Out Japan

Out Japan

Are there Japan internship programs out there for post-college graduate students?

I'm going to be graduating from college in May 2010 and unfortunately, I do not plan on attending graduate school. However, I would love to do something like a summer internship in Japan, but I don't know if there is such a thing as a program that takes students that have simply graduated with a BA. My field of choice is interpretation or translation of media such as Japanese games, movies, etc. Hope someone can help me. Thanks!

colleges.mywebcommunity.org - I found such internship info here. It has lots of internships, job openings and scolarships for college students.

Label Society

Label Society

Why does society label me a deviant because I have a preference for slim men that are shorter than me?

It is my preference. But I get comments all the time saying I must be a man, had developmental problems when I was younger or that I am compensating for something.

Tall and muscular men are just not appealing to me. They come off as insecure because they always seem to seek tiny little girls.

Because its unconventional, and some folks can not handle a little bit of difference, so they have to stick a negative label on it.

Ten Countries In Europe For An Amazing European Tour

Europe is one of the most beautiful places in the world. If you want to tour Europe and get to see what the continent has to offer, then read through these 10 places you can visit in this great continent. It might be a bit expensive, but a vacation I bet you will never forget in a million years.

1.) Fall in Love with London

There are so many places you can visit here in London. The first and most wonderful sight you will probably see is the Buckingham Palace. Next, I would recommend that you visit the Tower of London. If you want to get to know the place better, then do not forget to walk in the streets of the City of London and admire its historic buildings.

2.) Lover's Paradise

Of course, if you want to tour Europe, do not forget visiting the ever-romantic place of Paris. This place has a lot to offer historically especially the Eiffel Tower, a most beautiful sight you will ever see. This is where most tourists go to, and once their feet get tired of walking, get to enjoy the many cafes and bars located in its history-filled streets.

3.) Come Visit Rome

This is another great place that you should never miss. Rome offers a lot of historic buildings. The Vatican City alone is just one of its attractions and the many other churches it has, especially after being made more famous by Dan Brown's book, the Da Vinci Code.

4.) Charles Bridge

This is one of the best places Prague has to offer. The wonderful scenery it has especially at night when all the lights are lighted is enough to steal one's breath away. Get to know the wonderful people of Prague and their culture.

5.) Enjoy the Scent and Beauty of La Rambla's Flower Shops

This is one of the places Barcelona has to offer visitors - the La Rambla flower shops. If you love flowers, then this is an ideal place for you to stroll through. Also, you could visit its historical places like Temple de la Sagrada Familia and Cathedral La Seu, etc.

6.) Come Fly to Amsterdam

Amsterdam - the country where Anne Frank came from, author of the famous Anne Frank's diary, a teenager during the Nazi period. Get to know this place's historical canals and bridges. If you love Van Gogh, do not forget to visit the Van Gogh Museum.

7.) Lovely, Lovely Venice

One can never deny the beauty that Venice has to offer. Get to see more of its famous bridges and churches traveling by gondolas. The Grand Canal alone is enough to fulfill every newlywed's fantasy of a romantic and perfect honeymoon.

8.) Beauty of Madrid

Do not forget Madrid if you want a grand European tour. This should be in every European tour as this country is known for its famous yet romantic bullfighting. If you also love flea markets, then go to El Rastro, Madrid's biggest and very popular flea market.

9.) Amazing Athens

As one of the lands of the gods and the goddesses, you can visit so many tourist destinations here like the Athens Acropolis and the Athens Ancient and Roman Agora. There are also museums and galleries that you can visit. Of course, do not forget the churches and monasteries the place has.

10.) Idyllic Florence

This is another great country that one should visit. Get to know it people and culture by visiting the museums and galleries. Also, if you enjoy shopping but wants it to be quite unique, then go visit Arno River where its bridge is full of little shops and stores.

How close are we to accually realizing the American Dream?

I dont understand this question at all. I think everyone has there owen American Dream how is one person suppose to be able to say that we have or have not realized the American Dream.

I am afraid the time of "The American Dream" is past. I believe its heyday was after WWII, you know the childhoods of the baby boomers.
