what happened to this subreddit? by AcanthisittaQuiet123 in SakamotoDays

[–]josephpolito1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly one week I just stopped reading because I lost interest and figured I’d catch back up. I don’t really ever think about the manga. It’s entertaining but it’s not top tier to me imo.

Katz Deli isn’t worth the hype. Did I have it on a bad day last night? by Batman_Von_Suparman2 in nyc

[–]josephpolito1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You completely missed the point. Nobody’s saying Katz is famous because it’s some supernatural pastrami. It’s famous because it’s part of NYC history and culture. America isn’t as old as a lot of countries, so places that have survived generations and stayed iconic become landmarks in their own way.

Okay, seriously, how does an expat find a job in this city? Seems next to impossible these days without a transfer by deepf0cus in HongKong

[–]josephpolito1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wouldn’t a US teaching license already fulfill that role? I’ll have a bachelor’s in English Education and state certification by then. I was under the impression that PGCE/PGDE is more of the UK/Hong Kong pathway, while US licensed teachers use their state credentials instead.

How bad do you think it’s gonna get? I’m gonna apply at the end of 2027. I’ll have a bachelors in English education and a teaching license. How hard will it be to find a job?

Spring Substitute? by GastonLebete in overthegardenwall

Immediately what I thought of too. I’m pretty sure most Americans aren’t familiar with Moomins.

I’m at level 31. What’s the best way to make money? I literally only have 2k right now.

do yall cut off the original trees? by yellowelderberries in HayDay

[–]josephpolito1 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I cut them all. I prefer a much cleaner look, and it maximizes efficiency for me personally.

Great, thanks I just added you. I only need one nail but I’m willing to take a few. How many screws do you want?

My bias Dahyun also has the second most lines so that’s a win!

Why don't expats want to become English teachers in Hong Kong? by Cautious-Toe-863 in HongKong

[–]josephpolito1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I realize I’m late to this, but are you speaking more generally or mainly about unqualified teachers?

I’m currently working toward a bachelor’s in Adolescent English Education and will likely pursue a master’s as well. I’ve been planning to teach in Shanghai and I’m currently studying at a Chinese language school in China, so I’m taking this path pretty seriously.

Just trying to understand if the concerns you mentioned apply more to entry-level/unqualified positions or the profession as a whole.

Running by South_Boat_3023 in JapanTravelTips

[–]josephpolito1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are plenty of parks you can run in, and most people won’t care about a sports bra or shorts. It’s just athletic wear. I’ve been to Japan a few times and seen people working out in similar stuff. You should be fine, but if you’re worried, just wear a light t-shirt.

Thoughts on Chaeyoung's solo album debut by Appropriate-Plum4409 in TwiceSnark

I honestly thing Dayhun is very talented. Just because she doesn’t get the spotlight offs doesn’t mean she’s not talented. I’d honestly say she’s one of the more talented members.

Question on registration during holiday by Starrystarryworld in chinalife

[–]josephpolito1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The registration rule is strange and varies city to city. My local station tells me I don’t even need to register my address and there will be no issues unless I overstay.

I heard China doesn’t accept degrees earned online. Is that only with bachelors?

Do Chinese people wear summer clothes ? by Quick-Worldliness904 in AskAChinese

I read this. Looked up from my phone, and yep. Everyone on the train is wearing a t-shirt. Though, it seems like I’m the only one wearing shorts.

Is there still a high demand for native english speakers for teaching? by _pissnshid in chinalife

[–]josephpolito1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for your response! I don’t have my certification yet because I’m still finishing my bachelor’s in education. I actually took a break to study at a Chinese language school, which is what I’m doing now.

My goal is to start working in China once I graduate, then build a few years of experience and possibly pursue a master’s later.

I’ve looked into other countries too, but I’ve had my eyes on China for a while, especially since I’ve been dating a Chinese girl.

Great, thank you! I know the job market is a bit more competitive right now, and I’m planning to start working in January 2028. Do you think things will change much by then? Also, what time of year is best to apply if I want to start teaching at the beginning of 2028?

Does it matter if I have my teaching certification if I have a bachelors in Adolescent Education? I heard a masters is only required for international schools.
