Shanti Falls
Kadambi Falls
Sringeri
Horanadu
Vidyasankara temple in Shringeri
Guru Dattatreya Bababudanswamy Darga
Amritapura
Belavadi
Chennekeshava Temple
River Tern Nestling in Bhadra Wildlife Sanctuary
Kudremukh National Park
Belur& Halebid

Hope this helps.

She’s 20 years old. Any nice, heartfelt (but not too expensive) ideas would be great, thanks

Get her your favorite cd so she can have an American souvenir and get a Christmas frame with you to in it

Hi everyone, I need help about my student visa.. I’m going back to Japan to finish my high school there. I will not be in an foreign exchange program. My high school (hasn’t told me for sure that I’m accepted but said most likely i will be) has an international department which I will be attending to help me get used to the school and then start from there as a regular Japanese student. The problem is about my visa. I’m Half Japanese and my mother does not have an American citizenship, only green card.. one of the international staff told me that since my mom is Japanese and still has her Japanese citizenship, I will be able to get a special visa. He also told me it would be easier for me to get the visa.. Okay the main problem is we called the Japanese… visa place.. (consulate?) and they told us we can get it within a week. Then we asked the school in Japan and he said it might take within 4-6 months.. which is a big difference.. I also remembered that we asked him about homestay families so maybe he thought I was going to stay with a host family instead of my family. (which I will be staying with my sister). so I’m not sure what’s happening. should I call the visa place again to make sure? Thanks oh yes and I live in California by Los Angeles (that might help a little) thanks again.
lol yes according to the first answer it’s best to ask the consulate… but like… it’s America… people don’t answer things right lol.. (and I’m not being evil cuz I’m american too) and I am going to apply for my visa soon but I’m just worried it might take 4-6 months because then I just wasted one whole year lol.. yes I know its my fault but I couldn’t stand the evil bullying and racism in my area.

If your mom still holds her Japanese citizenship, then you could probably apply for a Spouse/Child of a Japanese National visa, and you wouldn’t have to worry about the student visa at all.

But what do I know? I don’t work for the Japanese government.

I want to get a TEFL certification..It is a 140 hour course at the International Teacher Training Organization at their institute in Guadalajara, Mexico. The tuition is $1400. Homestay cost including meals is $400 for four weeks. This is what a TEFL course typically costs, right? And has anyone dealt with this organization before? Any information will be helpful, thank you.
I also meant to ask if the certification from ITTO is legitimate and if it will be accepted in various countries…

It depends what you want it for.

An entry level job teaching English will accept many different TEFL certificates from many different organisations. Some are much cheaper than others, especially online ones.

For around 1,400 USD you could probably find a local CELTA course which is arguably the best TEFL certificate. Having said that, I would suggest that any CELTA candidate should have at least a couple of years experience before taking the course.

i wanna seek a homestay in New Zealand ,so if you understood that could you tell me ,and reply to me , add to my yahoo message , thank you .
looking forward to your earlier reply !

Take a look at this web page.

ALSO:

It would be better if you asked your question in the NEW ZEALAND section of Yahoo Answers and not the Australia section. New Zealand is a separate Country separated by 1338 miles of ocean.

You will get better answers.

Hello.
i’m doing a uni exchange program to Tokyo next year (i’ll be there for 1 semester) and i’m thinking of staying with a homestay family. i’ve ask some ppl who’ve stayed in homestay before but some said it’s good and some said u should NEVER stay at homestay….
so i’d like to hear from more ppl.

So, is your host family friendly? do they treat u the same as they treat their family member?or kind of exclude u from family member? are they helpful?
how long is your stay? whereabout do u stay? how’s u’r room? and how much do u pay /month?

thnx for answering a bunch of Qs (>.<)

I LOVE JAPAN

I’m 18 years old and just out of High School. I’m trying to become a doctor so I won’t have any time to travel during the school years and especially during my Medical School years. I’ve decided that I’d like to teach English in Korea as a part-time over the summer or winter break so that I can fund a way to explore the culture. I found a website Cultural Homestay International, however, it’s about $1000, EXCLUDING the plane ticket…to VOLUNTARILY teach English(no pay) without any requirements like a BA. I’d like to find an organization that sponsors me fully. Also, if anyone knows of any programs in Korea that lets me teach without pay but includes the following: Room and Board, Plane Ticket, Basic Meals, I’d very much appreciate it. I’ve seen similar offers for BA holders, however, I believe that I hold my own against them considering my honors etc. I’ve searched the internet as well but I figure this type of thing is known by reference rather than research since I can’t find anything.
I wonder if half the people who answer this thread have actually read the question lol.

Don’t know where you are, so can’t recommend any specific sponsor for you to ask. However i have two suggestions – post this question on the South Korea board – the answerers there should have a better idea of your options. Secondly, look around whereever it is you are for local Korean Associations or any Korean businesses, such as banks, etc. They’d be the most likely to be responsive to your request.

I have taught English in Korea off and on since 1996. What you describe is not legally available. Teachers must have a degree and an education working Visa in their passport, comply with Korean laws, and are typically contracted through agencies that are supposed to screen applicants for proper credentials. Some teachers do cut corners, but they are typically part time with little to no benefits other than paid cash for their classes taught. Room and board, meals, and airline tickets are part of a program that is run by the Agencies in tune with the Institutes. You can possibly do some private teaching, which often comes by word of mouth, but you stll won’t get the benefits like you described above.

Good luck!… ☺
