Ballroom Dancer Returns: Pregnancy Tourism

So many of you readers probably are going through (or have gone through) that phase where it seems that all of your friends are getting married and / or having babies.

Since I spent my 30s mostly hanging around with people 10 - 15 years younger than me in Russia, I'm now (at 44) going through that phase for the second time; most of the people from VODKABERG are spawning like salmon recently.

Almond Eyes just had a baby last week; I contacted Ballroom Dancer on Facebook the other day and she revealed she's also expecting.

So read this and  check out WHERE she's going to have the baby ...

Ballroom Dancer circa 2006

(This is a link to the last conversation I had with her in July; recall that she is working in the field of event management in Moscow.)

1/8, 12:00am
Ballroom Dancer

1/8, 12:01am
English Teacher X
right


1/8, 12:01am
Ballroom Dancer
and its scare me
sometimes)))


1/8, 12:01am
English Teacher X
well it's just hormones, making you feel strange emotions, I suppose


1/8, 12:01am
Ballroom Dancer
how are you?


1/8, 12:02am
English Teacher X
i'm rather terrible, in general


1/8, 12:02am
Ballroom Dancer
im not a real mother)))


1/8, 12:02am
English Teacher X
you are the most natural mother I can imagine!


1/8, 12:02am
Ballroom Dancer
??

1/8, 12:02am
English Teacher X

1/8, 12:02am
Ballroom Dancer
))


1/8, 12:02am
English Teacher X
unless you changed a lot!


1/8, 12:03am
Ballroom Dancer
im fine with myself, this is the best my achievement
tell me about you


1/8, 12:03am
English Teacher X
sure

1/8, 12:03am
Ballroom Dancer
where are you today?


1/8, 12:03am
English Teacher X
oh I came back to (the Kingdom in the Middle East) 
but it's a terrible job, although salary is very high
I get paid $8000 a month to stand in front of classes of boys from country while they refuse to study 

1/8, 12:05am
Ballroom Dancer
difficult situation with class, but salary has to smooth it)

1/8, 12:05am
English Teacher X
well, i live in terrible place, you can see pictures on here somewhere
it's not even a real house
like a camp

1/8, 12:06am
Ballroom Dancer
can you change it?

1/8, 12:06am
English Teacher X
this city is awful also, nothing here, although there is a beach nearby
but I can go to Dubai and Bahrain to have fun on the weekends, so I suppose I should not complain


1/8, 12:07am
Ballroom Dancer
oh yeah


1/8, 12:07am
English Teacher X
taking the girl to Maldives in February, maybe we will make some decision. But I don't think so

What makes me angry, i turned down a job in Dubai to take this job, because I thought it would be more professional because it's a big international company
but it's worst job I ever had
students are all company firemen and security guards who have to study English they don't need
But anyway, only 6 more months and I'm finished


1/8, 12:10am
Ballroom Dancer
maybe then you will move to dubai? i think its one of the best places for live and work
i dont mind to move there)

1/8, 12:12am
English Teacher X
yeah, I will try to get job there in the fall, I suppose
i have two friends who work there, but they were not very happy with their jobs, but they like living there
I wish I had taken that job, salary is less but I could have more life


1/8, 12:13am
Ballroom Dancer
at least you can teach students who need english)))


1/8, 12:13am
English Teacher X
they said it's same problem there, all the students are rich kids, they don't care about it also
my students aren't rich though


1/8, 12:14am
Ballroom Dancer
strange. usially when l meet the local men there they speak english


1/8, 12:15am
English Teacher X
well see, anybody that wants to study English they can go to England or whatever and learn it
they said most of the students there are women and they don't care about it
All Emirates people get money from government just for being Emiratis, so they can do whatever they want


1/8, 12:16am
Ballroom Dancer
ah i see
and you should be careful with local woman


1/8, 12:16am
English Teacher X
it would be nice to teach woman again


1/8, 12:16am
Ballroom Dancer
)))))
sure


1/8, 12:16am
English Teacher X
i'm tired of these country boys
they take off their shoes in class, they hate even to wear shoes

1/8, 12:17am
Ballroom Dancer
are they rude?


1/8, 12:18am
English Teacher X
oh they're terrible

1/8, 12:20am
Ballroom Dancer
i bet you want to whip them all))))))

1/8, 12:21am
English Teacher X
i just want them to go away
the government just doesn't want them running around the streets, so they give them jobs for the state oil company
there's big demographic problem here, too many young guys
(and girls, I guess, but I don't see them)


1/8, 12:23am
Ballroom Dancer
of course)


1/8, 12:25am
English Teacher X





1/8, 12:25am
English Teacher X
this is where I live

1/8, 12:26am
Ballroom Dancer
why dont you rent something more nice?????


1/8, 12:26am
English Teacher X
well, I could, but then I would have to buy furniture
want to get out quickly
also there's a pool here, I like that

1/8, 12:27am
Ballroom Dancer
)))

English Teacher X
1/8, 12:27




1/8, 12:27am
Ballroom Dancer

1/8, 12:28am
English Teacher X

1/8, 12:28am
Ballroom Dancer

1/8, 12:28am
English Teacher X

1/8, 12:28am
Ballroom Dancer

1/8, 12:29am
English Teacher X
I want to finish the contract because then I get bonus of more than one month's salary

1/8, 12:29am
Ballroom Dancer

1/8, 12:29am
English Teacher X

1/8, 12:29am
Ballroom Dancer

1/8, 12:30am
English Teacher X

1/8, 12:30am
Ballroom Dancer

English Teacher X

1/8, 12:30am
Ballroom Dancer

1/8, 12:30am
English Teacher X
America is terrible place to live now

1/8, 12:31am
Ballroom Dancer

1/8, 12:31am
English Teacher X
but why do you need one, better to have EU passport


1/8, 12:31am
Ballroom Dancer
what a terrible story


1/8, 12:31am
English Teacher X

or Europe isn't so generous to Baby Tourists?


1/8, 12:32am
Ballroom Dancer

1/8, 12:33am
English Teacher X

1/8, 12:34am
Ballroom Dancer

Ballroom Dancer

So there you go. For every disenfranchised spoiled white American college kid who goes abroad to get a crappy English teaching job, move into a crappy apartment, and bang himself into oblivion, there is one serious-minded Russian, Brazilian or Chinese ready to have a baby there to take your place, get your steady boring corporate job, and get that mortgage and car you don't want.

Thus is equilibrium maintained. Globalism works all ways, baby.

She must be loaded if she can afford the American medical system.

Yeah, she comes from a wealthy family, although I think she does pretty well in even management too. I assume insurance of some sort is included in the "pregnancy tourism" package.

I went to college in Miami, and the growth of the Russian community in the locales above is staggering. All the good strippers at (the recently closed) Club Madonna and Miami Gold are all Eastern European. Wasn't the case from 94 to 97 when I went to FIU.

Dude, you lived in Russia how long and you don't know who kolobok is? :)

Dear X,
You said: "I get paid $8000 a month to stand in front of classes of boys from country while they refuse to study". Well, you had me at "$8000 a month". Actually, just at "I get paid" (because many times, I didn't).


So, I went to the relevant sections of major news papers, to ELT job sites and more, but couldn't find salaries like that anywhere in the Kingdom. So, how did you manage it and where the hell can I sign up? (...oh, and how much less is a more user friendly location like Dubai going to pay?).

Contact info in the "Who Is English Teacher X" tab - drop me an email or something. Remember you have to have at least a BA plus CELTA to get a job in the ME. Dubai pays in the $4000 - $5000 a month range, as do university and college jobs in the Kingdom.

You rock ETX!

I'll drop a line.
