It's always funny to watch one of them ask an unsuspecting visitor how they arrived at the Plantation, then look puzzled and confused when told the visitors came by automobile. The Mayflower II, a replica of the original ship, is anchored near the rock in Plymouth harbor. It's mind-boggling to imagine over a hundred people crammed into a space not much larger than my apartment for two months. |
One question. Why turkey and not other birds for thanksgiving?

In other countries, this is very high amount for someone who really just wants to train and earn while doing it before coming back home to practice.
So yes, ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?
(Yes that was a legitimate question)
I've dropped Singapore from my list because they don't offer training unless you become a citizen, and even then you still have a conditional practicing status.
My research into taking Canada's MCC exam is looking well, but I haven't come across enough details for foreigners looking to apply at an embassy, where to get the study manuals and guides (there are however a ton for the USMLE in every bookstore) and how much the registration costs. Can anyone give suggestions?

Go South. Australia. I know a number of people who go there to study and practice before coming back here.
As for going about finding out about it, I would suggest that you ask a few Aussies here with regards to their locale and get them to email the authorities for you, like Haruka_Kitten and fallschirmjager.
WRT Singapore, I am sure that it is PR and not citizen. I'll drop an email tomorrow morning before I go to school, should be able to get a reply by Friday.
PM TRL or hope that he will see your question. I am sure in his field of journalism he should be able to get or regurgitate specific information more easily than me.
