Living and working abroad sounds glamorous - and maybe it is, if you're posted to Hong Kong or Sydney. But what if your company sends you to Bangkok, Warsaw, or Manila? Many questions arise - Is it safe to go out at night? Do quality schools exist? How polluted is the air? Is public transportation handy? What's the average monthly rent for a decent house? What inoculations should you get before you go? Can you find your favorite brand of toothpaste? "The Global Manager's Guide to Living and Working Abroad: Eastern Europe and Asia" answers these and many other questions experts will have about the cities that companies send employees to most often in Eastern Europe and Asia, as well as Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa. Though the heart of the book is the city-by-city listing, it also includes tips on preparing for the move, dealing with culture shock, staying connected to the home front, understanding the psychological aspects of living abroad, country-specific business and social etiquette, and other topics of concern to workers sent abroad. Best of all, the information is up to date and comes right from the fresh research of Mercer - the consultancy many other companies turn to for advice and the latest facts regarding working and living conditions in all corners of the globe.
