Default gday from Japan

Hi,

Just wanna say thanks for the site. Its a fanatasic help that has bailed me out on a number of occasions. I figured id finally post something and be sociable.

Im currrently teaching at a JHS in Japan about 60 km out from Tokyo. Its an amazing city and an amazing country, and i highly recommend coming here if you have the opportunity. I originally came over with one of the big private English companies, but found the party lifestyle a little too much and took a job at JHS recently. Its hard but good work. The kids are great.

Anyway thanks again for the website. Fantastic resource!

Hi and welcome!

I am interested in Japan too. Quite a few posters here are working there now so I'm sure that you can hook up with them. Where are you from orginally? I am guessing Australia

thanks for the welcome guys.

Yeah im an Aussie. Im originally from a small city called Adelaide. Now i live in Kanagawa Japan. Technically its a different prefecture from Tokyo, but in reality its all one big, sprawling, polluted, fantastic city.

I teach at a JHS in a city called Sagamihara... again its basically a suburb of Tokyo, but its a long way from the centre so the kids a little bit more relaxed. They havent been so affected by that disease known as `coolness`.
