~30 y/o U.S. Marine in Supply Administration...Hoping to get accepted to OCS (Officer Candidate School) by this time next year and work in Public Affairs.

~For fun, I enjoy Photography and I coach Recreational Soccer, girls Softball (certified coach in the state on North Carolina in both) and I'm an assistant coach for the base Basketball team.



Fayetteville!

really? cool! I have a buddy stationed at Pope that I visit every once in a while. He is a Knick fan also

How are those NBDL games? I've been meaning to catch one of their games...

Since I have a lot of free time, I coach basketball at a prestigious private school. Doing very well. So far 3 state titles in 7 years. Looking for a DI assistant gig or a D2 starting gig. Couple interviews lined up. I'll keep you updated.

Keep us updated Bip!

I sell animal balloons as a 2nd income. Don't judge me. Not everyone can be into stocks and bonds and stuff.

J/K! or am I??

Got any spares lying around? I could think of a few targets in Knickdom.

But woah that's a scary sounding job. I don't want to be the guy who pizzes you off on a bad day.
Some men see things as they are and ask why. I dream things that never were and ask why not?

I play a little cricket in the summer.

cricket? mins plays cricket? now all you gotta tell me is that you can cook some curry goat and i'll change my name to djheartsminsnyc...

Yup cricket is a good time :)
I can ball & I am the wicket keeper for my team. The captain's husband knocked her up lol...so we're waiting for someone to claim the position.

I can make a lot of things but I've never made goat curry before. Apologies. I make a great biryani though and not from the mix either!

Wow, what a small world. Hamburg, Toronto, and Buffalo! I loved Hamburg and Toronto. They are both great cities. They are actually quite similar in certain ways. As for Buffalo, I went to college there so I have tons of great memories. I lived in Amherst. I miss the wings from Duffs anf Anchor Bar...
Silver, I have no idea what Rurouni Kenshin and Naruto & Bleach are (i'm no anime guy. but i'm fascinated by Japanese history especially the end of samurai's rule and the preceding turmoil. In fact my hero is this guy http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sakamoto_Ryoma).
anyway, I'll be happy to give you advice on where to go and what to do while you're in Japan. Yeah, things could be quite expensive over here, but if you plan ahead and know where to stay, you could save lots of $$$. Like Marv says Kyoto is a must. I also recommend Osaka & Tokyo, but you can do Tokyo in a day or two. Also, go to the countryside to see the real Japan. Check out an onsen (hot springs), sleep on tatami mats wearing yukata (kimono). Eat the real Japanese food, go to Izakaya, make some local friends, visit a middle school in the countryside and volunteer as an assistant for English teacher for a day (my friend did this and absolutely loved the experience having fun with Japanese kids), etc, etc.

OAK you got any hints on the job availability for German market research consultants in Tokyo?!? Ill do nearly anything!!!
Im working on my dissertation, which is an intercultural comparisson between the german and japanese youth and I plan to move there for a year or so. As I want to concentrate on my own research, Id have to work something like 25h a week and still earn enough for some cheap living! Any chances for that?!?

Dodger, I mainly focus on moving execs for Investment Banks, so I can't comment on the job availability for market research consultants here. Just do a bit of research on the net and send out feelers. You should be able to get the sense of the market fairly easy. Lots of people come here for working holiday and teach English for living. In the worst case scenario, this is something you could consider doing. I think you could make something around 3,000-4,000 yen per hour depending on your skills and experience in teaching languages. You may be able to charge a bit more for German. The best place to teach languages is at big corporations. It may be hard to get in, but once you're in, you can make quite a good money, and you only deal with mature, professionals.

TymeLessKnicks, you don't like Buffalo? Check this out: http://www.cse.buffalo.edu/~rapaport/Buffalo/buffalo.html

almost 3am. i'm off to bed now... Go Yanks!

the girls from here stick with there own kind(guys from here).

the white girls here put up this front all the damn time....

black people here act and talk like there from the south...i hate that. (im jamaican...im not racist people)

u lived in amherst...its safe there!!!! its not so safe where i live in buffalo (safer back home)...they stole my radio out of my car in front of my house and my neighborhood is not considered bad.

put all wat i just said together and i have a reason to hate this place.

The night life in NYC sucks too, compared to what it used to be. As for the chicks, mostly ALL of them put up that front, or have a look on their faces that'll make you think they are friggin psychos. You're better off going down South where the women aren't stuck on stupid. The weather's much better down south, too.
Another season, and more adversity to persevere through. We will get the job done, even BETTER than last year. GO KNICKS!

OAK - That was a nice read on Sakamoto Ryoma. My hero is Jose Rizal. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jose_Rizal

Rizal was a polyglot. He had mastered 23 languages, which included Arabic, Dutch, Swedish, Russian, Portuguese, Catalán, Chinese, English, French, German, Greek, Hebrew, Japanese, Latin, Malay, Italian, Sanskrit, Chavacano, Spanish, Tagalog, Cebuano, Ilocano, and Subanun.

He was a poet. As a polymath, he was also an architect, artist, educator, economist, ethnologist, scientific farmer, historian, inventor, journalist, musician, mythologist, internationalist, naturalist, novelist, ophthalmologist, physician, propagandist, sculptor, and sociologist.

I have a couple of friends in and around the Miami area and they love it. From what they tell me, the cost of living there is higher than most other southern cities though.

...and aside from an occasional hurricane, the weather is great most of the year.

Thanks for the tips OAK!
The language teacher idea had me fascinated too but Im not sure if got the proper skill level!!!
Its allways a bit tricky to find a job where you can make enough to earn your living and on the other side is not too timeconsuming so I can still do my own research!!!

But hey that has been the difficult part here too so why should it be easier in a foreign country, where you are an analphabetic and have a hard time understanding anything!!! ;-)

Miami is way crowded. The whole region from miami on up is way too populated now. I'd say its more an international city. Its the Gateway to Latin America.

If you can't party in NYC, you can't party.
