good luck with the JET program application! its got its ups and downs, but the good far outweighs the bad!

say hello to the lama for me (we're tight, so i can call him that).

The Dalai Lama said he didn't remember meeting you, but he hopes you are living well.

Thanks for the encouragment. I'm not that confident that I will make it, but I figure I'll give it a try and do my best.

What happened to going to Thailand? =)

I know a guy currently in his second year in the JET program, I can put you in contact if you want to ask him anything. Good luck!

Thailand is still on the table, but I'm leaning towards Japan now. There are a few reasons:

1. I can always go to Thailand later in life.
2. Japan is a more (financially) stable place for me to get my initial teaching experience.
3. I can see all my Japanese friends there.
4. A lot of my fellow gaijin friends from japan are going back, so i can see them too.
5. I can go watch Pride live.

#2 + #1 were my arguments to you over a year ago! I'm glad that you have found more reasons than just financial stability to go to Japan though.

Good luck anonymous September 25 2005, 07:18:57 UTC
