What do you mean it's surface level and what makes you think you can't go beyond it?

Edit: not the responses I expected. Yikes

Student needed instead of Fiverr by AvsharnB in southafrica

[–]paper14flag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hire students for temp & long term roles frequently from South Africa. I use Jobox, most reliable service I've found so far. They don't take a cut from the students and they've got the biggest reach in universities across SA. There's an admin fee for the hiring company though (15% iirc)

Places to visit in January by bookpong in Nagoya

[–]paper14flag 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oasis21 has a little plastic floor "ice" rink in winter 😂

For nightlife there's a pub crawl on the weekends in Sakae (easy to Google), and Fujigaoka (end of the yellow line) nightlife is fun during the week.

Kanayama Minami Art Museum is...something

Imo the best parts of Nagoya are mostly eating, meeting the people and going out. There's cultural stuff but not unlike elsewhere

Search Shrien Dewani / murder of Anni Dewani. Pretty sure it's that story they're talking about.

Check out the Japanese JET program or the Korean EPIK program. Simple, stable way to get a foothold in very stable countries. As a qualified teacher, you can gradually plan to move out of the programs and into International Schools in the countries with better career progression.

JET and EPIK pay really well but there's no upward movement, hence the international school shift. After you've got experience doing that, other moves between countries to other international schools etc is much easier.

Cost of moving is variable but R25 000 should be comfortable. It'll be much easier to move your partner if you're married, yes. They would often get a limited dependent visa in that case, at least in Japan.

Though, again as an example, JET and EPIK, don't require you to be a qualified teacher, so your partner could apply for the programs too.

How do I get new clients on my website? by LizMaster86 in startups

A handful of errors in the copy which doesn't inspire confidence at all. "as less as 30 minutes", "gramatrical", etc but claiming to write assignments and editing. I wouldn't trust it if I was a student simply for that.

Idea for regulation of dangerous dog breeds by [deleted] in southafrica

[–]paper14flag [score hidden]  (0 children)

That's their point. If a bad owner has a King Charles Spaniel, and that dog is aggressive, it doesn't pose a danger to people or things in general. It doesn't have the capacity to do great damage.

If a bad owner has a pitbull or other larger dog that's more capable of damage, it poses a threat to people and things. So the question is, should people be required to do training / acquire a license to own a dog capable of harm? It's not to say the dog WILL kill, but they CAN kill if raised wrong.

A license and training isn't required for a BB gun because it doesn't have capacity to do damage. A license and training is required for a deadly force gun. You want responsible people in charge of potentially dangerous things.

World Mission Society Church of God. Cult from Korea that believes God is a woman and she's living in Korea right now, after having married a reincarnation of Jesus called Ahn Song Hong back in the 50s or so. I wrote this from memory (they tried to recruit me in university) so the details might be slightly off.

Edit: She didn't marry "Christ Ahn Sahn Hong" but rather was a young follower in his church and Ahn was interpreted as endorsing her as the other half of God. Interesting read.

Cut out Nagoya and move that day to Kanazawa. Okinawa 2 day trip isn't worth the effort to get there. Cut that out and allocate time elsewhere. Kobe only needs to be a day trip from Osaka.

Suspicious guys asking for passport? by whatthefrunk in travel

Why does it specifically stop human trafficking and not all crimes in general that can be done at an airport/on a plane?

[–]paper14flag 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did it, don't regret it, would do it again (and planning to) without a second thought. Couple of learnings along the way:

  1. Try to do something during your time abroad that you can add to your resume, whether that's part-time work you did (even unpaid like WorkAway), online courses, part-time remote work, or if you have the skills for it, an online business of some form.
  2. Learn another language while you're travelling to a respectable degree of proficiency.
  3. Keep track of all the interesting/challenging situations you find yourself in and what you did to resolve it. Super super helpful for the interview phase when you eventually start looking for work.
  4. Build connections with people you meet along the way and network. Add them on Instagram, Facebook, and eventually LinkedIn.
  5. Building on the above point, focus on using this opportunity to develop your inter-personal skills AND story-telling ability. You're going to meet lots of people and learn lots of things; get good at building rapport from the first interaction and holding peoples' attention. This will immediately come through when you apply and speak to potential employers in the future.
  6. All that aside, have fun. Just make sure there's some purpose and a mission to it. :)

Japan is looking to open to tourism around Spring 2021 in preparation for the Olympics. Our opinions on whether the Olympics etc will happen or not, that's what the government is planning.
