@ladyinred back to your original question: if you have a Degree, 2 years experience, a TEFL/TESOL certificate (online courses are available and accepted) it is possible to get a work visa. My advice is to find work in a place which has been around for a while and ask to be put in touch with somebody who is already working there and/or has worked there in the past. Not all the schools can help you get a visa. Working on any other kind of visa is illegal (study, tourist, business...). If you enjoy teaching kids, and if you are a native speaker (or if you are not, but you have a passport from UK, US, Australia, New Z, Canada, Ireland) it will be easy for you to get a job here. If you work for a public school/kindergarden, it will be monday to friday daytime. If you work in a private language school be prepared to work evenings and weekends. Non-native speakers can still get a visa provided they have excellent qualifications and have lived in an English-speaking country for a long time (not sure about the exact details but it's definitely possible!if the school is serious, they will know about those details). You will also need a criminal background check from your country.

If visiting only one country in the Schengen space, you should apply to the embassy/visa centre of that country. If visiting several Schengen countries, you should apply to the embassy/visa centre of whichever country is your 'main destination' - the country in which you plan to spend the most time during your trip, regardless of which flight you take.

I have never been and I am curious about it, do you know when the next one will be organised?

Also, from friends who went last time, I have heard that people were not allowed to bring their own food (not even snacks?), and that the bar was poorly managed.

Lost Garden has recently been renovated and now features a cafè/restaurant and new management. Great cozy atmosphere, just around the corner from Green Lake, lovely terrace on the third floor with lots of sun in the afternoon and the best brunch in town. We tried the breakfast skillets - very generous portions and the food is prepared using fresh local ingredients. Coffee was great and the drinks menu includes mimosas and bloody mary. Not to be missed!

Great food and nice atmosphere! A good selection of drinks —coffee, juices, wine and teas - I especially love the lemongrass tea, and lots of tasty dishes, such as lentil+tempeh+quinoa curry and the beets/tuna sashimi bowls. Lots of vegetarian/vegan/gluten-free options. highly recommended!!

I have been here several times over the last two years. High quality, authentic Italian taste. Portions could be bigger, but prices are fair, considering they use imported ingredients. I definitely recommend pizzas, desserts, lamb and steaks.
