Title: iamzack around the woooooorrrllldd
Post by: iamzack on June 16, 2010, 01:02:39 pm
The countries listed have universities that were listed when I did a search for Chemistry/Physics programs taught in English on the ISEP website.

I'm thinking of going abroad for the 2011 spring semester, since I still have like 3-4 months to apply.

I was gonna say Kyrgyzystan, but they probably don't have a good chemistry/physics program there...

I voted England! I think you'd be a fine addition to HLP UK meets! Although I've never been to one, I'd imagine you and Dekker would get on like a house on fire, don't know why, something to do with your sense of humours!

Indeed, go to England and a HLP London, and of course enjoy the 20 oz. Imperial pints of beer they have in the U.K. (seriously, whoever invented 20 oz. pints for beer is a genius).

I don't think the nebula beyond Gamma Draconis has Chemistry/Physics programs.  Or maybe it does but I doubt it's in English.  :P

I voted New Zealand, but for no other reason than just because I want to go there. :X

Second to Murrica, but it's definitely the first place I want to go overseas (of my own accord that is).

On 1 September 2009, Fiji became only the second country to be suspended from the Commonwealth of Nations. The action was taken because Commodore Frank Bainimarama refused to hold elections by 2010, elections that the Commonwealth of Nations had demanded after the 2006 coup. He states a need for more time to end a voting system he claims favours ethnic Fijians. Critics claim that he has suspended the constitution and was responsible for human rights violations by arresting and detaining opponents.

Huh.

I have a little test of suitability in being able spend time in Finland.

Should you find this video funny, you might have a chance of surviving here.

If you are like :wtf: after watching it, then for your own safety, please don't even try.

Being able to absorb moderate amounts of alcohol and not being ashamed of being naked in sauna also helps! Also, please don't try to find a clip called "Pics from Finland" if you aren't registered to YouTube. It only shows a typical way of having sauna in Finland.

Well Iaz, you are a very interresting Female with very different opinions about most things, you should either go to a place where you can blend in like England ( no insult intended ), which i voted for, or go to a place where you would become a queen of a tribe or something similar, where people can worship you.
For the sake of international Diplomatic affairs, i hope it's gonna be the former.   :P


Seriously though, go to England.

I wouldn't mind going to Fiji on holiday, but I wouldn't want to live there or get higher education there. Same with Ghana and South Africa.

Well see, South Africa HAS produced a lot of educated people, it's just that the educated ones leave the country because it's a ****hole. So, big brain-drain for South Africa!
