12 months backpacking. africa or south america?
i currently have 2 and a half months left of my trip through south asia. obviously ive started thinking about having to go home, and figure if my job goes well then in another 2 years ill be able to afford another 12 months backpacking, but i need to choose a continent to work towards, especially considering each one requires learning at least some of the local language. my favourite countries on this trip have been india, myanmar, cambodia, and indonesia is currently making a good impression (albeit after only a month). i love historical sites, political and ancient, love trekking on all terrains, hate the whole fat-white-people-getting-drunk-on-a-beach scene, relaxing makes me feel uneasy (like im wasting money), so i want a destination thats intense, heady and full of action. a little danger doesnt scare me either. so, africa or south america? answers preferably from people that have been to one, or both. cheers

Have you thought about Central America? I went to Nicaragua last year, and it's a rough country, dangerous and beautiful (kinda dirty though).... I've never been to either of the other places you mention. But, I did meet alot of traveler's from South America, and they were great. You can avoid the fat beach go'ers, and hike the volcanoes (the country has been devastated by them for centuries, so they're constantly rebuilding) Hope that helps ya!

What do I do about his IMF certificate?
What do I do about his IMF certificate?
I was asked to purchase a IMF certificate for a loan I am getting from a Bank in South Africa. I was told that I need this to make sure the money going into my account will not be for drugs or money laundering. What would you recommend for this type of transaction?

First off, IMF or International Monetary Fund does NOT give out loans to individuals. IMF deals with balance of payments problems of governments, not personal lending That's a SCAM. Ignore it, delete it and do not ever fall for it. I hope you did not give out your personal information

Should I try to make my son stay when he come to visit?
Should I try to make my son stay when he come to visit?
After I and my ex-husband divorced, my ex-husband took my son, Andre who was 12 at the time with him without my permission. My husband took Andre with him to South Africa. I didn’t hear from him until he was fourteen. When I heard from him again, he says he was ok and he’ll be in touch with me again soon. I later learned he have provided fake info and claimed he was sixteen to get in the military. I didn’t hear from him again for about a year. Next thing I know is, he deserted South Africa army and is living in Belgrade, Serbia. He didn’t really stay in touch for a while until a couple months ago, he finally start to stay in touch. Andre have always liked photography and been doing it since he was a boy. He say when his father took him to Africa, he learned how to sell stock photography and saved up money until he moved out of South Africa. He has been working as an assistant for one of the most respected high fashion photographer in Serbia. He say he have a girlfriend who is 20 and living with him. Andre also say he’s consider about go into paramilitary if he can continue do photography while being in paramilitary. We have been in touch and even talked about having him coming here so we can see each other again. Since he’s still a child, he’s only sixteen and I don’t know if he has any education beyond middle school. I really want him to stay home so he can go back to school and be a child again, be with his sister and brother, and rest of the family, and so I can finish raising him. Also idea of him has already been in military and thinking about getting back into military at such young age is just scary to me. But my finance says that it will never work and would be a bad idea to try to make him stay here. So I should let him go back after visiting unless he wants to stay. I really don’t know what to do about this. I hope somebody can help out.

Your fiance is right. If he wants to stay I would let him. I would tell him that you would like him to but I would not try to force him. The life he has lived has made him grow up and even though he is still young he is not a child.

Sounds to me like he is doing just fine on his own. I don't think he needs anymore raising. Let him live his life.

Should I accept this job offer?
Should I accept this job offer?
I work with a preaching lady, I and other girls, we dress up as angels and sing hymns, and then she collects donations. Every girl represents something: I am chastity (there is humility, creative endeavour and so on). It's all nice on surface, but girls bully me, and pinch me to black spots, and make my life unbearable; and that kind lady Metroland promised me a high paid job in South Africa, all travel expenses paid. Should I drop everything and go earn a lot of money in South Africa?

you probably should, perhaps it would get you away from those other girls.

yea... i guess. but go with your heart not your mind.

This one is just Vile.
4 :
If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Some things are worth sacrificing, but to change your life because someone "promised you" something is quite risky. If you're doing it for the right reasons, then go for it.
5 :
my teacher has always told me that the best job is a job you love.
6 :
i think you should look for another job within the country you're living in, it'll be easier than moving to an entirely different place.
