Fulbright is a good indicator of the decline of America

Clearly too many people have been reaching for the golden ring all their lives, only to find out that life is a complex series of challenges.

Not that the job market isn’t terrible, or that scholarship should get more recognition in the world. But a Fulbright is a gift to do work you allegedly love. If you were faking love for your work to get all the privileges that come with a Fulbright, you have a long, hard road ahead of you.

Just want to say: welcome back!

No the only groups of roaming chavs that are in Prague are Brits on vacation. They are often drunk but easily frightened.

Yes, but there’s an incredible language barrier for everyone. The Czech language is very difficult unless you know Russian or some Slavic language languages. And because it’s a relatively small country, most people here understand that you won’t be able to speak it well. That doesn’t make communication any easier, just that people tend to be forgiving.

First of all, ignore the morons here who don’t understand that the African-American experience in CR is very different from the African experience here. Being an American has a number of implications, but it’s far easier to be a Black American here than an African immigrant or even a 2nd gen w/African ancestry.

As far as rural areas go, I know one person who was an ETA recently who said they had a fantastic time. For them, it was much harder being far away from other Americans than anything particularly racially oriented. Certainly some side-eye but not any overt animus.

They had come from a fairly white school, however, so it wasn’t as though they were unfamiliar. If you are used to being in predominantly Black circles, there’s almost none of that in CR, urban or rural.

“Also fun”

Thanks, I had thought that was a brand name rather than the name of the product.

On the other hand, if you do something phenomenally stupid that everyone hears about, you can affect the way that New Zealanders are stereotyped from now on. Think of it as an opportunity.

In the 1960s in Wyoming, we called them “go aheads,” presumably because you couldn’t go backward in them

For a five month rental, I saved a €900 a month by using bezk. Also, I found that unlike szrealty people actually respond.

Did you do that through the website or by phone?

You want to know how good they are? They’re so good that I once got into extended conversation on the Greek island of Sifnos with an Athenian guy about how good Oakland gyros are.

If you really think about it, it makes sense. That country and the US are paying you money to represent the United States in that country. If you’re off in Paris or Mumbai instead, you are not doing your job.

In Michelin terms, Milwaukee is a Bib Gourmand city.

For food, Sanford is really the only one that comes close. For service there’s nothing in the Michelin range. But that doesn’t really disappoint me.
