this wanton slaughter.\n\nHuman Rights Watch interviewed more than fifty people in a refugee camp in neighboring Kyrgyzstan and in Andijan itself who participated in the demonstrations and witnessed the violence, marking the most comprehensive research into the events done so far by any nongovernmental or media organization.\n\nThe government sought to justify its acts by casting the events in the context of terrorism, and has claimed that all of the dead were killed by the gunmen, and has stated that the organizers of the protest were Islamic “fanatics and militants” who sought to overthrow the government and establish an Islamic state. This is unsurprising. For nearly a decade, the Uzbek government has cast nearly all of its domestic critics as “terrorists,” “extremists,” and “Islamic fundamentalists.” The government has faced serious incidents of terrorism and insurrection, but it has also used threats of terrorism to justify essentially banning nearly all political opposition, religious or secular. Human Rights Watch research found no evidence that the protesters or the gunmen had an Islamist agenda. Interviews with numerous people present at the demonstrations consistently revealed that the protesters spoke about economic conditions in Andijan, government repression, and unfair trials—and not the creation of an Islamic state.The Uzbek government has launched a criminal investigation into the events in Andijan, but there is no indication that it will include an examination of government forces’ use of lethal force against unarmed people.\n\nThe Uzbek parliament has created an independent commission of inquiry into the Andijan events whose mandate includes “a thorough analysis of the actions of government and [law enforcement, security and military structures, and a legal assessment.\n\ncc

I've worked in Siberia, and the Russian far east.  The people are some of the nicest, most gracious, friendly people I have had the pleasure of meeting anywhere.  I don't think I would want to live there, not that it's a bad place, but I'm really happy where I am.

They work in factories, on farms, and offices. They trade stocks, and work in governments. They work in theatres and make movies and sing and dance. They ask questions on Yahoo Answers... (probably smarter questions than some).\n\nAnything else you want to know about Russians? I suggest you go over there and visit with them.  They have a beautiful culture, and very proud people.

Go to www.nytimes.com and type in Uzbekistan in the search feature.  The NY Times is a great resource for this information.  (Actually, Uzbekistan was prominently featured on today's front page.)

It is a good country going through a difficult time. Socially it is a good working society. People work hard and try to co-exist with all the groups in the country. They are trying to make peace, working hard for their children's futures while keeping it's past alive. Economically, it is a good country. People within Israel make decent salaries. The Palestinian governed areas are another story.

As far as the work, probably about the same as working anywhere else.  Except they have a great campus with an awesome lunchroom and, from what I remember, an onsite gym.

It depends on which part of China u are studying in.The rural parts?Or what?It's good if you could get your own local food there.It's not that good if they only have China food.it depends whether u suit the weather there or not.And it depends if you will get irritated by the lecturer's slang and by their biasness.But,it's good if you are out of your own country and looking at the world outside.I'm currently studying overseas as well..And i don't like this place at all..But my friends here make me want to stay.It all depends on yourself.

IT DEPENDS FROM WHERE YOU ARE, IF YOU ARE FROM ANY AFRICAIN COUNTRY IT MAY NOT ALWAYS BE SAFE TO STUDY IN RUSSIA. LEARN AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE ABOUT RUSSIA IF YOU CONSIDER TO SPEND THERE MORE THAN 3 DAYS AND CONSIDER AS THE FIRST CHOICE BIG CITIES SUCH AS MOSCOW OR AT LEAST ST. PETERSBURG, THEY HAVE PLENTY OF UNIVERSITIES OFFERING MASTER DEGREES FOR ANY BUDGET AND MAKE SURE YOU ARE ARMED WITH AFFORDABLE RUSSIAN LANGUAGE KNOWLEDGE AS WELL. \nCHEERS

It is not good. You should remain in your own country and serve there.If you are in some other country, doing job, you should remember that you should be seen as a second class citizen.\n You can move with head high if you are in your own country while this will not be the case if you are away from your nation.\n So always remember that your country needs you always and you should work here only.
