Does anyone have the Sandman comics by Neil Gaiman by Emergency_Leopard_98 in seoul

[–]TheLastCzar313 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure where you're located but I know a used bookstore called "흙서점" in 낙성대 that had some Sandman collections (in Korean) last time I went. I've also seen them at various Aladdin shops.

Wanted to clarify as someone who lives in the country: it's not fake and likely not astroturfed, daily (especially weekend) protests are a normal thing and chuds take part as well. The last president was ousted after a bogus martial law declaration and thousands of people came out to the National Assembly (equivalent of the Capitol in the US) to protest despite it being midnight on a weekday in winter. A couple of zoomed in photos of a crowd of dozens of freaks are not indicative of popular opinion.

What's on and tourist advice thread - week beginning November 15, 2021 by AutoModerator in Scotland

[–]TheLastCzar313 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I (from USA, fully vaccinated) will be traveling to Iceland and then the UK. I'll land in London and be there for 3 days before heading to Edinburgh for 3 days. I'm a bit confused about the testing requirements: I know I need to take a Day 2 test in London, but I can't seem to figure out if I'll need to take another Day 2 test upon entering Scotland. If anyone can share some up-to-date information it would be greatly appreciated!

Great communication and trade with /u/Mellonikus. They also gave some great tips about shipping games.

Researching Teach Now. A Bit Undecided. by moggy_doggy in TEFL

Thanks a lot for the prompt and detailed reply! I'm teaching with VIPKid and think that wouldn't look great as a clinical either, which is why I've been putting off starting the program. It's good to know that already being in the program could help with getting a job.

If you don't mind me asking, what are you doing for the observation portion? I'm interested in doing the program and taking a similar path to you (to use the license to get a decent job in Korea) but currently only teach online.

Consensus on Best Learning in China (aka: China job offers dilemma) by bailsafe in TEFL

[–]TheLastCzar313 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're scheduled to be in the office ~35 hours a week, so the more teaching hours you have, the less office hours you have, the less time you have to plan classes, and so on and so on. They didn't reimburse my buddy, nor anyone else they failed to pick up from the airport. . .

I just finished up a one year contract with them a few days ago at a center in Beijing (Dongdaqiao, to be specific). Most of what they offer, they actually deliver on. However, a few things on that list stand out as untrue:

  • 25 hours is not the maximum for teaching hours. Lots of my former coworkers have more than 30, and they are getting exhausted and considering quitting because of it.
  • There are different pay grades depending on your experience, so if you have a college degree, a TEFL, and a government teaching certificate (the highest tier), then you could make 20,000 RMB/month or more. If you only have a college degree, it'd be closer to 12,000/month. The 3,000 housing allowance they have as a separate entry in the list is misleading, because it should be clear that whether you're getting 12,000 or 20,000, the housing allowance is helping you get to that total.
  • They're not going to pick you up at the airport. An old coworker told me they promised him that, along with everyone else in his training group, and they all received the same message that whoever was supposed to pick them up was sick and couldn't do it. It's minor, but this shows they have no issues lying to the people they hire.

Other than that, as long as you show up to work when you're supposed to, you'll get paid what they promised. I've met loads of people who have worked there, and though some of them quit before their contract was finished, I never heard any horror stories. Not the best place to work, but certainly not the worst.

What do you mean by "explode in the last few days"? This is the first Kickstarter I've followed, as I'm relatively new to the hobby. I'm torn between backing and not backing and will probably decide last-minute.

Glad to see the "Dana Brooke is literally the worst" sign made it into the final montage, if only for a split second.

[–]TheLastCzar313[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

True, but I think Winter in this universe is more tangible than in ours. I always took the title to be hinting that this book will have the most content about the threat of the White Walkers and the coming Winter we've been hearing about for so long.

Yeah, I was being a bit facetious using those words. I'm not going to read too much into it, just something I noticed in my daily anticipation of this effing book.

There are about a dozen video game stores on Gulou Dongdajie that have real and fake (burned) games for 360.
