If you come and get yourself out, have curious attitude, but keep personal boundaries (simply put, rejecting to drink :), everything will work for you. By getting out I also mean staying not in Moscow or Petersburg (which are also expensive places), nor among too many foreign students. It's better to stay for at least 3 months to stop noticing the unfamiliar everyday things and start seeing something else.

I second Solfrid! :) I went to Japan for several months on a scholarship several years back, and irrespective of learning any Japanese, it was the best thing I ever did. And don't forget, you can get a hell of a lot done in 8 weeks (especially if you've got more time off).

He can get a hell of a lot done with just a half hour a day of audio. And pretty painlessly too! R. == 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||

If you didn't do this you would always be regretting it!

Yeah, better regret doing something than not doing. The former feels much easier. :)
BTW, that's a great personality excercise: you can learn to talk to people and stay centered no matter if they barely understand you, make jokes, beg for money, get annoyed or freak out. :) 1 person has voted this message useful |
