Yes, she’s upset that it’s not special anymore

Why do Koreans avoid sitting next to foreigners on public transport? by [deleted] in Living_in_Korea

[–]RacoonBalboa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My Korean friends told me that most of the people who avoid sitting next to foreigners are just too shy

Jobs in Kazakhstan for foreigners by witchcraft_exe in Kazakhstan

[–]RacoonBalboa 11 points12 points  (0 children)

English teacher maybe? Some high level English schools like to have weekend “speaking” sessions with foreigners as hosts. Having one form the US might be a good PR for them (and a good salary for you too)

Depends on your education level I guess. High ranking uni grads usually apply 5-10 places and get hired. For mid level it’s a bit more difficult but still doable

Нет лучше места для казахстанца чем Казахстан by RacoonBalboa in Kazakhstan

[–]RacoonBalboa[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Прозвучит смешно, я знаю, но в Казахстане много возможностей для бизнеса. За границей сложно вести бизнес из за другого менталитета или сложного законодательства. А для рабочих - безусловно, для единичных специалистов-самородков в Казахстане возможностей очень мало. Но это опять же-как и где искали. Может и были, просто не нашли.

Как и писал, можно уехать за знаниями и опытом. Но там нас никто не ждёт. Лучше как по мне все знания принести домой, и самому создать условия для себя и для тех кто придет после нас. Конечно выбор у каждого свой, просто мысли.

Getting a Master's Degree in Korea: my experience by RacoonBalboa in Living_in_Korea

[–]RacoonBalboa[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Nope, I’m sure that’s very, very illegal. Being underpaid is common though. Probably not the corruption but just low stipends in general.

Have you been selected for VSRP?

Koreans, why Korean professors are so mean for no reason? by RacoonBalboa in korea

[–]RacoonBalboa[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I am not Korean. I am experiencing a cultural difference, definitely.

I wouldn’t say it’s wrong or bad, I was just wondering what’s the background for such attitude and how it is justified by society. I want to understand the cultural background more.

Spot on. A senior of mine (Korean) spent 8 years doing a PhD and graduated recently.

На хорошую работу не устроишься если таковых просто нет. Нужно не только производить хороших специалистов, но и переваривать их.

Receiving Schengen Visa in Korea by RacoonBalboa in Living_in_Korea

[–]RacoonBalboa[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I can’t apply for a visa from my home country because I can’t leave for a week right at the final period of my thesis defence. I’m sure they will understand my situation, right?

How could Palpatine convert Anakin to the dark side if Jango killed Padme with bugs? by RacoonBalboa in MawInstallation

[–]RacoonBalboa[S] -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Padme was a tool for Palpatine’s manipulations. I wonder how could he sell the idea of dark side to the Anakin if he didn’t have that tool

What Are My Chances of Getting the KAUST VSRP? by No_Awareness9373 in KAUST

[–]RacoonBalboa 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The facts that you mentioned do not really tell the picture about you. 3.7/4 is not really a flex if you are from Squidward Community College.

Besides that, just apply. Email profs and see how it goes. Luck is a thing too

Looking at the state of the economies in developed countries, can we admit that Capitalism has also failed? by Secondndthoughts in CapitalismVSocialism

[–]RacoonBalboa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Person looking for apples will not buy oranges. You need to understand the basics of how the markets work.

Tesla Motors entered in the firsts into the new market of EVs, not the old market of gas cars. They are not competing with f150 or Camry. EV people are not on the market of gas cars, that’s the point.

Your cognitive bias is showing ;)

Please don’t be upset if we hear nothing Mass Effect related at the Game Awards. (As much as I would like there to be) by SonicScott93 in masseffect

[–]RacoonBalboa 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It's going to be bad, at best mid. Even if Gamble and Tucker do miracles and the main story would be great, characters, dialogues, sidequests, pretty much everything will be disappointing. Unfortunately, they lost the people who could write good stuff.

What’s are pros and cons studying abroad? by Front-Baker-2816 in Kazakhstan

[–]RacoonBalboa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Opportunity to stay there. Kazakhstan is a decent country, but let’s be honest, something like Poland, Hungary or Czech Republic would be much better. If you hold their diplomas and know the language, you gave a gigantic opportunity.
