O hai, long time no see

[Bex]

O hello.

Some of you probably don't remember me; apparently I haven't been on this forum for nearly a year?

But hi, I'm Bex. I moved to Japan, which is why I haven't been around ever.

How u duin

久しぶりですね。

 

[Tennyo]

Oh, hello Bex. How have things been?

 

[Ⓐaron]

Welcome back an' shit How's Japan?

 

[Bex]

Pretty great, got to play Lightning Returns and FFX/X2 remaster before everyone so I've got that going for me.
Also it's like 18 degrees c in Feb so that's pretty amazing.

 

[Ⓐaron]

Good times. Of course it's around 20°C here so I've got it even better but still

Are you teaching English or what? I've pondered going to Asia to teach English myself but I don't think I could afford Japan My top choice is probably D.C. though, but again, that's expensive too :/

 

[Bex]

I teach English on the JET Programme. Depending on where you get placed, it's not expensive at all. I live in the middle of the countryside so I don't pay much rent and have it pretty good. You get paid well enough to save and travel. Also it depends which path you take to teach English, I hear some people have it pretty bad with the big eikaiwa companies.

Might be something worth looking into then. Who knows, a complete change of scenery might do me well. Cheers for the info.

 

[Hisako]

I moved to Japan

Wow that's a hell of a seachange. Mad props

I was wondering where y'all went, was on my mind for quite some time. Don't be a stranger~

I'll have to ask which company, but I have a friend who went to Japan to teach English. The CEO or whatever of the company she worked for apparently embezzled money and fled. The school was closed down and all of the teachers were left stranded in Japan to fend for themselves. :/

 

[Bex]

I think that was NOVA? JET is funded by the Japanese government so it's a little more secure than the private eikaiwa companies.

also tanx 4 the welcome backs

 

[AvecAloes]

Welcome back not gonna lie, totally jealous of your awesome opportunity to live and teach English in Japan!

 

[Alex Strife]

Yo! It seems you're enjoying it. Sounds great!! Keep enjoying it more and welcome back!

If it wasn't for the fact I intend to work in the area I intend to work, that would absolutely be my choice. Teaching English (I am technically an English teacher) in Japan!! Cool......!
