Re: What is Parma like
ononno,
i have a Celta TEFL. I'm in talks with thedawsongroup.it about working as an in-house teacher in Parmalat or Barilla. The contract is a co-co-pro 1200 nett (imps and inail included). My partner is from Pescara and so isn't familiar about living costs in Parma, she has also been living outside italy for 6 years with me.
I'm aware of the real Italian "social security" = the family network. This makes me even more nervous about costs of living. It's a disgrace that a developed economy like Italian abuses it's citizens like this... but that's another thread to discuss.
Average rent seems to be 500-600 in parma, am i right?
after bills it looks like we'll have 100euro a week expendable income between 2. is that the norm?
my partner will have to get a job in parma. she is a graphic/ web designer with experience working in NGO sector and architecture. does anyone know where someone would start to look for this work in parma. Is there this kind of work around in parma area?
another question for all is one of location;
how close are piacenza, modena and bologna?
how easy would it be to live in one of these cities and commute to parma?
can anyone suggest a vibrant city with a good job scene nearby to parma?
(i know good job scene is an oxymoron in the italian lexicon but thought i'd through it out there)
tnx for the replie

Don't even think about commuting in from outside the cost / stress would be horrendous . People in Parma can be very cold, the climate is revolting , the local wine is lambrusco .. but of course the ham is wonderful !

Re: What is Parma like
Parma is a beautiful town and has delicious food. Never lived there but listening to conversations from friends who are there, people seem to be very open and easygoing.
