| Squirm | feels good to wake up at 10:30 | 09:25 |
|---|---|---|
| Cantide | lol | 09:30 |
| Cantide | i was up at 6 .-. | 09:30 |
| Squirm | lol | 10:39 |
| charl | good afternoon all | 11:16 |
| Cantide | afternoon~ | 11:19 |
| charl | hi Cantide | 11:19 |
| charl | how's it going | 11:19 |
| Cantide | it's going okay :) | 11:20 |
| Cantide | and you? | 11:20 |
| charl | well thanks | 11:20 |
| Cantide | :) | 11:20 |
| Cantide | my plans are slowly but surely progressing | 11:20 |
| charl | your plans? | 11:21 |
| Cantide | erm | 11:23 |
| Cantide | to move to Asia | 11:23 |
| charl | oh nice! you are moving? | 11:24 |
| charl | to korea? | 11:24 |
| Cantide | hope so :) | 11:24 |
| charl | very cool | 11:24 |
| Cantide | just waiting for graduation before i start looking for a job | 11:24 |
| Cantide | and that should be at the end of May | 11:24 |
| charl | ah, if you don't mind me asking, what are you studying? something ict-related? | 11:25 |
| Cantide | a BA with majors in linguistics and English | 11:28 |
| Cantide | finished it now, just waiting for graduation | 11:28 |
| Cantide | i think most schools there want to hire people with degrees in education though | 11:28 |
| charl | ah cool, are you going to be teaching english? | 11:29 |
| Cantide | also, if you want to work at a university there you should have your masters | 11:29 |
| Cantide | yeah, that's the plan :) | 11:29 |
| Cantide | if not Korea, then Japan | 11:29 |
| Cantide | but it looks set to happen this year :) | 11:29 |
| charl | i have worked at a bunch of universities and never did a masters | 11:29 |
| charl | although i did consider it | 11:29 |
| charl | i only have a bachelors | 11:29 |
| === Vin__ is now known as Vince-0 | ||
| Cantide | yeah, there are universities in Busan that will hire people without their masters | 11:29 |
| Cantide | but i believe it's more difficult in Seoul | 11:30 |
| charl | for such a small country it seems like the koreans are very educated | 11:30 |
| charl | it must be the high-tech industry | 11:30 |
| Cantide | hmm | 11:30 |
| Cantide | they also place a lot of trust and respect in teachers | 11:30 |
| Cantide | and education is very important to them | 11:30 |
| charl | ah i see, the "sensei" :) | 11:30 |
| Cantide | something like that, yes :p | 11:31 |
| Cantide | hold on | 11:31 |
| charl | i watch a lot of japanese animation and it seems like being a sensei places you in a higher rank of society | 11:31 |
| charl | although that is probably not so much the case anymore | 11:31 |
| charl | while i was in kenya one of my colleagues had a south korean girlfriend and was spending half his time in south korea | 11:34 |
| charl | i was looking at doing an asian tour, like flying to south korea, then traveling to japan, and coming back | 11:34 |
| charl | maybe even stop over in china | 11:35 |
| charl | a bunch of things happened and i never went through with it though | 11:35 |
| Cantide | ah | 11:35 |
| Cantide | pity | 11:35 |
| Cantide | that would have been an amazing trip | 11:35 |
| charl | still want to do it but first need to save up some money :) | 11:35 |
| Cantide | http://pastebin.com/zMGqQTd7 <- something from a book i'm reading on the Korean language | 11:35 |
| charl | wow ok | 11:36 |
| charl | interesting | 11:36 |
| Cantide | so yeah... teachers in Korea are highly respected | 11:37 |
| Cantide | but that also might be changing now | 11:37 |
| Cantide | and foreigners don't really have a good image there :/ | 11:37 |
| Cantide | i think one was caught selling drugs, and another caught for pedophilia a few years ago | 11:37 |
| Cantide | not only that, but if you're a teacher there, you're expected to be a person of very high caliber and immense knowledge... so you have to be that person | 11:38 |
| charl | sounds like a lot of expectation :) | 11:38 |
| Cantide | yeah :-S | 11:39 |
| charl | yeah but foreigners everywhere have a bad reputation | 11:39 |
| Cantide | acquiring knowledge is the first step | 11:39 |
| charl | lemme search for a link | 11:39 |
| Cantide | yeah | 11:39 |
| Cantide | that's true | 11:39 |
| charl | http://en.rocketnews24.com/2013/01/31/gangnam-style-parody-gaijin-style-hits-the-web-with-mixed-reviews/ | 11:39 |
| charl | in the netherlands foreigners have a stereotype of being drug abusers and/or criminals | 11:40 |
| Cantide | haha | 11:41 |
| Cantide | yeah, that is really the impression they have of foreigners | 11:41 |
| Cantide | but not everyone | 11:41 |
| Cantide | and not all foreigners | 11:41 |
| Cantide | i was chatting to a Korean girl for a year | 11:41 |
| charl | yesh of course | 11:41 |
| Cantide | just 2 weeks ago she seemed to get the impression that i am that sort of foreigner | 11:41 |
| Cantide | and has now created that image of me in her mind | 11:42 |
| Cantide | needless to say, she's stopped communicating with me | 11:42 |
| charl | :( | 11:42 |
| charl | that's sad | 11:42 |
| Cantide | yeah | 11:42 |
| Cantide | but she's too insecure | 11:42 |
| Cantide | had i been in Korea already, things might be different | 11:43 |
| Cantide | anyway~~ | 11:43 |
| charl | in some countries foreigners seem to have a positive reputation | 11:43 |
| charl | i used to work in gaborone and the botswana girls all seemed to want me as their boyfriend | 11:43 |
| Cantide | yeah, actually my time in Asia made me feel appreciated there | 11:43 |
| charl | they told me they wanted a "english" / "white" boyfriend | 11:43 |
| Cantide | haha | 11:44 |
| charl | they seemed to think all white people are rich and spoil their girlfriends | 11:44 |
| Cantide | ah, that's the impression that Filipinas have | 11:44 |
| charl | i tried to explain that i'm not english but they seem to think all white people are english | 11:44 |
| Cantide | so they all chase after foreigners | 11:44 |
| Cantide | haha | 11:44 |
| Cantide | in 3rd world countries i think it's a more common situation | 11:44 |
| charl | yeah true | 11:44 |
| Cantide | but in countries like Japan and Korea, the girls don't exactly need money | 11:44 |
| Cantide | or want that sort of lifestyle | 11:44 |
| charl | although i didn't have that in bangladesh, but we did get people asking to take pictures of us | 11:45 |
| Cantide | they can get decent jobs themselves | 11:45 |
| Cantide | haha | 11:45 |
| charl | it seemed like they thought being white is so unusual they needed to get it in a picture | 11:45 |
| Cantide | you seem to have travelled a lot :p | 11:45 |
| charl | yup :) | 11:45 |
| Cantide | i have been to just 5 countries (so far) | 11:45 |
| Cantide | i hope to make that 10 in the next 10 years or so :) | 11:46 |
| charl | i have lost count :P | 11:46 |
| Cantide | haha | 11:46 |
| Cantide | i wish i could say that | 11:46 |
| Cantide | i just wish i could graduate asap .-. | 11:47 |
| Cantide | the system here is sometimes so slow.. | 11:47 |
| charl | i know how it feels | 11:50 |
| charl | although i used to work part-time while i was studying | 11:50 |
| Cantide | i work, too :p | 11:50 |
| Cantide | next is honours... | 11:51 |
| Cantide | but i'm not sure when i'll start that | 11:51 |
| charl | huge winds where i live and snow in some parts of the country | 12:14 |
| charl | this in late-march | 12:14 |
| charl | absolutely insane weather in europe right now | 12:14 |
| Cantide | yeah, i heard about that "spring snow" | 12:14 |
| Cantide | our weather is also a bit weird | 12:15 |
| Cantide | summer wasn't very hot, except for the odd day | 12:15 |
| charl | i have lentebock (bock beer sold in the spring) in the refrigerator | 12:15 |
| Cantide | i have no beer ._. | 12:15 |
| charl | we had one week which was practically summer | 12:15 |
| charl | and then snow the next | 12:16 |
| charl | now in my region we have been having terrible winds the last few days | 12:16 |
| Cantide | do you have a windmill? | 12:16 |
| * Cantide hides | 12:16 | |
| charl | no where i live there are no windmills | 12:16 |
| Cantide | :< | 12:16 |
| charl | just across the border in germany they have plenty wind turbines | 12:17 |
| charl | the germans are big on their wind turbines | 12:17 |
| charl | hi Kilos | 12:17 |
| Cantide | hey Kilos :) | 12:17 |
| Kilos | hi charl Cantide | 12:17 |

| Kilos | i gotta take this sim to use fone online | 17:10 |

| Cantide | so.. | 17:11 |
| Kilos | hehe | 17:11 |
| Kilos | is the ip on the sim or hdd | 17:11 |
| Kilos | i go eat quick | 17:11 |
| Cantide | well, your ISP, in this case your cellular network determines your IP | 17:12 |
| Cantide | i think each time you reconnect you get a slightly different IP | 17:12 |
| Cantide | but the website still seems to recognise it ;-; | 17:12 |
| Cantide | i managed to vote again with my phone :p | 17:16 |
