Today I went to Fushimi Inari-taisha Shrine in Kyoto, finally. It was nice, and afterwards I had curry for dinner (and strawberry cake), plus I did a little shopping. Oh, and I fell in love with this cute cat at the shrine. It only meowed when I was there but it was scared of me. I wish I hadn't eaten all of my food at lunch because I would ( Read more... )

OMG CAKE!!

hahahaha I figured I would treat myself to cake, and then had to eat it fast so I could catch the easy train (aka no changes on the way home).

oh bex, this is random, but I was wondering what other programs you applied to when you couldn't go to Japan through JET? I am currently considering going to japan for a year due to circumstances possibly ruining my hopes of going to med school next year (mostly my fault as well).

Sorry to hear about med school -_-

There are lots of ways to find jobs - one of the best is through ohayosensei (http://www.ohayosensei.com/). It's a list of almost all of the teaching jobs in Japan. It gets updated twice a month.

You can also look at gaijinpot or Dave's ESL Cafe and find jobs. Dave's ESL Cafe should have jobs all around the world, not just in Japan.

I currently work with Interac. I randomly found this site over the summer when I was looking for some information on visas. It might be helpful

Haha, lurker-me is back again...'cause I love your pics of Fushimi-inari (ok and the curry...)! I was there too, a few weeks ago, and saw the cat too (ok fine, it probably wasn't THAT cat, but still...). lol It was a nice surprise to hear "nyao" among the gates, ne?
And damn you, I sooo want curry now.

Thanks! Fushimi-inari really is pretty - I'm glad I caught it while the leaves were still changing. It was pretty cool to hear the cat, although the one I saw was off the path with the gates.
I so want curry now too even though I had it Sunday and Monday (it was part of the school lunch).
