Black in China?

[Tommy Knocks]

Why Russia? And there are a lot of programs in the world that will give you room & board, you just need to supply the plane ticket.

Yea, but the rooms suck and having a school dictate your shyt also sucks. It's the p*ssy way out. Better to have a school that will hire you and give you a work visa and offer the option of a room or pay your rent. These are much harder to land in european countries tho. Usually they just offer up the work visa. That whole process also takes a month.

Blind run is better, it's not as hard as you think. It just takes courage because it IS scary. You could always just look for (interest) groups on facebook tho, people are always more than willing to help.

on a different note: I go home in 24 hours.

sell your car, that's what a lot of folks do.

nah b, theres alot of things in this world Im willing to sacrifice but my car isnt one of em.

Im going to plan something tho, I need some experience in my life

This is one if those great threads that makes you feel like at others experiences traveling. I've lived in Hawaii for a few months, that was dope but expensive as hell.

I'm fairly smart but I don't really have credentials (degrees). Would the teaching English route work out for me? I've heard that Chinese ESL schools are asking for associates/bachelor degrees before allowing you to sign on. The only thing that stops me from making a move is financial security (and fear of the unknown, but a good paying job would lower those fears).

5 star and pos rep to Tommy Knocks for the informative thread. I'd also like your opinion @Malta, you're one of the more distinguished posters around here.

Nah, that's not true, they don't care, however the higher the degree, the better the school, the better the pay (obviously). Even a simple TEFL (little course) will get you the same job as someone with a BA. I have both.

China isn't competitive like say, Japan or Brazil but is in high demand (1.6 billion people!). People where their native language isn't even english are teaching, like Russians and Italians.

Americans, Canadians and Brits are always in high demand.

Who said it took a lot of money to travel? If you actually look into it, it's really not that much...

I chilled for like 3 months before getting active.

What made u travel ?

I've been traveling since I was 7. My mom used to make it a point to travel during summer vacation to expand my mind and to know there was a life beyond the hood.

Lot of spainards. You have your spinkle of latin americans here and there. They're treated like everyone other foreigner. like I said, it's not 'specific' it's just us vs them. they paint us (westerners) under the same brush.

There is no baseball in China.

A good business to open would be mexican food tho. Not many outside the major cities, it would be a bang.

 

[Kliq_Souf]

how about getting haircut, how is that like?

The fear of the unknown is why so few Americans have passports and are content with living the life passed on down to us by people before us, the same blueprint. Live in a manner where you only regret the things you don't do, never the things you do.

@Tommy Knocks already covered it, but a simple TEFL will get you a job in most countries in Asia and Latin America, and you can live a much easier life. I've mentioned him many times but my boy lives in Indonesia, he works around 20 hours a week, has a decent amount of disposable income, lives on the beach and doesn't have a degree. You should visit a country you're thinking of moving to, seeing if you would like it first, and while you're doing that you can lay the groundwork for moving there.

When I was living in Brazil, I had already visited a few times prior to that. And in my case, I wasn't going to teach English, I was offered a job as a personal trainer @ a hotel and could have done sessions on the side. There are so many opportunities out there for native English speakers that it's crazy to really think about.

too real. most are afraid to jump into the pool. the U.S also does a great job making everyone else look bad, making you fear leaving the borders. they make it seem as if every where is poor and not free. when in reality you're actually more free abroad...


granted the U.S does have everything, it is the most modern country in the world. but you have to live an ant farm life, and odds are you won't enjoy your life to the fullest.

Is it illegal to have a playstation 3 in china.

 

[Tommy Knocks]

Is it illegal to have a playstation 3 in china.

To sell it. I brought mine....then it crashed so I bought a slim from another westerner. I can find ps3s and xboxs tho. Just hit up the Chinese swapmeet lol. they got bootleg xboxs games for 1 dollar and when I had my older ps3 they could give me a flash card of bootleg games for $1.

To buy games...I can buy online from HK.

But yea its illegal to sell. doesn't mean its enforced. what sucks is I can't download games only demos. I'm not sure if that's China blocking or Sony.
