    Why do you think that you didn't learn as much in Asia compared to in London/Europe?

    Do you speak (even barely) any foreign languages? If you do, I'd look at opportunities to go to those countries. Big business looks for people with international savvy and some indicator of an ability to handle cross-cultural stuff. Going to London might be good for a business education, but you won't be stepping out as much as if you went to Germany or Taiwan or something.

    At the same time, it's going to hurt living somewhere you don't speak the language at all.

    Hmm, Canada?

    We have some good business schools. The Richard Ivey School of Business at the University of Western Ontario is very well-known world-wide (my school and my program, haha). Queens' Commerce, Toronto Commerce and Schulich School of Business at York University are also good.

    Also, if you go to U of Toronto or York U which are both in Toronto, you access pretty much cultures from all over the world! :p


    On a serious note though, I'd say Singapore is the best in Asia. There's a lot more joint-businesses with Singapore and China and Singapore is English-speaking which would make it easy for you to adapt. The National University of Singapore is a great university and it's loads of fun there. Plus, you go to anywhere in Asia pretty much in less than 4 hours of flying and Australia in 2.

    Well maybe it was just the school that I went to, they had this stupid rule where we could not get our papers back after final exams. So basically we had to accept the mark they gave us without knowing where we made our mistakes.

    I'm studying abroad in France this summer through my law school. Didn't want to pass up the opportunity again since I couldn't do it in undergrad.

    I was there as well. Highly recommended it. Also spent a year in Copenhagen. Both places are very nice for finding a broad. A found my broad in Spain and ended up living with her in Switzerland.

    Hong Kong. Not very expensive living here. A McDonald's meal costs about 3-4 USD. If living off campus, a small apartment is attainable at about 500-600 dollars a month. Common folks' English level is a lot higher than Tokyo or Korea. Warm weather, just like Houston. Get to Shenzhen's border, a very underrated big city in Mainland China in an hour or so. Oh yeah, the time zone is right to watch Rockets games live in the morning.
