A student used a string to measure the circumference and diameter of a can of soup. Circumference of a Circle?
A student used a string to measure the circumference and diameter of a can of soup. The measure of the circumference was divided by the diameter. A reasonable quotient would be 1) 2 2) 3 3) 4 4) 5 The original Ferris wheel constructed in 1893 measured 76 m in diameter. The circumference, to the nearest metre was 1)239 2)152 3)477 4)119 The circumference of a circle is 18.84 m. The radius of the circle is 1)6 m 2)3 m 3)9 m 4)12 m A cylindrical barrel with a radius of 0.3 m and a height of 1 m is rolled down a ramp. The barrel makes exactly 3 revolutions while going down the ramp. The distance, in metres, travelled by the barrel is 1) 0.942 2) 1.884 3) 5.652 4) 9.4 A pizza made in South Africa in 1990 was a record 37.4 m in diameter. What was the circumference of the pizza to the nearest tenth of a metre? 1)74.9 2)58.7 3)234.9 4)117.4

How can I take my PS3 with me if I'm moving abroad?
How can I take my PS3 with me if I'm moving abroad?
I am a student currently living in the UK. I want to buy PS3 here, but when i go back home (to South Africa), will I have to pay import tax on it? Should I ship it there or should I take it with me on the plane?

im not sure can't u just put it in a suitcase to bring it with u?
2 :
You guys have compatable hookups? I'm pretty sure you'll have to pay UK vat tax on it when you buy it so if you are subject to even more taxes after that you should not buy it there. Or just lie about it and hope they don't discover it in customs.
3 :
You should tell them at the airport that it personal and it was a gift .if you ship it you would pay import taxes .Just let them know you are on vacation also

How much money should I take to Africa?
How much money should I take to Africa?
I'm spending spring break in South Africa and Kenya volunteering. The place I'm doing it transports me to & from the airport and all meals are included. I'm a poor college student, so I'm not going shopping or anything. I figure what I'll be buying is like 20 bottles of water (I drink water like it's my job), a couple of Cokes, like peanut butter crackers or something for my hypoglycemia...and like 2 meals in the airports on my way there and back home. And I guess like tipping people or something... I'll have a credit card, and I don't want to have a bunch of rands & whatever they use in Kenya left over. Does anyone know about how much money I would need for that? I have absolutely no clue how much stuff costs in Africa. I randomly found about 60 rands in my house. Is that enough? Angie - it was with my now deceased grandmother's things. She used to go to Africa and India all the time.

where did the 60 rands come from? i mean you said you know nothing about how much things cost there...well how do you just randomly have their money lying rendomly in your home? haha. ....sorry to hear about your grandmother. was she volunteering in Kenya as well? anyways, i hoped someone answer helped you out....and its really good to volunteer! i hope you enjoy your time.
2 :
no much money need
3 :
Lol@angie. R60 wont get you much though, its nothing Realy edit: also it depends when last did your grandmother go to africa?, our money changed a while ago. If its the old kind you may have a problem using it.
4 :
Budget around R10 for each take-away snack item (a bottle of water, a soft drink, a cup of tea or coffee, or a chocolate bar), about R50 for a casual sit-down meal at the airport, and R5 to tip a porter if you need one. If your R60 is old money it won't work (you may be able to change it at a bank).
5 :
It doesnt really matter how much you take the local indigenous will either mooch it from you or steal it from you.
6 :
R60 will not be enough (that's if you can still use it) As previous poster said, you should budget about R10 per bottle of water, peanut brittle snacks about R10 each... as are cokes etc. I would say if you were coming for about two / three weeks you'd do fine with R500 if you spent wisely. No luxuries etc... I have no idea about Kenya!
7 :
At the airport and most shops you'll be fine with your credit card, but the banking charges may rocket a bit. I agree with Blue Ice, Helen and GemMouse. For an average take away you can budget about R60/ meal, but you may come off it with R40 even, depending on what & where you buy. I have no idea about Kenya either, sorry... :( PS. If you want to know if your Rands are still usable then look at the pictures; R200 is orange with a leopard on the front R100 is blue with buffalo on the front R50 is dark pink with a lion on the front R20 is brown with an elephant R10 is green with a rhino R1, R2, R5 are silver coins (there is a new R5 that has bronze in the middle also) The cents are all bronze.

Well you can always ask the airport people if they do private airplanes! -- don't worry about the hotel thing. Besides that I don't think I understand what you said.

If you are a British Citizen then it doesn't matter where you live or where you were born. Like my brother, he was born in Jo'burg (SA) from English parents (because my father was born in Germany when my Grandfather was serving in the British Army it wasn't easy to get him UK Citizenship). As a British Citizen the only difference between you and someone born and bred in UK is the taxes they pay which entitles them to welfare benefits etc. However, where someone is the citizen of a British Colony (like Hong Kong - where I now live), they may have a British Passport but may not qualify for Citizenship. And would require a work visa (through a slightly easier channel). As for what to say at Customs, the truth usually works. British customs are not after honest mistakes. Apply for work from Overseas, or take a 3 months UK trip for jobsearch.

Yes, you're a citizen. Go to the counter for British citizens when you arrive and they will only do a quick check of your passport. You don't need a work permit. You can stay as long as you like. There are thousands of jobs in hotels. Apply over the Internet.

I was a 17 year old guy in Switzerland and had a GREAT time. Almost everyone speaks English, plus several other languages.

Good luck with your choices...

you picked a lot of countries where you can't really get on just speaking english! japan and uruguay? thailand? brazil? lol... you'd definitely need to learn the language, either because english isn't all that common there, or because they don't care to use it and would rather use their own language (ie japan)!! i say don't worry so much about the language part... if you're going to study abroad for any worthwhile amount of time, you'll be able to pick up a language there and do fine. i did it! and it will look great on college apps if this is what you're doing before college. but otherwise, if you really want to be able to speak english all the time and more than just small talk, you've significantly narrowed down the number of countries you could study in. oh, and all countries have "cool girls," so i guess that depends on what you mean by cool? as in they go out and party? or they're intelligent and beautiful and you can pick them up on campus? and a huge part of study abroad IS freedom... however if you will be underage when you go, the rules may be different for you, for example if you're still in high school... so you'll have to check with the programs you're interested in and ask about that to know for sure. check out ciee.org for some good programs.

Most European countries have good English programs. Of course it varies (if you look at your foreign language class, I'm sure some kids do quite well and others can barely say a sntence, even thought they ahve taken the same classes). I am on exchange in Germany and when I arrived, I felt everyone spoke really good English. Then I realized everyone speaks English and a few people speak good English -- and it's the ones with good English who talked to me in English. The others COULD speak English, but were not very good and were quite nervous about speaking to a native English speaker (once I assured them all that my part of Canada does not speak French -- Germans know Canada speaks French and English but many haven't got much of an idea as to WHERE). However, that said, I have several friends from South America who speak English fluently. Not PERFECTLY, but I can talk to them just like I talk to native English speakers. Their mistakes are only little things, like saying 'swimmed' instead of 'swam' now and then. But a foreign exchange isn't about speaking English in a non-English speaking country. It's about learning a new language; a lot of programs will not be happy if you are not learning the language. It's okay to speak English at the start (I would have no friends if I no one had spoken English to me), but one of the huge points of exchange is to learn a language if you go to a country where the language is not your native one. I was sort of not-dating this guy and while most of the reason for our not-break up was other stuff, part of it was he spoke English to me, and how was I supposed to learn any German if I started dating a guy who spoke English to me? But I digress. South America is good for partying. Europe too, but a different culture. Funny enough, I feel like the 'Canadian' parties I went to seem 'wild' here, when they were just normal parties. But Germans don't do the 'liquor in one hand, chase in the other, out at night around a bonfire (or in a house in winter) with the smell of weed in the air' thing. It took me awhile to get that when I went to a 'party' with someone, I should not except something at a house or anything, but rather something where ID is checked, money to get in is paid, there's a DJ, and drinks are sold (kinda like a school dance, minus teachers/rules and with alcohol). Plus all the girls get dressed to kill and put on their most uncomfy shoes. It's fun, but different from home. And as an exchange student, it's not hard to get attention. I'm a girl so I guess it's different, but I end up getting a lot of free drinks -- which is cool with me! Freedom is going to depend on where you live (is it safe? can you get around easily?) and your family (do they have strict rules?) and to a smaller degree, your program. I am with Rotary and some of my friends nearby are not allowed to go to Köln (Cologne) for Karneval* because it's "too dangerous". (* Basically 5 days of drinking in costumes, as I understand it, and apparently a very very big deal as people have been mentioning it since I arrived here. They all put on "poor you" faces when i say we don't have it in Canada.)

If you want something completely different from back home, go to Ghana. English is the official language but when will you ever have an opportunity to live with an African family? Ghana is a beautiful country with great beaches, and stunning nature with lots of big animals - elephants, hippos, lions, leopards, many types of monkeys and birds. Plus any family that can take in a student is going to be a wealthy family so you wont be living in a hut with no toilet, youll probably have maids and drivers and cooks. And Ghanaian girls are gorgeous. India would also be very interesting. You could go to Europe at any time but somewhere like India or Ghana would really be a change
