Not much to say really.

I lived/worked in Cairo for a few years, it was a waste of my time. I also lived/worked in Moscow for a few years after flying in every week for a year or so, it was an even bigger waste of my time. Didn't help that I didn't really feel welcome in either place.

Flying in every week ?
Goddamn. Hope they covered flight costs.

Of course they cover that.

Monday meetings at HQ, straight to airport around 4pm, tuesday-friday work there, fri night / sat morning fly back. I've had worse schedules where you fly 6-8 flights per week.
