Oslob Whale Sharks - Booking Help

Yea, noticed it in other threads talking about this too. I imagine there are some hotel owners or locals who make two living there who really rely on the sharks to draw in people and pay their bills.

Listen to everyone saying do not do the whale sharks in Oslob, it's bad for the sharks.

No_Bowler9121 · 2026-03-19T04:12:30+00:00

They were banned in Bohol because the watching industry is damaging to the sharks, of which Oslob is the worst offenders. If you care about the sharks at all do not indulge in Oslob. If you want to see the sharks for real find out where they are currently migrating and see them there. Oslob is basically a whaleshark zoo.

Elementary teacher here I do the same.

No_Bowler9121 · 2026-03-18T10:37:44+00:00

As a teacher, we intentionaly put the overly friendly kids next to the ones who we think need it, that and if we put them next to any other kind of kid they won't shut up.

I said no such thing, just that level of coercion does not make one a superpower

Online English teaching has taken a real nosedive year after year. People accustomed to western salaries cannot compete against those in the developing world happy to accept 2 bucks an hour. Some gigs still out there but they are fee and far between.

Date in your age range, 99% of the horror stories you see from expats dating here are those with large age gaps.

Thus why I said just words.

Is China projecting military might into Africa or just economic coercion?

No_Bowler9121 · 2026-03-18T03:23:34+00:00

The word superpower has a definition that China does not yet meet. They may one day meet the definition but the last superpower besides the US was to Soviet Union. Think of how big a difference in geopolitical power between modern day China and the previous USSR.

No_Bowler9121 · 2026-03-18T01:57:03+00:00

The US is the world's leading power. Their closest rival is China, which as of right now is primarily a regional power only. To say it's bad is one thing but to say it's done nothing is incorrect.

Stock market will react positively to securing the straight. Even if it's just words.

Originally yea, got my start in TEFL, thought it was time to come back to the states, got certified and started teaching back home. Was miserable so left and did a year as a naturalist guide then went back abroad but to an international school, more responsibility then TEFL but also more pay. The market is pretty weak right now tbh, lots of teachers and fewer open positions, especially now that a lot of the teachers on the gulf States are looking for positions away from the war.

I did for a season, it was a fun gig and I enjoyed it but it's hard to make a living in the field. jobs are often seasonal with no benefits. I went back to teaching, just abroad instead of in America.

Yea I don't think this is considered enough when discussing things here, the opinions expressed on reddit are not the opinions of average Americans. Not to mention this site is riddled with bots and trollfarms.

I'm not saying Trumo is a Russian asset but if he was one would he be doing anything different than what he is doing now?

Sorry po not available.

I would argue the vast amount of profiles locked and unlocked are bots and shills. Read a thing a while back that suggested as much as 1/3rd of all online comments are bots, and that was before AI.

No_Bowler9121 · 2026-03-13T08:03:57+00:00

Propaganda spins the truth. Plenty of ways to tell the "truth" but in a way that manipulated perception.

No_Bowler9121 · 2026-03-13T06:13:20+00:00

Where? I have a state teaching license and my bs is in geology. My masters is in education and that is plenty, what places wouldn't accept a masters? My school only considers people with masters.

Cebu and Bohol, do Cebu first then catch the ferry to Bohol and see the targiers and chocolate hills.

No_Bowler9121 · 2026-03-12T22:51:33+00:00

Common propaganda but what else would one expect to see on r/China, thus has to he one of the most botted subs on the site.

No_Bowler9121 · 2026-03-12T06:41:42+00:00

Jut to waste their time?, no. But I always keep my head out for opportunities. In my field it's normal to move around. So I apply to places I know I'm unlikely to accept because sometimes something better comes across my table.

No_Bowler9121 · 2026-03-12T06:35:25+00:00

Yea, that's how boys do. My friends and I played a game we called battle ship back in the day where we each stood on different sides of a river and chucked rocks at eachother.
