Japan calling

[HVC]

Dammit i should have copyrighted it. Now if it shows up on conservative ads i shall feel cheated

Fine.  See if I ever give you praise again if that's how you're going to act.

Sorry, i get praised so rarely i don't know how to act

[garbon]

Practice shitting while squatting before you go.

Meh, I tend not to sit on the toilet when I shit anyway :p

Eek another Mongers outside of Madonna's estate.

[Pedrito]

Congrats Tyr!

I'm overqualified for Jet.

I'm overqualified for Jet.

How's that?
On the Jet forums there are a fair few people with teaching qualifications.

I hear they favor the young kids straight out of college. Anyways, I've a job until October, so I can't do Jet anyways.

[Camerus]

Cool.  Enjoy it.

It seems everyone in the world has gotten their placements except for the Brits. No doubt our embassy has decided to keep the royal mail in business instead of sending emails.
I'm very anxious. I'm dreading being placed in Okinawa or the like.
Its been made even worse as in lurking the Jet forums I see people getting my favoured placement.

Applying doesn't start until November.
And I'm not sure about preferring young kids. One of the main Jet folks on youtube is 30-something. And at the jet forum I post on there's a girl who is a qualified teacher and has been teaching a few years.

Your worldview is going to be so challenged...

I got a letter from the Japanese embassy today.
Apparently I'm shortlisted for the Jet programme.
Just so long as I get my medical forms in on time (damn you easter, damn you slow results processing) and the police don't attribute any crimes to me I'm going to be moving to Japan come August to be an assistant language teacher.
A well paying, interesting job in a country I've always wanted to visit....
I am: Happy.

We have folk here who've lived in Japan before right?

Congratulations lad *, hope it all works out well.




* Am I old enough to use that expression, must be at least a 1/4 century between us ?

Why so jolly and kindly these days Mongers?  Laying some pipe?

When does the spring semester start? April?

Why?  When I was there, I had the strong impression of Okinawa as essentially a "Japanese" Hawaii.
