My Decision.

[misoyo]

I will transition my "career" to Japan.
I've made my decision.
I 've given up on studying for the state exam.
I've given up on everything I have here in the states.
I will renounce my U.S. citizenship when the time comes.

Because I've been contacted by two companies in Japan.
I will apply and show my interest because I need to be there, in Japan.

Haii, I will go to Japan. You will go in August? Do you know what city you will stay at? We will have so much fun together, guaranteeed!!!! The summer should be so great, lots of festivals and hanabi~! Kya.

Most of the programs require you get a university degree. It doesn't matter in what because as you know my resume is only full of business experience and business school. I have no experience in other crap but business. Oh and also you need to be "native" english speaker. Is english the official language in Austria? They care about that kind of stuff.

What?! You are not planning to go to uni? You should! Or go to Japanese uni and grad there, that's another good move. But it is harder. Oh I don't think they would accept that then if German is official language. You can find jobs teaching German probably yes. There is not too much of that. And wow I didn't know that! So German is your first language huh?

Asakusa, oh here is popular place for temples and shrines during new years day, many people go there. I heard some things about that city =S Kyoto should be nice!

I love how passionate you are and definatley support you in your decision! ^^ Although we don't talk much, I completley agree with you on what you want but when I tell people here, they laugh and say it's just a phase... Aiy... So I don't bother, people are too sceptical here in the UK.

But yeah, look forward to hearing about that teaching job, I heard it's hard but yeah like you say, doing it for the sake of Japan lol

[misoyo]

Aw thank you! =) Honestly I was hoping this time would be a phase but the feeling is so strong I can't resist it. It makes me go crazy and sometimes I think I need help =/

Oh but you heard the teaching job is hard? Please tell me more! I really don't know anything except I dislike it xD

[theochan]

Yeah. Basically like in the more 'popular' or international destinations like Tokyo, teaching English is slightly easier, more accepted in a way. But if you were to teach in some other part of Japan where tourists rarely go (you know like an area where people just live their lives in their own bubble, just seeing their own people everyday), the kids there are much harder to teach and can be quite negative... I don't know this first hand lol but an older friend does just that in the south of Japan, he says its such a nightmare. He's been teaching them the same chapter for the past month but they are so unenthused. So I say... go to Tokyo! Haha~

[theochan]

Ooo can I ask which companies asked you? Or are looking for teachers? Just for future reference lol~

Yea I can't wait any longer. How can you stand not being in Japan for so long? I think I'll DIE xD.
