I'd say to be on the safe side if you are very worried about it then wait but I believe all you will probably need is to replace the power cable leading to the system and the power brick will protect it from being fried and even if it does call up sony and the'll send you another

yes, all ps3 models have a universal power supply meaning ps3 has 100-240v power supply. i have a u.s. ps3 that says 110v but im using it here in the philippines where the ac is 240v.

Do you need to speak French and Dutch to work in Belgium
Do you need to speak French and Dutch to work in Belgium?

No, but it will make finding a job very difficult if you don't speak either of these languages. In other words, you would need to have qualifications that are in high demand but are hard to find in Belgium. If you only speak French, you could possibly find a job in the South, and if you only speak Dutch, a job in the North. Of course, if you only speak one of the two, having the right credentials and qualifications will probably still be an important factor in finding a job. As unemployment is lower in the North, if you have to choose between the two, go for Dutch. Though it can't hurt to learn French as well. Being able to speak both languages however will make it a lot easier to find a job anywhere in the country. Especially in Brussels were many jobs require you master both sufficiently enough to handle customer relations.

Go to the hospital ask a doctor on staff.
2 :
this is very difficult because we have the so called Numerus Clausus that means that there is a limited number of jobs as a doctor per year and students are privileged. Even so, many students are sent away by the university because they are too many on very few jobs, so only the best ones can succeed. You'd rather try your luck elsewhere, in Belgium is hell difficult to get a job as a doctor.
3 :
It's by the RIZIV. Most of the doctors fear that organisation even when the RIZIV do so many faults.
4 :
First thing that came into mind is the Order of Doctors. Every doctor has to be registered with that order. Checked the site: only in French in Dutch. It only has the requirements for doctors inside the EER+Switzerland. but since you aren't from Europe the requirements of documents are different for each country/ It's best to contact the order: http://www.ordomedic.be/nl/contact-formulier/ (First Name/Family Name/email/subject/message Verzenden=Send) If you don't get any reaction, try the Department of Health: info@health.fgov.be

When will I be able to work after marriage in Belgium
When will I be able to work after marriage in Belgium?
My better half is Belgian and prefers that we settle in Belgium after marriage bc of his job. I'm a microbiologist and the embassy informed me that I wont be able to work for an undefinite time. Im worried I'll be redundant in Belgium after some years. Besides that, I am asian and my biggest fear is racism and how the locals would accept the presence foreigners as myself as I have no choice in this situation.

Once married, you should have no problem in being allowed to work. Racism, Belgians are pretty open, do not forget it's quite a small country, so lot's of foreigners and intercations with other countries
2 :
I think that after you get married and apply for a working permission you'll only have to wait for a couple of months until you get it and can start working. It's only a matter of a couple of months or so, not years. But whether you'll be able to work as a microbiologist in Belgium probably depends on where you got your education. The EU doesn't recognize education from certain countries or schools that have different standards than the EU.
3 :
the fact that you have a specific field of expertise should make that the bigger companies in your line of work normally have a siege here in Belgium. a lot of universities also have jobs in very specific research area. R&D is being promoted a lot here so it wouldn't be so hard. If your paperwork is all fine, you actually could start applying for jobs from the second you get settled even if you're not yet married. You just have to get a permit to work. Anyways if you already want to look for jobs here are some sites: http://www.jobat.be http://www.vacature.be http://www.vdab.be About the racism: well not everybody is equally open minded, I was born in belgium, but I'm not a belgian. So I've had my share of petty jokes and nasty remarks. But if you're an open person and outgoing you'll make friends very easily. The sooner you'll work the easier you'll get accepted, even by the more narrowminded jerks. Good luck on your search & congratulations.
