I don't want to go to army in this country?
I am living in south korea. and I don't want to go to army in here. becuz the people in the army force a person who looks weak or poor or not very social to commit suicide or they must make the person the psychopath or schizophrenic. even they burn bible in front the person who believes in jesus. the everyone who are not very social and look weak really became psychopaths or schizophrenic by the bullying and sexual harassment in the Army. even they force the people to do oral sex in the army. and if you don't pay money for sex trafficking, they make you commit suicide or become mental patient. (really many people became the mental patients after completing their military service.) but the everyone in this country just keep silent on it. I want to leave this country. I want to live in other place where has no korean.. this is too horrible.. why was I born ? to become a mental patient ? they really enjoy to harass poor people and rape poor females. did you see hot news in south korea in the past weak ? those generals and soliders and rich lawyers tried to have sex with teenage female. they cheated and used the young little girl. but it is a tip of iceberg. real life and society is more fucked.. but I am poor and I have no skills for jobs. but I want to make money. but I have fear to talk and mean people becuz I was harassed very hardly and brutally when I was student.. but if I can start new life in other place where has no korean, I will be able to do not die.. but now I am just waiting to die.. those people are same with the hitler. those people are too violent.. even I saw news they tried to burn the penis of the young solider (19 age) on this weak. what the hell is this ? this is the endless hell.. I DON'T FUCK WANT TO DIE ! YOU HELP ME ! this country's gov is more horrible and mad than the japan gov. Football Guy hey you are not korean. even did you finish your military service in south korea ? they really make a person commit suicide on purpose. and even the last president commited suicide. this country is the highest suicide rates. who the hell are you ? are you living in south korea over 20 years ? didn't you see even a person commits suicide around you ? I don't understand why the most people are very silent on it. you and the most people in here are all crazy. beyond the japanese.

You want to live in a place with no Koreans? Well, scratch Japan, China, the Philippines, Canada, the US, Australia, and New Zealand off your list as all of these countries have sizable Korean communities.

Slaps face. Bro I'm a korean and i'm proud of it. They don't do all that stuff you mentioned. And the military turns you into a man. And Korea is not worse than Japan. Read up on your history.

What is your opinion on these options for a great international/educational experience?
What is your opinion on these options for a great international/educational experience?
I graduated college and got my BA a year ago. I got a liberal arts type education and have the desire to return to school for something a little more focused if I can (I love school as long as Im interested in what im learning). Ive been working in the service industry and took 2 months off to travel Costa Rica and do some U.S. road tripping this past May/June. Before I return to school or commit to a possible long-term employment position I feel I need to have a more meaningful/ longer experience traveling abroad. Here are my thoughts with some goals of mine. Any opinions and/or suggestions you have would be great!!! I have some savings initially but I would definitely need to be a budget/backpacking sort of traveler. Any way to make money along the way would be very goooood. 1) Teach English. I really want to do this and am torn between a spanish speaking country where I am at least a bit familiar with the language (but hard to get jobs and wouldnt get paid anything significant) and an Asian country where the money would support my living costs and even supply savings. Thoughts: Thailand, South Korea, China. Or Spain or a Latin American country. I have also recently heard good things about doing this in PRAGUE as well!!? 2) Learn Spanish. This is the most useful second language in the United States, where I live. I know this makes it seem like I should teach in a spanish speaking country, but I really want to make it to SouthEast/ East Asia too. Plus learning Spanish might be something I could more easily fit into my life when I have less of a long-term, no commitment lifestyle like I do now. (?) 3) Work on a Holiday visa in New Zealand. This would be less of a challenge but I think very enjoyable. I could work my way through the country at Hotels/ restaurants or trying to raise funds for Greenpeace or do farm work for a while. I would love to do more than one of these and travel to other locations inbetween too. Also thoughts on best times of the year to start any of these adventures is appreciated.

some thoughts: you could actually do 1 and 2 together. prague is a great place, many people there already know english - so it would be easier to communicate all the while, still having a chance to teach english. new zealand is a great place to spend some time. So - if you are looking for something that looks good on a resume, go for the english teaching first (either spanish speaking or prague or asia) If you want to get 2 birds with one stone, teach english in a spanish speaking country. Work in the new zealand experience at some point, but it might not be as impressive on a resume - but a great experience nevertheless. Good luck and have a great time whatever you choose!

Traveling abroad and using credit card - will bank freeze my account?
Traveling abroad and using credit card - will bank freeze my account?
I'm going to be traveling to South Korea. I'm going to use my VISA and Mastercard credit cards there. This is out of the ordinary for me, so I'm worried that my bank account will be frozen. The question is: Will my account be frozen AFTER I make the purchase (so the merchant will get the money), or will the transaction just not go through (so the merchant would not get the payment until I clear things up with the bank)?

Call them the day before you go on your trip and tell them. Generally, if they see airline reservations from your home to your vacation destination you have nothing, absolutely nothing to worry about. If out of the blue, charges from another country start coming in, they will generally call you at your home number, if no answer, they may suspend charges. If you find yourself with your card being suspended on vacation, just call the 800 number in the back and tell them you are making the charges. You'll be fine, especially if that airline trip is on your credit card. The airline tickets will give the credit card company a clue that you are traveling on vacation. Any problems, a quick phone call will lift any suspensions. Enjoy..

The question should be asked of your bank - not Yahoo Answers.
3 :
The first thing you need to find out is whether your card would even work in the country you are going to be visiting. Second, ANYTIME you are going to be traveling to another country, the FIRST thing you do is contact your bank and TELL them you are going to be traveling and using your card in another country in order to prevent them from freezing your card and leaving you high and dry! Why you wouldn't just head this off and let your bank know your plans is beyond me. Why would you want to travel and then take a chance that you could use the card and then "just deal with it" when they freeze your account for unusual activity they think is fraud is nuts.

what would world war 3 be like?
what would world war 3 be like?
i know there is a lot of questions like this but if there was a ww3 this is how it would happen. NK or Iran fire missile at the US, so the us plan on having a conventional war with NK or Iran. China decides to back NK and so does russia and iran. ( i know that china has most of US debt and that the US buys most of chinas exports but i decided to leave finacial stuff out of it ). the US then gets backed by UK, Canada, Austrialia, south korea, japan,israel, some NATO forces.every country decides to leave nuclear weapons out of the war and keep it as conventional. china and NK attack south korea but japan helps south korea out there. iran and syria then attacks iraq but israel then attacks iran and syria . russia decides to attack UK. russia constanlyusing air attaacks on major citys in UK. UK then sends out planes to attack moscow and UK navy attacks russia. India will then get involved and they will join US side and they will stop a chinese attack but then pakistan joins in and attakcs india. the us will then send troops to every battle but will send most troops to help back up UK and also back up south korea. some NATO forces like a small number of french, german,italian, spanish( and a few other countrys) will help the UK out. Russia will then send some more troops to siberia section and the US will send more troops to alaska and youve now got russia vs usa in air and naval attacks. china and NK will beat south korea. (this will make japan, south korea retreat to japan to re organise. india will crush pakistan but with more chinese forces closing in on india it looks like india may lose but japan and south koreans will back them up. israel will crush iran and syria and will then help india out. UK back by some NATO forces and american forces do well agaisnt russia. UK navy destorys russian navy but russia still have domaint air force at he moment.the US do well agaisnt russia in alaska even with some chinese troops back up the russians. eventually india, southkorea,japan and israel begin to get organsised and start to push the chinese back to china. with russia now with barely any navy and an running out of oil decide to stop and end there conflict. so now youve got US,UK,Canada,Israel,India,south korea and japan all fighting china and NK. they slowly push the chinese back and south korea eventually regain there terratory.south korea and japan then invade NK. China now decides that they have know chance and they leave the conflict. now the US wants revenge agaisnt NK and they start a full on conventional war with NK. within a mattar of weeks the US, south korea and japan have taken all of NK. total number of deaths. 2 billion i know it probably wouldnt turn out like this with he financial stuff involved but think about it if china stops supplying the us with money then you think the US is fucked but then the US stops buy all of chinas exports and then chinas fucked. thanks ;)

United States have one milion active troops and the south has 670.000 and China and North Korea have 6 Million Troops not mentioning the reserve.

The amount of soldiers doesn't matter-Obviously we would bring a lot more. North Koreans are unskilled and their technology is a decade behind. The United States + Britain = Unstoppable. If North Korea goes to war they will get completely wiped off the planet. The United States and Britain are the most powerful forces on the planet. Anyone who thinks otherwise is a complete moron and oblivious to the facts.

This isn't a war between North Korean ad South Korea just as it wasn't a war between North and South in the first Korean War. This is a war between US and China. China has a huge military with technology beyond our capabilities. Our military is worn down from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Now China wants to play at us while we're down. Only recently has China developed a missile, the DOng Fend 21D, capable of sinking our aircraft carriers. Addtionally they have developed another type missile that can shoot down any and all of our military satellites. They have hacked into the electrical grid and have hacked into our most secure computer systems at the Pentagon. They have also developed a laser weapn far advanced than anything our military can offer. They have also figured out a method of poisoning most of the US population. War is approaching and to answer your question, we may lose this one and find ourselves under a communist regime.

my thought is that nobody wants to get mixed in with their rivalries, but maybe China will. China has a leader as crazy as North Korea. America, Britain,Russia have had their shit load of wars these days and i Dont think any countries want to get involved.

What is the average salary for foreign English teacher in Tokyo?
What is the average salary for foreign English teacher in Tokyo?
My wife and I are teaching English in South Korea at the moment. Our contract is almost finished and we are debating renewing it or moving to Japan (we were recently there on vacation and loved it). From the research I have done, it doesn't seem to make financial sense to make this move because of the high cost of living in Tokyo. Right now, we are saving a lot of money and I am worried that we wouldn't be able to do that in Tokyo. Does anybody know what the average wage of an English teacher in Tokyo is so that I can compare it with my research? Thanks.

Last time I checked most jobs in Japan only pay about $500 to $1000 more than Korea (about 250 000 to 300 000 Yen $2500 to $3000 US). However, because of the cost of living and most jobs require you to find your own house... that money is quickly burnt up. Of course if you have the education (Masters or PhD) and experience, you can look for a university. If you get a professional job, the salary really pays off.

Where to teach English abroad?
Where to teach English abroad?
My fiance and I are looking to teach English abroad in 2010. Our main purpose is to make enough money to live and travel while we're there. We'd prefer not to become certified as this can get expensive. We were thinking South Korea but now are hearing lots of horror stories of corrupt companies not paying teachers. Anyone have any experience in this field?

I have two friends who taught in China -- great experiences, but not sure how much money they made. Having traveled to Korea a couple of times, I cannot recommend the people there. (Sorry to sound xenophobic). We were not made to feel welcome, we were stared at on the street, and people even took pictures of us from cars. (Our family is blond, blue eyed.) We found a very "Korea is for Koreans" attitude there. Just our experience. Good luck wherever you land. It's a great thing you're doing!
