a reflection of our personalities?

Oct 27, 2008 16:59

Had this conversation with the darlings over breakfast yesterday at toastbox. We were just randomly bumming again, after polishing our breads, eggs, and teh pengs (what's new?) :p hehe. Yah, we haven't had breakfast for so long ok! It sure feels good to have a lazy sunday together, esp since there's not monday blues the next day because today's ( Read more... )

funny, travel, quads, handphones, hilarious, kino

I actually have one of these rainbow colored softbank phones XD The pink one in the first row XD

WOW >_<

I want one of those nifty mobiles too :(
But i don't think i can buy it when i'm going over to Tokyo in january >_<
Booo, they don't allow foreign visitors to buy it without a gajin or something right? :D

How are you chocha?
How's japan treating you? :D
-hugs-

I want a kotatsu too -_-

chochajin October 31 2008, 14:34:33 UTC

I barely use mine if that comforts you? XD ( ... )

supajo October 31 2008, 14:43:18 UTC

WHY! WHY! You have a nifty japanese phone but you barely use it at all T__T Is there no one to email in Japan? Hahaha. Damn, i want to use all their cute emoticons and such so badly! I've a feeling i prolly have to fork out about 30,000 - 60,000Yen for a mobile, if i'm buying it w/o a contract.. I'm still deliberating whether i should buy it since i can't do nuts with alot of the functions on the phone ( ... )

Well, mailing is expensive. Even receiving mails / sms does cost you money, so ... no thank you XD I'm not that rich ( ... )

supajo October 31 2008, 14:56:31 UTC

No wonder it's so expensive.. You have to pay regardless of whether you use the service or not. And to receive a mail/sms you still have to pay. Omg -_- Yeah, i can see why you don't use the stuff.. lol. I totally understand now.. -pets ( ... )

chochajin October 31 2008, 15:01:30 UTC

Well, it's free if you've the same provider (e.g. softbank) as your communication partner, but a while ago I received tons of spam mails. They were not only annyoing but also expensive -__-;

Sure, but I probably won't know until February or so and if I don't get it I'll have to leave Japan in a rush -__-;;;;;

Well a warm coat or something and a warm pullover, a scarf and mabye gloves? XD warm shoes!

Yes, everybody knows about the JET programme, I guess. It's the best deal you can get as they even pay for your flight and you'll earn why more than me / us.
I couldn't go for JET as they don't need so many German teachers at Japanese high schools, so there was no free position at all the last few years. As I'm German I can only apply for the JET programme in my country which means only for a position as German teacher *sigh*
But if you have the chance to, definitely apply and try that :D

supajo October 31 2008, 15:12:47 UTC

Ohhh, it's so confusing and complex! The Japanese just have to be different from everyone else, their technology, gadgets.. everything -_- Spam mails, did you curse at the person who spammed you? lol. You got them randomly? :s Man... that's quite troublesome no?

Are you gonna be like packing everything just in case? So you don't have to rush out of Japan? :s Or like maybe you could fly to korea for a few days, and then fly back into Japan again to settle all your luggage stuff, and then enjoy a holiday in Korea in the meantime.. :D good idea? :D hehehe.

Ah yeah, i've a 100% wool coat, i hope that's enough! Are converse high-cut sneakers warm enough shoes? >____<;; i'm not sure if it'd be warm enough.. :s i'll prolly get a pair of boots in USA too. Haha. I'm just wondering if i should bring my converse sneakers, since it snows in where i'd be going in US.. -_- And snow and sneakers.. I'm not sure if they go well together. lol. Any advice? :D ( ... )

chochajin October 31 2008, 15:22:48 UTC

No, random spam mails.

I won't have to leave the country, but I won't be allowed to work anymore (as German I'm allowed to stay as a tourist up to 6 months, but with no money and bhaaaaa...)

I don't know, seriously. This will be my first winter here, too! ^^;

No, I don't have the qualifications I'd need.
If you live in an English speaking country, then there are like 234234234 positions a year, so you don't need any special qualifications (just a bachelor degree I think), but in Germany with 23423423 applications and 0-1 positions per year you need qualifications as German teacher and more, so I have no chance at all.

supajo October 31 2008, 15:31:24 UTC

Ahhh okay..

T____T Sorry bout that, am not really sure bout the difference.. But after reading what you just said.. really, it sucks to have no chance at all. sigh.. -hugs- I really really do hope you'll get a visa there!!

Do you have to go for rounds of interview for the visa application? I hope it's not too difficult a process.. Visas can be quite tricky sometimes.. -_-

chochajin November 1 2008, 00:43:07 UTC

No problem ^-^

No, no interviews, but I've written about that in my journal in detail quite a while ago. You need to prove that you have a university degree and have some qualifications in teaching English (of course ONLY if you're from a non-English speaking country). Real native speakers don't have to prove anything at all .... just show their passports and some random tiny bachelor degree. Just a lot of stuff to fill out and to prove and then it's still not a given that I'll get the visa *sigh* -__-;;
