As my mom has said many times - no matter how shitty it gets here, it's not nearly as bad as Sudan.

That being said, I like to entertain the thought of going to another country, probably an Arab one, and teaching in some private school for tons of cash. When I was in private school in Saudi Arabia, I had a (fantastic!) English teacher from Colorado that was there for that exact reason - In SA working for a Private School/Well-off Business means that EVERYTHING gets paid for you - your car, your rent, internet, phone...pretty much everything except food. It leaves you a ton of cash left over. He and his wife, who also worked at the school, were there to make enough money to pay off their house, and then they were gonna bounce.

So yeah, sounds like a plan to me.
