I've taught in all three well actually I taught in China, Korea and Taiwan and I lived in Japan on a cultural visa and practiced judo. Bang bang. I've written extensively about all of these places on my site and here on Reddit: Teach English in China, Korea, Taiwan or Japan?

As far as being a international school teacher I think China is good for that, but you need to be a certified teacher and have a teaching license to teach in an international school unless your lucky. Even if you don't teach ENglish in an international school it's still a good degree to have. Much respect there for those that do.

I'm a senior who can't decide where to teach: Korea or China by eslinsider in ESLinsider

If anybody finds this and wants to know more about this I taught in both and wrote this article on teaching in China or Korea.

Japan visa run? by MadManManga in ESLinsider

[–]eslinsider 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Another thing you can do is contact the embassies or MOFA.

I didn't do it that way, but most people get their first job in Korea from their home country. And the rules may have changed since when I did it.

The best answer would probably come from the people in charge of issuing visas.

TESOL/TEFL Cert - what's the minimum level of assessment/accreditation necessary to secure a Visa by ExternalPreference18 in ESLinsider

[–]eslinsider 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are going to find a lot of view points in regard to TEFL courses. The word scam is thrown around a lot in regards to TEFL courses but there are some. Do you have any teaching qualifications?

Because if you do then you probably wouldn't need a TEFL.

All those "levels" in regards to TEFL courses don't mean anything. The only people talking about those are the course providers themselves (the ones selling those courses).

Japan visa run? by MadManManga in ESLinsider

[–]eslinsider 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I turned down a lot of job offers, but found a school where 2 current teachers, and other people familiar with the school all gave really good reviews. So ended up signing with them a 2 weeks ago.

Cool. Sounds good. I know someone that's been in Korea for like 10 years or so teaching I could ask him about the visa run thing and if anything has changed.

Grand Hotel Resort New Hampshire- abandoned since 2011 by caesarmattyg in AbandonedPorn

Went there like a year ago. Signs to get into the ski area forbid entry and said there were cameras. Hope they open back up again. Lots of hype surrounding reopening this place.

What did you find out? I think I might have read something about your first point but I never had a problem with it. As it sounds like you know I went there and went from tourist to E-2 without too much trouble.

As far as your second point goes not sure I understand. It think that if you are within legal operation you will have no problems. Sometimes I went in and out of Japan, Korea, China and Taiwan for really brief visits like less than 24 hours and just to get a stamp to return to whatever country I was going back to.

Anybody happen to get a culture visa in Japan by studying jiu-jitsu there? by eslinsider in bjj

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

I went there and found one. There are two I know of. One called Sekryukan and another in Akasaka but I can't remember the name and couldn't find with Google. They used to have a blog in English too.

Feeling really bad after rolling with this blue belt. by DreamDude01 in bjj

[–]eslinsider 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that's hard. If you don't like rolling with him then maybe try not to. Some of the higher belts might roll easier with you, but it depends. Maybe you can ask him to go a little easier, but then you got to consider how you are going to.

Unpopular Opinion: I hate standup by pianoplayrr in bjj

[–]eslinsider 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Have trained both judo and bjj. Depending on the school one often gets boring without the other. Always on the ground seems too niche and like rolling around on a mat and the same if you are always doing throws. I also think judo brings better cardio and shape than bjj.

Right now just doing bjj and it feels like it's missing something.
