FAQ


"How much does traveling cost?"

Cost of living(rent, utilities, data/wifi, groceries) is $500 USD per month for most countries, up to $1000 for most others.


"Health care and insurance?"

Health care and insurance abroad are both pennies on the US dollar for the highest quality of medical care


"What about visas?"

You usually don't need them; when necessary, visas are almost all entirely online: a fifteen minute e-form and nominal fee offset in your first day by the drastically lower cost of living abroad.


"How do you make money while abroad?"

Any job that nets you $500+ a month works. There are almost 2 billion English students globally right now, so native English speakers have lucked into a guaranteed job on or offline.


"What qualifications do I need as an English teacher?"

Some countries and schools require a TEFL certificate or prefer candidates with an associate's degree depending on the position, but if you want to teach English, all you need is to be a fluent English speaker.

Is this a new candy bar or did I just never notice it before? Only in Asia?

I liked it when crunky had the cute hamster with a cowboy hat on it, i have only seen the generic one with no characters on it recenrly though. They must have add campaigns.

ha, a hatted hamster sounds fun. ads work, I think I saw Crunky around but didn't really notice it until I saw this girl throwing gang signs on the wrapper.

The south korean megacorps. Like Samsung, LG, Hyundai, and SK Hynix. They completely dominate south korea's economy and government.

dang, i thought lotte was chinese, thanks!

I like lotte chocolate, but China makes pretty bad chocolate, so I was confused. And then this Japanese guy recently told me that Lottie was Chinese and that's why he hated their food, but now It's all falling into place.

coulda just checked the internet anytime to last decade, I guess, but there's so many other things to do.

Cool thanks. Do you think it's one of the better candy bars? oh I guess 15 years ago is a pretty long time.

okay, thanks, I'll pick one up at the next opportunity.
