I'm on the cusp of completing my PhD and this is becoming a very real option for me: teaching at a university in a foreign country. The world is a very large and exciting place, but where to go?

however, while my brother Jazzy Naphtli is living in Nafir Silk [addis suburb] in beautiful house much like the one pictured above, the costs in the city are going up while the standrads are going down. essentially, the city has only repaired and maintained about half of its services, leaving much of the city in decline for the past ten years now, as the population swells. even as little as five years ago, Addis Ababa was an entirely different place. there were no black outs, increasing development and construction, proper maintainance of logistical infrastructures, new housing, suburban expansion etc etc, today it is the opposite. increasing black outs from power shortages do to increased demand with inferior production, serious decline in construction, crucial flaws in maintainance, housing has remained steady but as the city drops what is it worth? I am looking at citys like Awash, Nazret, Jimma, Harar, or Dire Damo now, rather then live in Addis, because those same flashy La Jolla homes can be found in all of these much smaller cities.
