New members of the USA forum, introduce yourself here – 2nd quarter of 2015

Hi, Julien.

Always odd to start off these things...

My name's Filipa. I've lived in the US before but had to return home due to family affairs, had no idea I would be able to break free from them. Now that I did, my previous resident status in the States does not apply anymore but am looking to study in Chicago.

Took my TOEFL test while visiting a few months ago, know everything I need to do to apply, however, it still proves to be difficult to me that I have to get health insurance prior to applying... because I have no idea what's the best service nor how to do so as a foreigner. Weird how just one detail can make you feel disoriented as an outsider.

Looking forward to a new life though.

Kind regards,
Filipa

Hello

I am Pablo, I was born in Argentina, but I lived in France since I was 12, nevertheless, I didn't lost my links with Argentina ....
I arrived in the usa, st cloud, orlando area, Florida by a year and a half ago, I am a single dad of a wonderful 13 yo boy.

I've lived in Sihanoukville for about three years. I'm currently living in a hotel on Serendipity Road at a hotel just passed the Golden Lion.  I write and sell science fiction military novels and hang out. I know more Cambodians than expats. As a writer that is of real interest to me. As a barang it keeps my bullshit detector working overtime.  One of my Cambodia pals is from a little village across the Mekong from Kampong Cham. I've been up there four times and I like it better each time. It's way cheap but it's hard to get western goods like bacon or tuna fish.  It's nice to meet you all. Happy Trails, CrazyDog

Crazydog (love the moniker and one of my favorite bars here in the DR) you realize that you posted this in the USA forum and I am not sure it has anything to do with the USA.  Maybe post in the Cambodia forum???

Bob K

Pablo. welcome.  What do you do in Florida?

Bob K

My bad Bob. Crazy dog is also I Cambodian insult. One of my favs. I say it in Mexican so they don't know I thing they suck for trying to rip me off.

Now that is funny

Bob K

I'm on top off being a dumb shit Bob. I can't find the Cambodian site. If the any chance you could post the Ura for it. If you like shootem ups try Black Scorpion Mountain on Kindle. If you can't happy trails Dennis

@ Crazydog > Please click on this link below, it will direct you to the Cambodia forum where you can start a new thread.

Laura welcome.  What are you doing in NY

Hi there. My name is dilshan pathinayaka. I live in srilanka. And i am just 20 yrs old. I have done my education and i would like study more. I am quantity surveyor. Iam doing my job in that field. And i lile the country that i would love to be. And that is USA. I will do anything for go there. But i dont have money for that. I wanna saythis. I can do anything, any job, any challenge i can take them and do them. And guys i just wanna be there. In USA.

Crazydog here. I've lived in Cambodia two and a half years. I write and sell novels mostly military scie-fie. I live on Serenity Rd just passed the Golden Lion turnaround. I use to live on Victory Hill but the sleaze factor made my skink crawl off and hide.  I have a small private NGO. I see that twenty old starving people in a little village in the north get enough rice to eat every month. They pray for my long life and that I make money to keep them in grits. I smile knowing I will outlive them all.
I spent the last twenty years supporting Anesthesiologist in surgery. I was lucky I worked in some of the best hospitals in the America.  The University of San Francesco and the U of Dub's trauma campuses Harborview in Seattle: Thirty five thousand people and Harborview is the only level one trauma center for four and a half states. Trauma is a fracking rush.
I avoid the tourist stuff. I don't drink and I live like a monk: Which makes me an odd ball for an expat. One the plus side I'm funny, witty and more than a little charming unless you are a Cambodian doctor that couldn't save a cat that was coughing up hair balls. I will hear them out and tell them they are not giving me a *&^&^^% D5W drip for an infected foot.  I want Gentamicin or Ampicillin-subacton and you will give it or I will take my business to a pharmacy.
I did a hitch in Vietnam for 1967 to 1968 as blooper gunner. (M-79.) . The Tet offence really sucked. Still I love Vietnamese food and can't find a good bowl of phö in this blighted country.   
I work at being a nice guy but in my heart of hearts I'm an ex-cowboy from Eastern Oregon and a smart ass prick. I have an IQ of a hundred and forty and all my friends are way smarter than I am. 
It's nice to meet you all. Cheers mates, Crazydog

Hi, I'm Spha from South Africa. I have been offered a partial scholarship by the Middlebury Institute of International Studies, Monterey (California). It does not cover accomodation though, only tuition. Is there anyone here who knows cheap accomodation around Monterey? I would appreciate any advice, please.

I am in the U.S.  Director of International Sports Camps.

We are providing 3-weeks of a basketball calmp at the end of June for Chinese middle school boys.   I have toured, as team owner, through 15 - 20 Chinese cities with a professional basketball team from San Diego.p;aying against Chinese pro teams in China.  We also played one of the CBA teams in a game in California last year.

We are seeking representatives to refer new campers to our camp.  Great commissions.  Camp includes airfare, housing, dining, pro coaching and trips to the major theme parks, including Disney, SeaWorld, Safari Animal park and more for the best sports camp adventure in America.

Greetings to All! My Name is Sam Yoannes, new  to Expat.com but lived in NYC for many years. I am in real estate investment field and will provide a platform online for RE developers seeking investment. If you are a RE developer or an investor anywhere connect with me. Thanks!

HI my name is Isabelle, l wish to communicate with you on the way of life in NY is it easy to find a job and go to the US

Depends on what you want to do and your experience.  But yes, it's easy to adjust. It's  best if you know people here to avoid the loneliness people are too busy here to pay attention or help. Good luck!

Hi,

My name is Martin, born in Vereeniging in South Africa. Grew up on the platte land like its known and lived for 5 years on a farm before matriculating in Ventersdorp.  And no, I am not a AWB for those who know and wonder. Love the out doors, camping, hunting, fishing and most of all my family..
I am planning to work in the USA, very scary ordeal I have to say!!!
Getting a sponsor was the easy part, the second part is where you get a job, or a willing employer who will put his trust in you.
I am hoping to find a fellow South African that will extend a helping hand as we South Africans do this side, on the platte land as they say do. 
I am currently that bloke next to the road with a broken car waiting for a helping hand, please dont pass me by without trying to help, do the South African thing, NO, not the one where you rob me, take my car and get my pins for all my credit cards.  The other more positive thing. That was a joke, but so bleri true!
I am a down to earth Afrikaner and a likeble person that can fit into any crowd without any issues.

hello thank you  for the answer, can yoy give me an association or organization to apply for a job
thank you and good day

SO both of you need to introduce yourselves and tell us a bit about you, Are  you an Expat, looking to become one, wanting information, wanting to share information?

"Hi I am new here" is not much of an introduction.
