"The legend of Urashima TarÅ (浦島太郎, 'Urashima TarÅ') is a Japanese legend about a fisherman who rescues a turtle and for this is rewarded with a visit to the Palace of the Dragon, or RyÅ«gÅ«-jÅ." "One fine day a young fisherman named Urashima TarÅ was fishing when he noticed a small turtle being tormented by some children. TarÅ saved it and let it go back to the sea. The day after a huge turtle approached him and told him that the small turtle he had saved was the daughter of the Emperor of the Sea, who wanted to see him to thank him. The turtle magically gave TarÅ gills and brought him to the bottom of the sea, to the Palace of the Dragon (RyÅ«gÅ«-jÅ). There he met the Emperor and the small turtle, who was now a lovely princess. TarÅ stayed there with her for a few days, then he was caught by the desire to go back to his village and see his aging mother, so he asked her permission to leave. The princess said she was sorry to see him go, but wished him well and gave him a mysterious box which she told him never to open, for whatever reason. TarÅ grabbed the box, jumped on the back of the same turtle that had brought him to the Palace, and soon was home. But everything had changed. His home was gone, his mother had vanished, the people he knew were nowhere to be seen. He asked if anybody knew a man called Urashima TarÅ. They answered that they had heard someone of that name had vanished at sea long ago. He discovered that 300 years had passed since the day he had left for the bottom of the sea. Struck by grief, he absent-mindedly opened the box the princess had given him. Out of it came a cloud of white smoke. He suddenly aged, his beard grew long and white, and his back bent. He was now a very old man. And from the sea came the sad, sweet voice of the princess: "I told you not to open that box. In it was your old age …" As always with folklore, there are many different versions of this extremely famous story. In one, for example, after he turned into an old man he took the body of a crane, in another he ate a magic pill that gave him the ability to breathe underwater. In another version, he is swept away by a storm before he can rescue the turtle." For the full story in English, see "The Story of Urashima Taro, the Fisher Lad" : http://www.rickwalton.com/folktale/japan03.htm

How can I increase my chances to get a job at an embassy?
How can I increase my chances to get a job at an embassy?
I am curious if anyone has strong ideas on what I can do to get a job in a US embassy in East Asia, preferably in Japan, South Korea, or Taiwan. I am currently an undergraduate student who is close to graduation and I want to go teach English for a couple of years in Japan, and then maybe a couple more in Korea and work my way up to have some skills, but I was wondering if there were any suggestions people could make though education or experiences/skills which could help me. I don't have the money to go to graduate school, and I am not looking to be the ambassador, but I am looking to work somewhere in an embassy or counsolate general. Any suggestions on what I can do or what kind of skills I should have? I can already speak a little of Japanese and my Korean is a bit better. I am currently studying East Asia with a focus on Japan and Korea (no classes on Taiwan at my university). Suggestions?

I can suggest that you write to the Secretary of State's Office and ask them this question. They can give you up to date help on this and give you excellent help. Go to www.state.gov and go from there!
2 :
If you are interested in working for the embassies, I would recommend you to contact the State Department. You might find http://careers.state.gov/ helpful. I believe you are looking to work as a specialist or officer?
3 :
If you are a US citizen, you basically have two options - get a job through the US Department of State or one of the represented agencies, or go to the country in which you are interested in working, arrange for your own residence/work permit, and then apply for a local hire position. Research each US foreign mission location on the Department of State websites for further information.

Chinese is definitely need for hunting job in Taiwan. If you are not good at speaking in Mandarin, I will suggest you to attend the Chinese lesson in the University at Taipei at least for two years....or perhaps you can find the part-time job in the restaurantss here..The other way is ask the staffs from the university or any international students, they may give you some good direction to look for a job here...Anyway, Good luck!

taiwan night life is da bomb! make sure you hit up luxy!! have fun

Check out taiwannights.com for better information on the area you are in. Taiwanfun.com also is a good source but is more focused on tea houses and restaurants. Taipei has a reasonable beach area on the NW coast called BaiShaWan beach, it is ok. Most Taiwanese won't go in the water past chest height. The good news is, more and more of the youth here are learning swimming as part of their school program, and more and more younger Taiwanese women are wearing bikinis. This is a good thing for you. It presents good eye candy for me, but my wife may have issues with that. There are a few weird rules about wearing dumb swim caps in swimming pools but at beaches you dont need to worry about that. Kenting has great pubs and beaches. Ilan also has some ok beaches. If you can get out to Penghu the beaches and windsurfing are best there. Taichung has no beaches. :( But lots of restaurants, but the bar scene has basically died here for some reason in the past few years from all I have gathered, but I am married now and basically a non-drinker, so I wouldn't be a good source really for that. Tea houses are ok, but you probably wont be likely to pick anyone up there... however Taiwanese women are generally quite friendly and always are willing to try to practice their English with good looking foreign men... as long as you respect them.

I'm a student here too. CLUBS: Roxy 99 by Shida is where lots of foreign students go to get 2 free beers on Wednesday nights. Wax on Rosevelt Rd and Heping E. Rd also has unlimited drinks for an entrance fee on Wednesday night. Wednesday is Lady's night at Luxy on Zhongxiao E. Rd. Brass Monkey, Room 18, Lava, Spark are some other good places to go. Most clubs don't open Sunday to Tuesday. RESTUARANTS: Din Tai Fung - famous for their pork dumplings, tourists love it. Night Markets have awesome eats. Try Shilin (the biggest). BEACHES: Kenting - But you'll have to take a train. It's more of a vacation trip.

Overall, I believe that is very difficult to get a good paying job as a translator. You have to remember that this is America and that means that there are millions of people who speak many languages and demand may not be very high. In the business world you might be able to get a job where your languages might be needed from time to time. A good paying job with a corporation as an official company translator might be a great job opportunity for you. You might also consider working for a University or a Hospital. Most translating jobs in America are "on call" basis and pay only by the hour. These jobs do pay well, but are not a good source of constant income and sometimes are considered part time employment. Take a peek at the following job search webpages and search for language translation jobs
2 :
Yes you can. One place to start is in the court system. There are many different languages being spoke by people in the courtroom all the time. Those people need translators and the court system is hiring. I don't know how it pays, but if you are looking for a job, you might want to try there first and then you can look for something else if you don't like that.
3 :
Dude, to tell you, it's not worth your time to get a master's degree just so you can translate. I have relatives who only have a HS diploma, some even none, went into the translating business. It's not such a high paying job either.

If you know what you want to major in, look for schools with good programs for that. Then look online at their website for the requirements.

You have a competitive chance at getting in to some prestigious schools... Brown, Columbia, Johns Hopkins, etc. Your writing is a bit low, but it's still ok. How's ur GPA? are those ur only extra curriculars? are u applying from Taiwan or from the states? How's ur TOEFL score? what do u want to study?
