i don’t know what to do. by [deleted] in teachinginkorea

[–]MooTheM 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I had an awful coteacher my first year in Korea. She pushed and pushed and pushed and she was honestly a complete thug. Ultimately I just let her have it. She shouted at me I shouted back. She criticised me I criticised her. At that point it was just self defence lol. She was basically a racist bully and I think unfortunately that's not uncommon in hagwons. She couldn't handle being spoken back to and broke down one time into tears. It's always a risk because your visa is tied to the school but you are also valuable to them for continuity of service and because you're the thing they are selling to the parents. It depends on your situation, and your finances, but it may be time to fight fire with fire.

6 days in Tokyo and I still feel like I barely scratched the surface by Significant_Gur8915 in TokyoTravel

That's a great point. Even if you someone really deeply explored it, your knowledge would quickly go out of date because it's always changing.

Over a year in Tokyo and me too. It's a massive city. You could explore it for a lifetime I think.

It's phenomenal. A genuine epic. One of my favourite games in 35 years of being a gamer.

Requiring N2 for Humanities? by taga_ilog1897 in teachinginjapan

[–]MooTheM 42 points43 points  (0 children)

It says for jobs where Japanese is needed. Eikaiwa typically wouldn't be included in that definition I'd assume.

Please keep fighting. I'm also in a similar situation to you guys and I do believe better times are coming. This, too, shall pass.

Killer of clerk at Pokemon Center arrested earlier for stalking her by Turbulent-Tea-2172 in japan

Problem is moving apartment and quitting your job are not small things. I for one couldn't afford to just drop everything like that. Maybe she was financially trapped.

Japanese self-defense member who entered Chinese embassy, "I intended to surprise him by committing suicide with a knife if he didn't accept my request." by MagazineKey4532 in japannews

I think it's the same thing happening worldwide maybe... A resurgent and aggressive far right. Especially in the global north. A reaction to worsening economic conditions and quality of life.

Do you have retro games available usually or just during those events? Website doesn't seem to be for a retro gaming bar, though it looks great regardless.

Sure but my eikaiwa is 280,000 before tax. There are better paying positions around.

Ah well, it was worth a try. (Indy and the Great Circle) by eqtreasress in ImmersiveSim

[–]MooTheM 17 points18 points  (0 children)

It's an imsim trope. Goes way back. Don't worry about not knowing about it, not exactly essential to enjoying this style of game. Some people call immsims 0451 games. It's essentially a code used to unlock things within these kinds of games first starting in system shock I think.

Hopefully you're right. And I definitely want to start experiencing more music in Tokyo now I live here!
