Seasonal work abroad

[Homerduff]

I'm interested in doing some seasonal work this summer (and even longer if possible) abroad. I already found tons of information on fruit picking jobs in France and Danmark, and they are paid pretty well (nevertheless it's still boring). Yet, I'm planning to do a picking job in Denmark for several weeks together with a friend.

I know that many hotels in Southern Europe are looking for students to work during summer, but the ones I've seen so far are pretty underpaid.

Does anyone know of other kind of seasonal work ? Anyone has done it himself and how was it like ?

I'm not sure if this is what you're looking for, but a few of my friends have gone to Japan and worked for 1 year on a Working holiday visa. the obvious choice is teaching English, (I know Peppy Kids Club hires people in that situation), but maybe you can do something else (one of my friends worked at a fancy hotel).

Man, I want to pick fruit in France~~

That's not really what I'm looking for. First of all, I'm not a native English speaker so my possibilties for teaching are rather limited and I'm also not sure if I can get a working holiday visa as being Belgian.

Also, the reason why I want to make money is to partially finance my studying in Japan starting January 2009 so I think it's better to stay in Europe and lower the travelling costs.

Anyway thanks for your response. There are many possibilities to pick grapes in France, but I prefer to pick apples or pears in Denmark cause picking grapes is so tyring for your back.
