| Georgl | any thoughts on running gnome3 on 12.10? anybody doing that? | 08:02 |
| Cantide | hi '-' | 08:02 |
| Kilos | hi Cantide | 08:02 |
| Cantide | hey Kilos :) | 08:02 |
| magespawn | looks like it is down | 08:02 |
| Cantide | i mean yo yo yo Kilos my man >.< | 08:03 |
| Kilos | hehe | 08:03 |
| Cantide | sorry, my slang is weak today | 08:03 |
| Cantide | magespawn, yeah :/ | 08:03 |
| magespawn | Cantide: how the travel plans? | 08:06 |
| Cantide | still working on it | 08:06 |
| Cantide | went to the police station to get police clearance earlier, and they said i have to come on a weekday -.- | 08:06 |
| Cantide | so now i need to see when i can get time off work | 08:07 |
| magespawn | serving the people as always | 08:07 |
| Cantide | hehehe | 08:07 |
| Kilos | what a schlep that is | 08:07 |
| Cantide | the policeman was quite strange as well, "Sorry bru, you can't get it now. Come back on Monday" | 08:08 |
| Kilos | he is just lazy | 08:08 |
| Cantide | really? you talk to people with slang when you're a policeman? and he wasn't polite about it at all | 08:08 |
| Cantide | quite rude actually | 08:08 |
| Cantide | yeah, maybe that, too :p | 08:08 |
| Cantide | magespawn, and my interview is on Monday, so I have to wait and see what happens there first anyway :p | 08:08 |
| magespawn | interview for a job? | 08:10 |
| Cantide | yup | 08:11 |
| Cantide | via Skype, because the company is in Korea | 08:11 |
| magespawn | here? or there? | 08:11 |
| magespawn | ahh right that makes sense | 08:11 |
| Cantide | yeah, one must arrange a job first because the visa is through the employer | 08:11 |
| magespawn | seemed a bit odd to go for a job interview when you are making plans to leave | 08:11 |
| Cantide | :p | 08:11 |
| magespawn | was not on the same page there for a bit | 08:13 |
| Cantide | i should have explained it better :) | 08:14 |
| magespawn | no worries | 08:14 |
| Cantide | but yeah, the job is quite nice :) | 08:14 |
| Cantide | if i get it | 08:14 |
| magespawn | well good luck then | 08:14 |
| Cantide | thanks '-'v | 08:15 |
| Cantide | my webcam is so kak, i will just blame Africa | 08:15 |
| Kilos | hi georgelappies | 08:18 |
| magespawn | Cantide: what will you be doing there? | 08:22 |
| Cantide | teaching English '< | 08:22 |
| magespawn | cool you enjoy teaching? | 08:23 |
| Cantide | http://www.jobpagoda.com/en/pagoda/infocenter/faq03.jsp this place | 08:24 |
| Cantide | yeah, it's fun :) | 08:24 |
| georgelappies | hiya Kilos, how is things this morning? | 08:25 |
| Cantide | difficult to start out, but after 3 months i was enjoying it a lot :) because by that point i knew the curriculum well and i was a lot more confident than when i started | 08:25 |
| Kilos | good ty georgelappies and you? | 08:25 |
| magespawn | i am not sure i could stand all the frustration teachers here have to deal with | 08:25 |
| Cantide | frustration? | 08:25 |
| Kilos | we got both georges here today | 08:25 |
| magespawn | the dep of education, the have insane adminfrom what i understand | 08:26 |
| Cantide | i think teaching is one of the most rewarding jobs | 08:26 |
| Kilos | haha Cantide you will have to forget all the slang | 08:26 |
| Cantide | ah, well of course that varies depending on where you teach :p | 08:26 |
| Cantide | Kilos, I barely use slang so I will be fine :P | 08:26 |
| Kilos | but they most likely know it all already | 08:26 |
| Cantide | not South African slang they don't :P | 08:26 |
| Cantide | students are curious about slang, and it helps them to function in the real world, but yeah, i'd not something i'd teach unless asked | 08:27 |
| Kilos | they will most likely "hey" you when you say morning class | 08:27 |
| Cantide | it's not * | 08:27 |
| Cantide | nah, Koreans have too much respect for that | 08:27 |
| Kilos | ah | 08:27 |
| Cantide | teachers are idolized there | 08:27 |
| magespawn | as they should be | 08:27 |
| Cantide | as long as you teach them well, they will respect you and do anything you ask of them, not like here | 08:28 |
| magespawn | teachers are resposible for the future of a country | 08:29 |
| Cantide | yeah | 08:29 |
| Cantide | so are students though | 08:29 |
| Cantide | it's a combined effort | 08:30 |
| Cantide | and we just have the wrong mentality in our country - no one wants to learn | 08:30 |
| Kilos | yip the teacher molds them | 08:30 |
| Cantide | you can't teach someone who isn't interested | 08:30 |
| georgelappies | good thank Kilos :) | 08:30 |
| magespawn | well i would not say no one, and generally those who do are too easily influenced by the others | 08:31 |
| Cantide | yeah, i'm generalizing a bit :p | 08:31 |
| Kilos | one day i will put a row of smileys here, to make up for not using them | 08:31 |
| Cantide | :) | 08:31 |
| * Cantide looks forward to that day | 08:31 | |
| Kilos | hehe | 08:31 |
| Kilos | easiest one is <3 | 08:32 |
| magespawn | i found out the other day that there are 75 or so schools in kzn that do not offer maths for matric | 08:32 |
| Kilos | thats bad amge | 08:32 |
| Cantide | heh | 08:32 |
| Kilos | magespawn: too | 08:32 |
| Cantide | i heard that our country has the second worst education in the world when it comes to maths and science | 08:32 |
| Cantide | one of my friends that matriculated in pinetown said he didn't have a science teacher for the last two years of high school :< | 08:33 |
| Kilos | ouch | 08:33 |
| magespawn | madness, i consider maths and languages the core of any education | 08:34 |
| Kilos | most of our good teachers haveleft for greener pastures | 08:34 |
| Kilos | sad | 08:34 |
| Cantide | yeah | 08:35 |
| magespawn | we are very fortunate with my kids primary school, awesome teachers with tons of experience | 08:36 |
| Kilos | good | 08:36 |
| Cantide | nice :) | 08:37 |
| Cantide | private schools are expensive, but worth it | 08:37 |
| Cantide | (if you can afford it) | 08:38 |
| magespawn | Cantide: any idea what the cost of living is like there? i see the exchange rate to the dollar is high, but does not mean much without context | 08:48 |
| magespawn | cost of livinge versus typical income? | 08:49 |
| magespawn | All Koreans speak and write the same language, which has been a decisive factor in forging their strong national identity. taken from here http://www.korea.net/AboutKorea/Korea-at-a-Glance/Facts-about-Korea | 08:51 |
| Cantide | magespawn, i should be earning 2.5 to 3 million won a month | 08:57 |
| Cantide | in rands that's about 23 000 a month | 08:58 |
| magespawn | sounds a lot | 08:58 |
| Cantide | and my rent will be something like 3000 a month | 08:58 |
| Cantide | public transport is cheap and convenient | 08:58 |
| Cantide | and food is a similar price to here | 08:58 |
| Cantide | so i should be able to save about R 15 000 a month easily | 08:59 |
| Cantide | electronics are cheaper, too | 08:59 |
| magespawn | nice | 08:59 |
| Cantide | and clothing was cheaper | 08:59 |
| Cantide | i bought an Intel 330 series 120 GB SSD there in November for about R 950 | 08:59 |
| Cantide | and i saw it here the other day for R 1699 | 08:59 |
| magespawn | maybe start an export business, lol | 09:00 |
| Cantide | lol | 09:00 |
| Cantide | i have a Korean friend who wants to do that | 09:00 |
| Cantide | and he was asking about exporting to SA | 09:00 |
| Cantide | but i know nothing about such things :p | 09:00 |
| magespawn | i wonder what the transport cost are like | 09:00 |
| Cantide | hmm | 09:01 |
| magespawn | i was looking into getting stuff from china | 09:01 |
| Cantide | i'm not sure about it | 09:01 |
| Cantide | would be good to have a friend in shipping :p | 09:01 |
| magespawn | yes it would, altough a lot of the shipping/freight companies offer very complete services | 09:02 |
| magespawn | well if you need an sa partner you know where to find me | 09:04 |
| Cantide | lol | 09:04 |
| Cantide | :p | 09:04 |
| Cantide | well, my plan is to teach | 09:04 |
| Cantide | but i don't intend doing it for the rest of my life | 09:04 |
| Cantide | so yeah, i will be looking at other jobs / opportunities while i'm there, and hopefully get into something else after about 5 - 10 years of teaching | 09:05 |
| Cantide | (once i've learnt the language) | 09:05 |
| magespawn | you seem to be doing quite well in that area | 09:07 |
| Cantide | eh | 09:08 |
| Cantide | well, i lost my teacher :p | 09:08 |
| Cantide | but i will take lessons once i'm there | 09:08 |
| magespawn | there are few link here http://www.korea.net/AboutKorea/Korea-at-a-Glance/Facts-about-Korea if need a headstart | 09:09 |
| Cantide | hehe | 09:10 |

| Symmetria | sup | 09:13 |

| Symmetria | 150-500mm optical stabilized lense | 09:16 |
| Symmetria | take photos of the hairs on a flys ass from 100 meters away ;p | 09:16 |
| Cantide | LOL | 09:16 |
| Symmetria | (or park a few hundred meters from a nudist beach) ;p | 09:17 |
| * Symmetria laughs | 09:17 | |
| Cantide | looks expensive :p | 09:17 |
| Cantide | hahaha | 09:17 |
| Symmetria | heh the lense? *shrug* its actually by lense standards not bad, about 13k, its the only really *LARGE* lense that is vaguely affordable | 09:17 |
| Symmetria | if you want anything bigger than that you're into the 50k+ bracket | 09:18 |
| Cantide | o_O | 09:18 |
| Cantide | eish... | 09:18 |
| Cantide | good choice :D | 09:18 |
| Cantide | haha | 09:18 |
| magespawn | camera lenses that you could buy a car with | 09:23 |
| Squirm | I now understand why the images are such highres it takes me an age to download them | 09:24 |
| Symmetria | Squirm hehe | 09:25 |
| Symmetria | heh magespawn you aint gonna get a car for 13k | 09:26 |
| Symmetria | or not one that goes | 09:26 |
| Symmetria | ;p | 09:26 |
| magespawn | no i meant the other lenses | 09:34 |
| magespawn | the 50k plus | 09:34 |
| Symmetria | yeah | 09:37 |
| Symmetria | Squirm lol, if you think those images are high res | 09:37 |
| Symmetria | you should see when I start putting the raws online | 09:37 |
| Symmetria | camera is capable of taking a photo that is 40meg in size | 09:37 |
| Symmetria | ;p | 09:37 |

| Cantide | yeah, it's worth going even if it's a bit wet | 10:30 |
| Cantide | but if it pours.. meh | 10:30 |
| Cantide | i think most of the rain is over though | 10:30 |
| Squirm | and I just saw on Facebook that Red Light Stereo will be playing in the field afterwards :D | 10:31 |
| Squirm | oh wait, I have a heater! I'm being cold and I forgot I had a heater | 10:31 |
| Cantide | haha | 10:32 |

| Cantide | well, Hillary actually - which is considered part of Durban city and not part of Queensburgh, but it's next to Queensburgh | 12:29 |
| Squirm | I don't know Hillary. know of Queensburgh. Can't recall going there though | 12:29 |
| Cantide | well, just think of Queensburgh and you will be close enough to the mark | 12:30 |
