This small town in eastern Slovakia is hardly an expat paradise. MFK Zemplín Michalovce, the local football club, has seen some success, securing promotion to the top division in 2015 after a 2-0 victory over their main rivals. But for Americans looking to live abroad, Michalovce offers little beyond that sports achievement. Bureaucracy is a persistent headache, with the club's history tracing through a dizzying array of name changes and mergers over the decades. And the harsh continental climate - long, cold winters and brief summers - is a far cry from the sunny, laidback lifestyle many crave. This is a town for the most dedicated of Eastern European football fans, not the average expat seeking an escape.
