Congrats Soror!! It's funny that you started this thread because I have REALLY been considering the idea of moving abroad for a year to teach English in South Korea. In fact, I am almost 90% sure that I am going to do it. The economy is HORRIBLE right now, finding a job has been a thorn in my side, and I think I need the time to just get away from my so-called life.
I, too, have been concerned about the experiences of Black men and women living abroad, so I have been reading blogs and emailing them to get firsthand accounts. Here's the link to the blog of a young Black woman in Paris (currently):
This Time in Seoul She has lived several places in Europe and Asia. I'm sure if you emailed her, she'd be happy to give you some tips on her experience in Paris.
Let me know when I can come and visit!!
