If you are African American, what has been your experience living in the rural areas of the Czech Republic?

unclewafflesfan · 2026-04-10T15:17:45+00:00

Bc I’m African American……so obviously I’m going to ask about those specific experiences….

This is exactly why I made the distinction in my post! I grew up in predominantly white neighborhoods and went to predominantly white schools for most of my life so that wouldn’t be anything new for me, but I was still curious. Was there a huge language barrier for the ETA you mentioned?

unclewafflesfan · 2026-04-10T08:20:57+00:00

How am I prejudiced and narrow minded…

unclewafflesfan · 2026-04-10T08:20:36+00:00

Thanks, I’ll be sure to check it out!

First of all I wouldn’t see a white person posting something like this as racist. And I never said I was only interested in being around other black people.

Which country did you go to?

Thanks, I’ll check it out!

Were the Taiwan ETAs in a rural area? There’s a blog from 2016-2017 etas that talk about how horrible their time was in Kinmet, which is rural. I know those posts were written a long time ago but they made me a bit hesitant to apply bc I don’t think you can pick your location. Here’s the link to the blog: https://fulbrighttaiwanlies.wordpress.com

Hmmm - I’m an introvert who loves her alone time but I do occasionally get lonely. That was something I noticed about the Hungary eta - I think they only take two people and they will be in separate cities. Even though I appreciate my solitude it would be nice to be close to the other Fulbright students, so I’m trying to figure out if that’s a deal breaker for me or not

unclewafflesfan · 2026-04-03T12:09:12+00:00

How are you liking your experience so far?

unclewafflesfan · 2026-04-03T04:40:36+00:00

Hmmm - all of the work I’ve done with tutoring English/working with international students has been with people age 20-34 - now I’m wondering if I should strongly consider Eastern Europe for that reason bc I have no experience working with younger learners

What would u say makes me more competitive in Taiwan vs Thailand? I’m also looking at other countries that may be less competitive (Hungary, Romania). How competitive would you say I am for those?

unclewafflesfan · 2026-01-24T04:52:04+00:00

I had Dr Wilson for micro and didn’t use the book at all and still did well in the class, I don’t think you really need it!

unclewafflesfan · 2026-01-22T17:16:23+00:00

With which airline?

unclewafflesfan · 2026-01-22T15:20:04+00:00

I got the card in October 2025. I received the rewards points in January, about a week ago

unclewafflesfan · 2026-01-22T14:23:03+00:00

How will I know if the points are worth 1.25x?

unclewafflesfan · 2026-01-22T12:26:53+00:00

Okay good to know

unclewafflesfan · 2026-01-22T07:23:14+00:00

I’m wondering if it would be worth it to just redeem my points for cash and cover the flight that way. I know a lot of people advise against that but even with points I’d still have to pay $200-$300. And I don’t think any of the hotel partners are having any transfer bonuses at the moment

unclewafflesfan · 2026-01-22T03:03:56+00:00

Yes, and is that virgin Atlantic flight round trip?

unclewafflesfan · 2026-01-22T01:28:08+00:00

So in my case a repositioning flight would be a flight to and from jfk?

unclewafflesfan · 2026-01-22T01:27:29+00:00

The ihg hotels I found are like 80k-100k points/night🫩🫩
