Re: Moving to the Land of the Rising Sun
Actually...the 9000 people involved in the JET Programme every year...the majority of them don't speak Japanese when they enter the country. As this is the 20th year of the Programme, I'll hope that not every single one of them is wrong. =PNo commentComment

Re: Moving to the Land of the Rising Sun
it's a lot easier to assimilate it all when you're surrounded by it. it will be daunting at first, but you will eventually catch on. plus, I'd imagine that your company would provide some sort of training or something.Comment

OK, thank you. That clears everything up.
Yeah, I wanna do this when I graduate. Maybe.Comment

Japanese Exchange and Teaching Programme
People keep asking me if I got onto the JAP Programme...much to my chagrin.
I'll keep a webblog, and keep everyone updated on how cool the video games are there. =P I already know who Hardgay is Valky. ^_~
Glueme, they apparently don't know the difference between Canucks and Americans...I just hope I'm not told to speak in an American accent. That'll suck. But they don't hate them...they're sorta in awe of the foreigner (or gaijin).Last edited by Shadow Rider; 04-05-2006, 09:41 AM.No commentComment

Re: Moving to the Land of the Rising Sun
If my experience was any indication nobody except a few high schoolers will pay you any mind.
And the temples and stuff were actually my favorite part of my trip.Comment
