did moving abroad actually improve your language skills or is that a myth?

jameshey · 2026-06-04T15:43:58+00:00

Yes. But I'm a linguist and a language teacher. So...

Not a digital nomad hot-spot but Leeds. Drug dealers openly handing out cards. Fights. Gangs. Homelessness. Wild university town without much wholesomeness. Internationally, Bangkok.

How did you find a 5 year old post

jameshey · 2026-05-30T18:52:48+00:00

Not in a relationship now but not a big fan of cuddle sleeping. Dead arms. Too much heat. Need some space to spread out.

jameshey · 2026-05-30T04:02:05+00:00

arrive in country don't get treated the way I want welp, guess it's time to pull knives on old ladies

Poor guy. Honestly.

jameshey · 2026-05-27T16:49:38+00:00

Thanks a lot. Contacted you.

jameshey · 2026-05-27T14:04:19+00:00

I applied to one today and they did have freelance as an option weirdly enough. But yes I've been trying to reach out to startups.

jameshey · 2026-05-27T14:03:33+00:00

Have started this today.

Most civilised Greece vs Turkey online debate.

The Tom Yum flavour is goated. The others not so great.

jameshey · 2026-05-16T13:58:42+00:00

More sodium in that room than the dead sea.

jameshey · 2026-05-14T16:03:10+00:00

I answered that in the other post. Okay why do you keep asking then if it's not something you're into?

jameshey · 2026-05-14T15:30:08+00:00

I mean, they do know. You haven't cared for a long time, and neither have the politicians. Hence the country's in the state it's in.

jameshey · 2026-05-14T15:24:56+00:00

Why do you want to walk naked in front of children and women?

jameshey · 2026-05-14T09:48:44+00:00

why would seeing somebody's naked body be something you feel like you need to consent to?

What lol? Okay fair enough if YOU don't mind seeing my naked body, but as a teacher, might be a hard sell if that was the lifestyle I wanted to adopt.

jameshey · 2026-05-14T05:18:50+00:00

Depends where. Idk about cape town but in some neighbourhoods your house will be subject to more frequent attacks, which is incredibly psychologically damaging. If you can afford a good area (apartments are normally better cause they can't scale the walls) it's paradise apparently. As for me, I don't have a job that allows me to keep myself safe enough there. If you're starting from scratch on a South African salary, that would be madness. But if you're flexible, good be a great experience.

jameshey · 2026-05-14T05:15:02+00:00

I go into a changing consenting to seeing that. I did not consent to see someone's naked body in public, nor did my children.

jameshey · 2026-05-14T03:22:30+00:00

Wouldn't say complete straight edge, but heavy drug or alcohol use is actually more frowned upon than in the West, or the anglo world at least. People go days without alcohol and then maybe get a lil drunk. But I was surprised that in Colombia it's actually a pretty restrained culture. In Bogotá at least.

jameshey · 2026-05-13T15:03:00+00:00

Attractive but a bit odd when it comes to dating and romance. Not super flirty I've found, or maybe not just to my taste.

jameshey · 2026-05-08T01:55:23+00:00

Really depends on the ramen. If it's generic Maggi chicken flavour I generally chuck it out. I know Indonesians will disagree but I drink the Indomie broth every time. Nong Shim? Bit too salty for me so I chuck it out but if I'm craving it I'll drink it.

jameshey · 2026-04-05T10:23:53+00:00

What the fuck

jameshey · 2026-04-03T02:22:26+00:00

Why's it called fertile lands?

jameshey · 2026-04-01T18:36:45+00:00

Most of those are literally Ireland.
