99% of teaching jobs in Asia like that demand at least a BA in any subject. And online TEFL certificates are frowned upon because of the very limited (if any) classroom teaching experience you'll receive. However at the same time an online TEFL is better than not having a TEFL at all. But having a BA is most important.

Damn are they really that strict? I was hoping I could land some elementary school gig pretty easy...

>>1143746
You still can in many places in China and possibly (don't quote me on this) Taiwan. In Japan/Korea they demand a completed degree.

However these jobs will likely not be advertised much online. People without degrees or people who aren't from English speaking countries usually have to be on the ground to find these kinds of jobs. So it's a bit of a gamble because you might not find them. The other issue is that they're usually much lower paid than jobs for degree holders and you might face worse conditions like shittier hours, fewer benefits, no actual work visa (kinda illegal but in China everyone cheats...).

If I could give you any piece of advice it's that you should complete your degree first. It will open up many doors for you.

I also went to Ramallah.

So, are you talking about a trip and deed you did a year ago and now you're simply pondering if you broke a law?? What's the actual question here, that you might have gotten in trouble while in a bad neighborhood and so were stupid? Or are you going back again?

Let's philosophically think about the mindset about someone who wants to see how the lesser half lives. It's just curiosity let's say. People tour the slums of Rio, the favela, and there are actual tour companies. Stupid, but let's just say that it is human nature to what to see people living on minimal income, no sewer systems or landscaping, people piled on top of people, and what that means to family life or how that contributes to the attitudes of those kinds of people, I guess. While you were over in Palestinean territory did you have a takeaway? What was your impression from your Western mind? Did you realize it used to be 30% Christian Arab Orthodox, but now less than 1%, before they were pushed out just like every other nation did creating a diaspora that is now 10% of the world palestinean descent expats? Every now and then, the caretakers of Bethlehem's church are murdered or beaten up for sport. Lest you think it somehow "cool" to visit a nation that instructs schoolchildren to hate in their chosen textbooks. No one faults you for wanting to see it, but any warm feelings sympathy should be checked with a little research.
Try this film festival documentary to see some firsthand citizens and their attitudes towards each other, and see what your takeaway is:

I can vouch for Carpe Noctem Vitae in Budapest

Party hostel with events every night. Was fairly easy for an autist like me to make friends. Good conditions too! Only complaint is an overwhelming number of aussies

>>1143494
thank you anon!
although I find aussies to be the most annoying travelers, they really are into partying which is cool I guess

Both carpe noctem hostels are booked out ;_;
Does anyone else know another good hostel?

You'd be fine. I've been to Turkey five or six times since 2013 and my boss is going there next week to meet his arranged marriage wife (he's Russian but ethnically Turkish).

>>1143219

>You'd be fine

Yeah well except if he happens to be at the wrong place at the wrong time

>>1143209
Have you not been on /pol/ recently mate? Just try Mongolia or Kazakhstan. Shit's not safe for the moment, even if things calmed down. (For now)

>>1143090
Eat a steak.

>What's the best way to get around town?
You're not from this part of the country are you? Probably the bus at first, then Uber later.

>>1143138
>Probably the bus at first, then Uber later.

That's pretty much what I figured my options would be.

>>1143090
I'm falling asleep just reading this thread.

Eat a steak and catch some Pokemon. Maybe take a nap. Practice knitting. Read a book. Get caught up on your emails. Write a memoir.

Yes, get out of your comfort zone and make some friends along the way. Wander around taking pictures or find places you want to see and get there no matter how intimidating traveling on your own might look. Lastly, don't fall in love with anyone just go have fun

>>1143009
Sure, why not. At worst you'll die.

>>1143018
You forgot OP is a loser. Youre applying your own normie perception of reality to your answer

It depends OP. We need more details. But generally, if youre a loser in one coutry, youll be a loser in another

I would suggest visiting the capital Oslo or Bergen, which you see on the map to the west coast.

>>1142921
Either go to the mountains and hike, or go go denmark/sweden.

>>1142921
Do the Norway in a nutshell tour, make sure to stop by Flåm.

Northern norway has the most beautiful nature, in Lofoten. Western norway has deep beautiful fjords and mountains.

Oslo is the only real city, and a great one too. Make sure to stop by Frogner, Tjuvholmen, Vigelandpark, Vulkan and Grunerlokka

This is a slow board anon, do not worry.

Waves in Nicarauga are great. Not knoing spanish will make things tougher, even learning a little bit will help

bump for interest

places to visit, things to do

I haven't been to the Polisario-controlled zone, but I made a friend in Laayoune and he told me if I could stay another two days he'd take me across the berm to meet his family. I couldn't stay or of course I'd have jumped at the chance.
So I assume he wouldn't have offered if he hadn't thought it was possible. Maybe if you were traveling alone the police would turn you away, however.
If you ride the iron ore train in Mauritania it crosses over Polisario land for two miles, so that technically counts.

Otherwise the WS was pretty boring except for Dakhla which I loved.

Why do you want to go, out of curiosity?

>>1142608
Can annyone tell of a good route trough africa? Saftyconcern etc.

>>1141859
Street food. Markets and grocery stores. Cook at your hostel if you want cooked food that's not street food. Fruits, veggies, bread, and some beer make for a good, cheap meal that requires no prep.

Either wash at your hostel, go to a laundry place, or go to a wash and fold. Wash and folds are really, really convenient when traveling.

>>1141869
Your post is fine but i wonder why the beer ?

>>1141859

Poorfag here. I went backpacking in asia. If you get a bar of lye soap, usually big green bar, wet your clothes, lay it out and rub the bar vigourously over the clothes, paying special attention to the armpits, etc. Rub the two parts of clothes together, rinse real well till water runs clear, hang to dry. In hot countries didnt take long. Or hang over shower curtain or bush while you are exploring around

You're in luck I check out /trv/ every now and then,
you might find somebody willing in the /dbt/ thread on /o/.

Me and a couple of other guys have been taking pics at the EICMA to post there for the past two years, we can share them with you next time comes around.

>>1142438
Thank you anon.
My thread in /o/ 404'd fast, I'll try again in the /dbt/.

Would you have a contact, so we can communicate on the details?

try talking to people

Lol, white girls will never be into asian guys. Aside from being socially awkward, slightly psychotic, and dress like 1990s meth addicts with silly brown/blonde hair, asians are famous for having small penises.

Honestly just give up on white girls, we will never find Asians attractive.

Have you been here before? I remember reading a thread by a ramp guy. It was pretty standard stuff. Q#2, what's the most odd thing that has happened to you while at work?

>>1143752
Why do my bags get lost?

Why do they call you "Goldmember"?

You'll need to find PKP-bus stop in Warsaw and then find which one goes through kielce, look for more than one So you may find the earliest one

>>1143673
Thank you.

Would you know if Warsaw is English language friendly?

>>1143678
You shouldn't have any problems with communication in the airport and in the city center. A lot of people speak english, but mostly young/middle aged people. A lot of people are extremely shy when it comes to talking english, but in general you shouldn't have any problems finding someone communicative in a few tries. I don't know about kielce though.
