Let's hope he's done his research well, and not moved there purely on the basis on seeing it for two weeks from a tourist's perspective.
Moving to a dirt-poor country naused up from fifty years of Soviet Bloc occupation and from which anyone of any ambition leaves, when he's past retirement age and medical needs etc are potentially greater, sounds like a recipe for heartache.
Let's hope he doesn't become that sad story the local papers love, the "Ex-pat returns from XXXXXXX and demands council flat and long-term medical care needs are met" as so many seem to do... :sad:
Sounds like another sad story the local papers love, the "postie leaves job for another job, then returns to postie job because he didn't know how good he had it". Oh no, wait, that's complete bullshit that someone made up because they love trolling. :thumbup

I've known a few in my office who have left jobs to work at RM then ended up leaving RM to go back to their old jobs because they didn't know how good they had it and can't believe how bad it is working for RM.

Well done to you and thanks for the update. I'll be doing a similar thing in a decade or so if the body is still functional I hope!
