[09:25] <Squirm> feels good to wake up at 10:30
[09:30] <Cantide> lol
[09:30] <Cantide> i was up at 6 .-.
[10:39] <Squirm> lol
[11:16] <charl> good afternoon all
[11:19] <Cantide> afternoon~
[11:19] <charl> hi Cantide 
[11:19] <charl> how's it going
[11:20] <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
[11:21] <charl> your plans?
[11:23] <Cantide> erm
[11:23] <Cantide> to move to Asia
[11:24] <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
[11:25] <charl> ah, if you don't mind me asking, what are you studying? something ict-related?
[11:28] <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
[11:29] <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] <Cantide> yeah, there are universities in Busan that will hire people without their masters
[11:30] <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" :)
[11:31] <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
[11:34] <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
[11:35] <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
[11:36] <charl> wow ok
[11:36] <charl> interesting
[11:37] <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
[11:38] <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 :)
[11:39] <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/
[11:40] <charl> in the netherlands foreigners have a stereotype of being drug abusers and/or criminals
[11:41] <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
[11:42] <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
[11:43] <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
[11:44] <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
[11:45] <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)
[11:46] <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
[11:47] <Cantide> i just wish i could graduate asap .-.
[11:47] <Cantide> the system here is sometimes so slow..
[11:50] <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
[11:51] <Cantide> next is honours...
[11:51] <Cantide> but i'm not sure when i'll start that
[12:14] <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"
[12:15] <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
[12:16] <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> :<
[12:17] <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] <Cantide> i like wind turbines

[16:55] <Cantide> and he lives in Japan, so.. -za isn't really applicable to him
[16:56] <Kilos> ah
[16:56] <Kilos> we have netherlanders and have had russians so why not japan
[16:57] <Kilos> and an arab too
[17:02] <Trixar_za> Kilos: Look what I found: http://zool33.uni-graz.at/petz/umtskeeper/
[17:03] <Trixar_za> Oh and this: http://web.archive.org/web/20120808142345/http://wiki.sakis3g.org/wiki/index.php?title=Sakis3G_script
[17:03] <Kilos> ah lekker Trixar_za have you tried it?

 turned off wifi, used LTE, and bamm, voted twice! ;)
[17:10] <Kilos> well done
[17:10] <Kilos> i gotta take this sim to use fone online
[17:11] <Cantide> oh..

[17:11] <Cantide> so..
[17:11] <Kilos> hehe
[17:11] <Kilos> is the ip on the sim or hdd
[17:11] <Kilos> i go eat quick
[17:12] <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 ;-;
[17:16] <Cantide> i managed to vote again with my phone :p
[17:18] <Trixar_za> Cool
