It sounds like a trick question when you put it that way. Image

Addis is a cool city to visit bro, but 2 weeks might be a bit too long IMO. The women are very friendly, but you might wanna double up on the jimmy hats just to be safe ;)

Yeah, I think we're leaning towards Goa, since we do have over 2 weeks off.

Also General, did you not post elsewhere your working day was 3 hours a day, 4 days a week ? :bow:

Is Goa for work and Saudi for holiday, I'm confused. :thumb:

I just got bumped up to 17.5 hours in the class per week. Image

Still feels like I'm on holiday here though! I really had no idea I'd like this corner of the globe so much!

Actually, we get paid if we stay in town and do fuck all, but if we choose to leave we don't get paid.

My choice was simple, LoL.

Work 5 days a week, but from Sunday-Thursday, noon til around 6:30, with 1 hour for lunch.

If they open up a few bars and let me chat up the local birds, I just might stay, LoL.

Ok, looks like Goa is the plan, and Ethiopia is the fallback plan.

Good feedback from everyone, so thanks!

How are the prices in these spots? Cheap, I'm guessing?
