<tt>Hello All

So has anybody else in the UK (or otherwise) got Okinawa?

I"m in a place called Chenin Village about 20 miles away from the capital
Naha. I"ve heard from my pred who seems lovely. I get to take a speed boat
to a school on an island every wednesday. Sounds like paradise!

Haven"t heard about any other Okinawa bound JETs except for Vince. So come
on, show yourselves! I heard there were gonna be about 50 newbies there this
year!

Not in Okinawa but just had to say the speedboat thing sounds great. What they
don"t mention is that you have to ski behind the boat!

<tt>Hi Lucy

I"m from Kent and I have also been placed in Kumamoto (in Kumamoto
City) so I"ll see you at the pre-orientation!

Come join us on www.ithinkimlost.com & www.bigdaikon.com and you"ll
find some more people who have been placed there too.... People have
been telling me great things about the prefecture - and we also got
lucky with a ruling that only allows you to work 20 days each month -
so if there are more than 20 working days a particular month you get
the rest off as holiday (around 8-10 extra days off a year). Not bad!

Anyway, see you soon!

<tt>Hey Lynette,

Yes I"ve been to Japan twice before (or maybe three times if you
count the stopover on the way to the Philippines). On my two
week trip I bought a rail pass and went all the way down to Kyoto,
Hiroshima and Miyajima. I think i tried to do too much in the
short period I was there. It was exhausting but lots of fun.

Hi Chris,
Good to hear from you. Hang in there as upgrades should
happen very soon. Sounds like you have a lot of teaching and
international experience, so you probably have a good chance.
Take care and good luck with your finals.

Howdy SD folks!

Good to know more folks that went through the LA consulate
and are in
the SD area as well.

I"m also an alternate and am hoping that Angel (the lady at the
JET
office in LA) will send word soon of upgraded LA alternates. I"m
a
bit nerve-wracked since I am juggling school, work (I travel out
of
state and country at least 3 times a month) and worrying about
JET.
Not healthy. @_@

I"m in the process of finishing my degree in political science
(I.R.)
and have studied in Japan before so I have some passing
knowledge of
Japanese. Heck, I"ve even tutored Japanese exchange
students in
English before. Granted that lasted for a quarter and I don"t
think
they got too much out of it. Amused they were though.

Hey Joe,

Thanks for crossing your fingers! =) I know there"s at least
one
other
alternate from UCSD also. I"ve got some experience teaching
- not
much
tho.. I used to teach religion classes at chruch - I did that for 2
and a half years... that was more like babysitting. I"m sure
you"ll
do
fine in Japan tho.. no need for nervousness - just have fun
with
it!

Wow - you used to mentor at Freese - I"m not exactly sure
where that
is but I know it"s somewhere in my area. Have you ever been
to
japan?
I was there earlier this year.. I loved it!

Hi Lynette!

So far, there are at least three people from UC San Deigo
that
will be going to Japan this year. I hope you get upgraded
and
will keep my fingers crossed for you. I actually graduated
with
a
B.S. in Biochemistry/Cell Biology. The only kind of teaching
experience I have is training lab assistants and TEP130
(class
at UCSD) in which I was a mentor at Freese Elementary in
South
San Diego. It will be totally new to me and I am kind of
nervous.
Yikes!! :) Do you have teaching experience?

<tt>In that case - I"ve been to Japan twice including the stop over to the
Philippines! Haha. What did you think of the Philippines? I wasn"t in
Japan for too long - it was only for 10 days and I only went to parts
of Tokyo and Saitama. I didn"t spend too much time trying to do too
much sight-seeing, I had a feeling that I"d eventually be back in
Japan and I"d have plenty of time to do that. Go figure - I"m still an
alternate... but we"ll see happens.. I know I"ll eventually get

That"s odd, I"m in Group B.

Yep, know the area, it"s about an hour from where I currently work.

Kumomoto was my first choice as fancied somewhere in the south and
it sounds like a nice area, lots of outdoor things to do.

Who"s going to the reception on Thursday in London?

Does anyone have any idea when we"ll hear from our schools,
apparently we can only make contact with the current JET once we"ve

Good to know more folks that went through the LA consulate and are in the SD area as well.

Not healthy. @_@ I"m in the process of finishing my degree in political science (I.R.) and have studied in Japan before so I have some passing knowledge of Japanese. Heck, I"ve even tutored Japanese exchange students in English before. Granted that lasted for a quarter and I don"t think they got too much out of it. Amused they were though.

I"m sure you"ll do fine in Japan tho.. no need for nervousness - just have fun with it! Wow - you used to mentor at Freese - I"m not exactly sure where that is but I know it"s somewhere in my area.

So far, there are at least three people from UC San Deigo that will be going to Japan this year. I hope you get upgraded and will keep my fingers crossed for you. I actually graduated with a B.S. in Biochemistry/Cell Biology. The only kind of teaching experience I have is training lab assistants and TEP130 (class at UCSD) in which I was a mentor at Freese Elementary in South San Diego. It will be totally new to me and I am kind of nervous. Yikes!! :) Do you have teaching experience? JOE

Who"s going to the reception on Thursday in London? Does anyone have any idea when we"ll hear from our schools, apparently we can only make contact with the current JET once we"ve signed our contracts.

I"m going to the pre-orientation on the 5th & 6th, Group A (I think that"s what you mean too - there are only two in London, 5/6 & 7/8 and I think that everyone going down to Kyushu are all in Group A) so look forward to seeing you there! Out of interest, why did you choose Kumamoto as your first choice? Have you spent time there before? I chose Kansai, Kanto and Hokkaido as my choices and was a little suprised when I found out I was going to Kumamoto! I used to live near Osaka a long time ago but never ventured down to Kyushu when I was in Japan - so this is going to be a real adventure! Alex Hey! No, I think the town which the beer comes from is a different one near Tokyo. Good to hear from you Alex, which part of Kent are you from? and which induction are you attending in London? I"m going to the 6th and 7th. Yeah, it does sound like a cool prefecture, can"t wait to hear from the school so I can get in touch with the current JET there! Lx Yahoo!

I have been placed in a town called Asahi, but it"s so small I can"t find it on the map (any ideas of a good online map that will show it"s location??) anyone else going to this prefecture or currently there? Really pleased as it was my first choice :) Any other Southern UK JETs out there?? L Yahoo! Groups SponsorADVERTISEMENT --------------------------------- Yahoo!
