Don't teach English. Do a proper internship of some kind, or go do restaurant work.
I think a teaching job is usually the easiest way of getting in the country and living there for a good number of years. Curious to know why you wouldn't go that route.

See, now, all you had to say was this -
Jesus walks into a black bar.
It hurt.
EDIT: Man, working on Saturday is boring. Especially when you get stuck and there's noone who can help. Because there are only 2 people here.
Recently my days feel like this.
Looks kinky.
Everybody knows Kabuto is the best gen 1 fossil.
Kabuto was just Orochimaru's pawn. He couldn't even master all of his jutsus.
Stick to your Jesus jokes Dave.

its a bookshelf staircase, I think.
Yeah. I thought it was. The door kind of looks like it is in the roof on the second pic. It's just the perspective the picture is taken from. Kind of looks like a staircase going up to the door.

It looks more like a death trap to me
Dishonored keeps calling my name but I have had strept throat since saturday morning
Feels bad man. I used to get that once a year, every year when I was younger. Hate that feeling.
Why are you walking on the wall?
Look at the steps. There are books within the steps themselves
Edit: Nevermind. Didn't notice it was a different angle
Dave is a born rule breaker. The laws of gravity mean nothing to him.

Hey, guys! Thanks to CrudeDiabtribe (whom you should be showering with compliments, gifts, and possible sexual favors depending on sobriety), the database we're using for Secret Santa is finally up. So here's the registration URL:
http://realgafsanta.lonelyfridge.com/registration.php
This is for Real-GAF only, this is not a GAF-at-large Secret Santa. Not anything against anyone else, that would just be too big and unmanageable. So if you're not part of this community, exercise your best judgment. Similarly, don't join if you don't think you can recirporcate presents - this is a big circle of gift-giving to people you hopefully consider friends. We don't want anyone stiffed on this.
OKAY THAT'S ALL THE BAD STUFF OUT OF THE WAY. If you haven't clicked the URL yet, here's what you'll need to be inputting: Your GAF name, your Real Name, your e-mail (don't put a fake one, it is how you will get your Santee information), your address, and any notes and Game Systems you want to add. Try using the last area to put, say, Steam names or what you would like.
The registration will officially close on November 10th, midnight eastern standard time, so you have that long to register. After that, e-mails will be disbursed and everyone will find out who they are buying for. Crude and I will be looking over everything to make sure there are no issues and everyone has a merry Christmas.
But everyone lives in weird places!
Kind of! Luckily, there are options. If you have someone on Steam, you can purchase through there for international people (note that there are rare game exceptions, such as Dead Rising 2: Off the Record, that will not boot up from IPs in Germany, so make sure you double-check on that sort of thing). There are several countries that have their own Amazon delivery, so barring maybe a phone call from your bank, that is a good way to get items to someone.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/feature.html?ie=UTF8&docId=487250 - International hubs for Amazon
Usually you can just google "Amazon (country name)" and find what you're looking for and sometimes bigger Amazon hubs may ship to neighboring countries for cheap. So those are your best bets for buying those things for people.
If none of those options work, well...shipping options exist and they might not be TOO expensive. But hopefully it won't come to that. If there is a big problem that just can't be worked around, PM me and I'll see what we can figure out. It will probably involve me talking to the Santee to see what can be done.
But I'm awful at buying presents!
Probably! Most people are! But that's okay! Steam has a wishlist feature if you're going that route. If not, there's a notes section in the registration where hopefully your santee has decided to put what they wanted. And if that doesn't pan out, maybe look through their GAF post history and try and get a feel for what they might want.
And for all the santees, don't be a jerk! People are doing their best to shop for you, so don't get mad if you don't get exactly what you want. We're all friends here, so let's act like it. The important thing is to have fun with it!
Edit: After thinking about it, cap is $75, minimum is $10.

You know what, I don't even know why I'm interested. I cant participate this year, as much as I'd like to. I just bought a house and will be moving in at that time. I need all my money for not only my family to have a christmas but to turn on utilities, moving expenses, etc... I'm friggen broke until February. Sorry Real-Gaf.

Bless you and your family.
Put a pile of paperback books at the bottom lissar to break your fall.
Why would you ruin books?

I'm still thinking if I want to participate. I hope the person I do get doesn't like Chaos.

Hmm...maybe...maaaybe.
Maybe I enjoy it. Maybe I take pleasure in books being ripped page by page in front of me. Maybe I like the sound of paper being torn to shreds. :O
Curse you and everything you love.
But it might save your life lissar! :O
If they're badly damaged you could build a book shrine to them to commemorate this sacrificial act.
"Oh great paperback books! No longer will I be able to browse your pages. No longer will I be able to smell the sweet scent of your paper. On this day you have left me, but you will always be in my heart. I will remember the sound of your pages as they turned for evermore"
So that was you and your group in Fahrenheit 451 eh?

Is this from boy meets world?
