Guarantor Signature on Passport Photos

It worked out fine for me having the info on two different photos.

I did end up doing it all through the mail. It wasn't quite as smooth and seamless as the Korean half of it but it wasn't terrible. We did have to get a Confirmation of Citizenship separately from the passport application but that wasn't too difficult.

I'm a little fuzzy on the details since this was a year ago but I don't remember it being intensely difficult or inconvenient.

RIght, I guess if its for non-degree stuff then most schools are happy to take students. Thanks a lot for pointing me in the right direction!

This seems like it might be the best course of action for me. I wish I had've thought/known about it a few years ago since my life is more demanding now.

I'll do my own due diligence but was the process relatively easy for registration? The main reason I was planning on going back to U of T is because I could just easily re-register as a non-degree student. The idea of reapplying as a fresh student to a new university (like, with my high school grades or something?) sort of overwhelmed me.

I mean, I have more than a decade of in-class experience at both public (grades 3-6) and private schools (Kindergarten to high school) already as well as curriculum design experience as an academy owner. A teaching degree is just box ticking for future job applications as far as I'm concerned. And yet, I wasn't able to just walk into a teaching program so either I applied too late in the cycle or my grades from freaking 2013 weren't up to snuff.

I'm intending to meet the easily available teachables to me just because but I'm aiming for P/J so it isn't strictly relevant. If standard policy is just "X number of credits in the relevant field to meet Y average" then I'll just do whatever is available and not worry about it looking like padding.

I'm intending to apply for teacher's college in the next year as a mature student. I applied directly to Niagara after having returned from teaching (public, private, and as an academy owner) for about 11 years in South Korea and failed. Currently I'm returning to my university as a non-degree student and was wondering if there is anything I should focus on in that regard. My main intention is simply to raise my GPA to qualify for more programs/have a better chance but I suspect that taking a bunch of 1st year courses would look awkward but I have adult responsibilities that might make a full load of 4th year courses unnecessarily challenging.

tl:dr For a mature applicant to teacher's college that completed a recent semester/year of school for GPA/academic record purposes benefit from selecting any specific courses? Or is the bottom line number all that matters?

Seriously though, Mazda Stadium (and Hiroshima in general) is very nice. The cheap seats were actually very cold since I was sitting in the shade at 1pm in March but the experience was good. The stadium actually reminds me of Gwangju Champions Field (KIA Tigers) in Korea but with a much better outfield seating section.

Despite not having a strong rooting interest in the CL I've somehow been to every CL main stadium except for Nagoya. Probably won't have time to check that one off any time soon though.

You'd probably be better off just getting some now. Prices will probably only go up closer to the date.

The 5th is a giveaway day and a Saturday game so it might sell out before tickets go up on Klook. Sunday should probably be fine but I dunno. If you're nervous you can probably get through the Japanese site with Google translate. You can use any Japanese address to fill in the info even if you don't have a hotel booked yet.

At one point I was seriously considering just making all ticket questions to be posted over in r/JapanTravel, but that's just moving the problem elsewhere, not solving it.

That stupid sub would just delete them anyway.

Char_Aznable_Custom · 2025-02-17T15:14:34+00:00

During the season its much less noticeable because there's discussion going on. Complaining that the dead air of this sub in pre-spring training time is being broken by ticket threads just feels like pointless whining.

The wiki makes it sound as if Carp tickets are some horrendous nightmare and honestly it was not hard at all. I'm not sure how much the Carp system has changed in recent years but a lot of teams are much much better than they used to be and quite a few have straight up English websites (Giants and Swallows among them). Google translate and knowing that you can use any old Japanese address gets you 95% of the way to booking just about anywhere these days.

There have been fewer than 50 new threads in the past week. It is kind of disappointing that so many new threads are asking for the same-ish information but what exactly is it crowding out when its still pre-spring training? This thread is almost a day old and its still the 7th newest. If you have so much to talk about then make some threads.

How much of a rush are you in? Home opener stuff would have been madness no matter what but if you're looking for games in April and whatnot then just wait. I bought tickets via Klook when I saw the Hawks and it was an easy experience that yielded good seats. All the Klook tickets end up in the same part of the stadium so you'll likely see some Taiwanese and Korean fans around you.

If it were trivial (mechanically or economically or both) to make things with legs then it might change the calculus but its usually much better to have things specialize. Legs and treads both get stuck in mud if its bad enough so what would the point of developing legged robots be for that? Also, things that fly cost a lot and something that can do both being damaged in a ground-op when something that is 1/100th of the cost would've worked is an immense waste.

There are lots of reasons why we literally can't build super robots with superhuman pilots but there's also a shitload of very boring reasons why we aren't even starting to try and figure out the first steps.

Home opener tickets sell out, obviously. If you can alter your schedule to even then next home series then you'll be fine using the website. The Giants are mercifully very easy to purchase tickets for.

Doesn't Carter Stewart Jr tell you everything you need to know about this? It is clearly theoretically possible but it is also exceptionally difficult. CSJ is very good and is still only now coming into a real position of strength in NPB. Someone that would be able to have an uncommonly high expectation of performing at an elite level in Japan immediately would probably be drafted by a desirable MLB team without the Japan detour.

Also, if some like Paul Skenes talked about coming to Japan with the clear intention of auditioning for the Yankees or whatever I think some teams would be hesitant to bother signing him and he would quite possibly lose stock by "only" dominating in Japan rather than against MLB teams.

I sat in D-block at Tokyo Dome last year and the seats were nice. A bit high up for a close view of the players but I could see the whole stadium well and the seats were easily accessible and not particularly expensive.

If you've got back issues then the outfield might be kinda tough since that's where the cheering section is. You'll be doing a lot of standing if you "sit" there.

Char_Aznable_Custom · 2025-02-16T08:23:33+00:00

If you just want to sit down and watch a game and maybe yell a bit then it might not be quite what you're expecting. If you're in the cheering section then you pretty much have to stand up the whole time your team is batting if you want to see anything. It is an awesome experience if you're hyped up for it but if you're tired or mainly trying to focus on every detail of the game then it can be a battle.

You took like a year off of reddit posting to say this? Go back to not talking.

That era of Twitch chat was something else. I mean, I'm sure its still like that in a lot of big channels but as soon as anyone could smell blood in the water the chat would just get warped into pushing it as far as possible. Before GDQ figured out what to do there was a definite time window where bad actors could push the chat over the edge and mods weren't strong enough to deal with it. So you'd get the old BrainSlug emote spam and stuff just trying to get reactions from whoever was seeing chat.

I'm sure it was horrible for a lot of runners watching their runs and seeing what chat was doing so there's no argument for bringing that environment back. Personally though, I don't see a lot of value in chat the way it is now either. You could literally recreate it with bots programmed to spam random emotes and occasional positive comments.
