I think there should work. they are the same thing. the only problem is that people don't sell nes is stores here. maybe you can check ebay?
2 :
they arent neccasarily cheaper your nes wil only work with a step down converter otherwisw you will be sending 220 v through a machien that expects 110 v and fry it you wil also need an av cable and a tv that supports 60 hertz ( most tv's do these days ) and you can only play american nes games the nes games are region locked so you need an converter to play pal games in short its cheaper and easier to buy a pal nes and look for a converter to play usa games then buy a usa nes

I would think as long as the documentation is in up to date, yes. The requirements for teaching, pass a background check, hold valid teaching degrees, certifacation requirements met for that jurisdiction. Excetion to the rule, home schooling tutor or being home schooled. The student still has to pass school board academia requirements.

You must know your plug-in type, so that would be the 1st clue.
2 :
Yes - BUT - the voltage in America is only 110 volts - the voltage in the UK is 240 volts. Shavers sold in America will be for use on a 110 volt system, unless you already have a 110volt shaver outlet in your bathroom you will need to purchase a voltage converter when you get home again in order to use the shaver in the UK. You will need to purchase something like this :- http://cpc.farnell.com/_/mw2p-045/45w-230-110v-ac-ac-adaptor/dp/PW00942 in order to use the shaver in the UK. ##

Yep of course, you can buy a plug to plug into the plug of the shaver, and plug the actual plug LOL.. i said plug too much Sorry its like a extension lead..but it plugs into the shaver from other countries...and then plugs in like it does in england!! I hope it helps, because i dont actually know what it is called (sorry) But you will see the name, ask in airports!

Yes you may work in the U.K. However the following restrictions are in place. - You cannot work for more than 20 hours a week during term time unless your placement is part of your studies, has been agreed with your educational institution and leads to a degree or qualification awarded by a nationally recognised examining body. - You cannot do business, be self-employed or provide services as a professional sportsperson or entertainer. - You cannot work full-time in a permanent job.
