I have a two weeks vacation so I want to spend it in Japan but I don't know how long the flight is to go.

Alright, so I've thought about applying to Nova. I know, it's not exactly the best job in the world, but I'm doing this because I don't plan to stay long with them. I'll be living there in Japan under a spousal visa and my questions are:

1. Does Nova conduct interviews if I already live in Japan?
2. After you leave, how long before you can re-apply to work there?
3. How many holidays (vacation days) do you get? Do they roll over into the next year or do you HAVE to use them or else?

Yes, I realize NOVA stinks, they overwork the teachers, yadda yadda, but again, I don't think I'm going to stay more than 2 years on that job because my fiance and I plan to have children and I'd like to stay home and raise my son/daughter until he's able to go to school. Then, I will shoot for a better job.
My husband believes I can get a better teaching job since I am certified to teach, my university degree is in Education and I've taught for 3 years. I hope so
Thanks for your help, folks.

I'm travelling to HK this December with a friend and thinking of going 2 Shenzhen for 2 days. What is the best way 2 get there from HK & what is the best way to get around there? Where should i go for sight seeing & shopping? Also like 2 check out the nite life i.e bars and niteclubs. Is it safe going out @ nite. Any tourist traps i should b looking out for? I have heard of horror stories in bars or clubs in asia countries where unsuspecting patrons unknowingly were charged excessively for drinks and so called club girls accompaying them for drinks. Should i be looking out for this and how to avoid this when visiting bars and clubs in Shenzhen? Lastly, where is a good hotel to stay?

Is it normal for Taiwanese doctors to not explain or falsely explain the treatment? I was lied by a taiwanese dentist. I can't believe that anyone can be so unethical!

I have a history of a broken family. My family broke up when some of my relatives started to join fellowships and being baptized to another religion. Day after day, it seemed like endless arguments like which is the true religion, what religion would save us and so on. I completely lost this belief that religion could make me a better person. Now, I just simply rely on my basic instincts like what is good and what is bad and that keeps me away from harm. And I have this theory that wars before were created by religion. What about the wars of today? Thanks.

Would we change our character and behavior toward that person or would we still display the same attitude toward each yaper. Its easy to be sarcastic,bold,nasty and disrespectful when we hide behind the internet.

To be honest, Yes I would change my behavior. I think most of us are really good people. We just like to have fun speaking the way we want. Naturally, face to face we would not cross no one the wrong way. Think about it.

well i strongly agree, take my point!

more than the usual traffic.....
its a problem anywhere you go. Especially in metro manila, the traffic jam here is too heavy that you can roll on your blanket and take a nap.
more than the usual pollution....
the philippine is one of the best paradise in the world. Sad to say also one of the dirtiest place, just look at the pasig river,,,so dirty, and the whole m3etro is disgusting site.
more than the usual population...
there may be a lot of vacant land, still we can't change the fact htta our country is over populated.
more than the usual poverty.....
there are a lot of people in our country that are below the poverty line, just like me( 50,000 is the minimun income to live a normal life). Some of our people suffer from starvation, eating even cartoons,.
more than the usual crime....
in the philippines, you can witness all kind of crimes...

So many times I've seen Filipinos look so high at foreigners, that we as a people almost always fall head over heels towards foreign (especially American) products and foreigners themselves and sometimes to the point that we are easily tricked by them. A perfect sign of colonial mentality.

But at the same time, when we as a people try to emulate other countries' success, we criticise ourselves by saying that it's shameful or "nakakahiya" and that we would just fail because only foreigners can do it. A perfect example of crab mentality, hypocrisy, and lack of pride.

Now I ask , when and how will this end?
