First of all, let's talk about the place. I learned about the Welsh Settlements there while I was in Puerto Madryn, in Patagonia, Argentina. This is where they first landed, and indeed along the shorefront some of the ruins of their first dug-out homes still exist. It must have been tough.
Fortunately they expanded, and the town of Gaiman is the Welsh ...

I cross-posted your question here. According to the forum's moderator, there is a well-connected Spanish teacher named Ramon who can probably help you. Looks like you can find his contact info here: http://www.sanpedrospanishschool.org/pages/contacts.html

I am afraid there is not such a thing as national Polish student ID. There are only the IDs of respective Polish universities which you need to be enrolled to (or be a part of student exchange program) in order to get one.
However, from my observation - they will accept foreign student ID (and some international cards like ISIC or Euro26) in most places - ...

The only international student ID I am aware of is ISIC and in Poland you can get one in one of the places listed on their Polish web site: http://www.isic.pl/index.php/gdzie-mozna-wyrobic-karte.html
I don't know if they will be willing to issue you with a card based on your American student ID though. It might depend on local branch managers ...

You will not be able to re-enter Israel on your expired student visa, but you can obtain an ordinary tourist visa (B/2) on arrival, which will be good for up to 90 days. If you can narrow your time to a few days, you might be issued a transit visa on arrival instead.
Provided you have not violated the terms of your student visa and meet the usual ...

I'm going to assume you're from the UK, based only on the fact the learning to fly abroad is popular for UK residents, since many places offer flight time cheaper than the UK. You're from Saudi, but I don't think that changes anything. The southern USA used to be the venue of choice, because of low flight time costs and reliably good weather. I understand ...

Sailing is actually a pretty diverse field. There's a lot to learn, and a lot of choices to make about what to learn. E.g. Racing or cruising? Big boats or small boats? Keel boats or catamarans? Solo or crew?
That being said, you should be able to find an introductory crew course that will fit into 2 days. One day is likely to be a stretch since it's ...

Most Computer Science conferences I've attended have some sort of student travel grant program. Most ACM-sponsored conferences have them. There are also a number of endowed funds through the IEEE that give travel grants. The Computing Research Association also provides generic travel grants specifically designed for female Ph.D. students in Computer ...

I would shift the "focus" of the travel grant search from "PhD" to "Computer Science," and find out which "computer science" organizations can help you.
As a PhD candidate, you represent what is "fresh" in the field. Thus, you have something to offer to more experienced practitioners (or, for that matter, to undergraduate students). I would look for ...

I am very interested in this question since I love languages myself. I spent quite long time trying to find an answer, searching all over the internet using English, Arabic and some Urdu. Unfortunately no teacher, course or school were found.
Anyway, I found the Burushaski language page in the Endangered Languages Project site, which led me to the ...

If you can't find out anything on-line, just take some time when you get to Tokyo. Find the addresses of some schools and actually go there and hang around outside, then ask some of the students for their opinions as they come out for a break.
I did this when I learned Spanish in Antigua (Guatemala) which is full of Spanish schools.

A number of conferences in your field may provide travel grants to the conference, be sure to check around the website as they're often hidden. Other places to check:
Your university. Many offer one-time or the like travel grants to graduate students.
If its for field work - though I have a hard time imagining what that might be for computer science, many ...

I'm afraid you'll have to learn Korean first!
From Jeju's 'endangered' dialect article from The Jeju Weekly :
An after-school program for learning the dialect is offered in a couple of public schools.
This suggests that it should be possible. The article even mentions an iPhone app about the Jeju language, but I didn't find it.
The Jeju Special ...

I have been studying in Korea for two years have have never seen a case like that, so the answer may be no :) Koreans fought very hard to enter universities and admission is kind of a privilege you have to earn, and class sizes are generally small enough for the instructor to remember everyone's name. You can freely roam most campuses and enjoy the landscape ...

I am native Burushaski speaker but unfortunately we can't afford schools to teach Burushaski. The best way to learn such a language to work and live with locals and I would recommend Hunza (Karimabad, Aliabad) where you can find people who are interested in learning your language and in exchange they can help you learning Burushaski.
We have an ...

For this answer, the most important thing is to know what are you doing in France for the long term?
Study: first find the school and normally the French consulate in Israel should issue this after some red tape. Link to OFII
Work: find the firm
You could also check this question: French rules for long stay visa: OFII
So you have to go to the local ...

Firstly, the Indian visa in France gives out visas to India. Assuming you're on an Indian passport, this is useless to you. You need to go to the embassy/consulate of the country for which you want a visa - eg if you are going to Egypt, you go to the Egyptian embassy in France.
My belief is that your long stay visa (more than three months) falls under the ...

Exactly what Mark Mayo said, just check Google next time or go to Delhi's main bazaar and ask in any of the music instrument shops, most of them offer sitar lessons and they all provide sitars for it.
Here is a one that was recommended by a fellow traveler when I mentioned this question over dinner:
Dhingra Musicals
Rajat is giving the lessons in a room ...

This one looked the most 'friendly' I could find with a quick search.
However, it would seem there are plenty around, if you have a look at this list, for example.
So I suggest maybe calling a couple of them and seeing what they say, how their English is, and whether they provide a sitar - I suspect they would in most cases.

It's vague as to whether you mean 'a course of being treated' or a course to learn. Assuming treated, you could consider:
Kerala Ayurveda - a training school, they have a course of 7 or 14 days. It can be extended as well. It seems they do education AND treatment, so that should satisfy either of the possible requirements that you're after.

Does your friend know they can work while here on a student visa? Once their course has started they can work to 40 hrs a fortnight or maybe more, depending on their visa subclass. (See Permission to Work Arrangement for Student Visa Holders)
However, if they want to stay on after their course they'll need a Working Holiday Visa as you suggest and since ...

Book it when you get there. Most cooking classes - even the popular ones near Bangkok's Khao San Road - are never full. Just book them a day before you plan to attend, although sometimes you can also walk in on the day itself.
Source: I didn't attend a class, but I looked around and spoke to cooking class place owners and people who took them at my hostel. ...

I would highly recommend learning to fly in France with Cosmo Flight School, an English flying school in the beautiful Limousin region of France, operating out of Limoges airport.
They offer:
Flight Training under JAR-FCL / EASA regulations for the Private Pilot's Licence - Aeroplane.
Night Ratings and
PPL Ground School
They will also assist with ...

Almost everything in Thailand is best booking here. Most things are over copied here, so it is rare there are over subscriptions (hotels, events or courses). They also take advantage of tourist willing to pay more via the internet and also often pay intermediary companies to host the internet pages and take a finders fee from it. Also, often the better ones ...
