I know that there are no single trains running the length of the continent, but is it possible to cross areas like Sudan and Zimbabwe by train? It would be an adventure indeed!

Hello Canadians,
I currently live in Brazil and I am a math professor teaching Linear Algebra and I also can teach chemistry. I speak many languages including French so that may be a benefit to teach in Canada (primarily Quebec). My salary is very low here. I get only about $1000 every month and as a Professor I believe I need more than that.
I was wondering what the average salary is there in Canada for Professors teaching in Universities or teachers teaching in Highschools.
I'd also like to move to Canada to teach there. My main concern is not knowing if there is any teaching jobs in Quebec. Does anyone know a school that's hiring or do you have any information at all to share regarding my situation. I'd love to know where they are hiring or where I should throw my application to. Any source I can get this information or does anybody know?

Any answer will be appreciated. Thank you. =)

Having difficulty knowing where to visit because family records have been nonexistant. But, want to see where I can go with this as I have a strong compulsion to see this through. But I would like to know that Americans are welcome.

With thanks

If I took enough trains, could I travel from the United States to Brazil? Do any even cross the Panama Canal? Are there any countries in South America without decent railroads?

I've been thinking about moving to Seattle, Washington.I know coffee is very popular in Seattle but i'm not a fan of it. I've never liked coffee. Would i fit in if i don't drink coffee or is it pretty standard that everyone in the whole city drinks it?

We will be staying in Bangkok for 6 nights over Christmas this year, and want to find a fantastic hotel! We are looking for something touristy. Location is very important. We want to be close to tourist attractions, not on the outskirts of the city. We would prefer a 4 star hotel, one that has nice rooms and friendly staff. We can only afford around 2,500 baht a night though. Any suggestions?

She is moving to new york; I already live here. She is on the fence about coming out or living in the closet. She is from a very conservative family in the Bible belt. I think it would be great for her to get some exposure to other gay people and see how accepted that lifestyle is in new york. I don't want to change her, so please spare me the responses telling me to just love and accept her as she is. I already do that...I'm looking for fun things to do around the city that are les/gay friendly. Thank you!!

I am totally in love with Egyptians (I'm no Egyptian though). I mean, I haven't met any Egyptians face-to-face but I'm totally in love with Egypt and it's people. I guess it's all the Egyptian movies I watch and songs I listen to.
Amr Diab makes me melt. He is soooo cute... and the Egyptian accent is sooo cute too; in fact, I'm trying to learn Egyptian. But I'm not doing so well. Let see... I've been in love with Egypt since the 7th grade (now, I'm in college). How can you fall in love with a country? Right? Well, I'm not only in love with the country, like I said I'm in love with Egyptians (I hope to marry one in the future).
Anyway, let me get to my point... I need someone to teach me the Egyptian language (whether you are in the US or elsewhere, doesn't matter). Consider this as a language exchange.. Well, not only as a language exchange but a cultural exchange as well... ♥&&]]

I don't like the cold and I don't like rain. I've heard that the temp is between 45 and 70 in August and it rains a lot. How much fun could it be cramped up in a little cabin or suffering in the chill and damp?

I actually have visited this park once before, and from what I remember it was beautiful, but I also don't remember what time of year I went (in spring or summer) and I went later in the day. I was wondering if it's still as beautiful as I remember (I remember nature trails and a little beach), and I was wondering if you know if it's crowded or anything during the morning and afternoon. Thanks guys!

Most of the swap meets I have been to around here, seem to sell only knock off designer sunglasses, cell phone covers, cologne, cheap clothing, etc. Are there any swap meets, etc, that resemble the Saturday Market in Portland, OR, in craft, merchandise, and general feel? Just wondering, I have lived in LA for 5 years, and I havent been able to find anything close to it, but maybe I havent been looking hard enough. Thanks for the input.
