Which area is that? I think I've seen it when last in Japan. Oh yes and Shimizu-san, new job interview on Tuesday for Japan. One for Saitama, I wanted to just let you know, as I'm quite eager for it. Hopefully starting next year I'll be teaching English in Japan for more than just a 'holiday' period.

Wait, you are going to play live action Saitama?! I have long since suspected that you are a superhero :)

Would you be doing the gaikokujin sitting when you go to Japan?

Dunno, I’d probably should I score the job just focus on work, teaching for a bit and on writing. Then when I can buy a house way up in the north.

I pray I can visit Japan one day, before I depart.

I hope I make it also, though I’d like to see France and maybe spend a few years there.

I hope your interview tomorrow goes well and opens the door to a new life in Japan. By the way, I took these photos in Nagakute, Nagoya, Okazaki and Osaka.

That’s why, I’ve lived in Nagoya and visited a few of those areas. No wonder I recognized them.

And arigatou, I sincerely hope I can pass it. I’ve also applied for a tour-guide position, giving and writing tours focused around the history of Nara, Osaka, Nagoya & Kyoto. I really hope to get called in for an interview for that position as it would be exciting stuff to research and share my love for Japan and her history with people.

I believe there is sure to be a job out there that will utilize your passion and knowledge of Japanese history.

Trouble is my knowledge of the Japanese language is mediocre at best. So if I have to I’ll start out just teaching English, and make my way through a Masters in Medieval history and go from ESL to history.

In the meantime how’s your work? Hope it’s well.

I admire your tactical approach to your career. In contrast to you, I've lived a very haphazard life. (^_^;)

Tbh I’ve lived a pretty haphazard life also thus far, I’m just trying to strategize it and be tactical.

If worse comes to worse, I’ll work for a bit as a teacher, and turn to part-time audio-narration from home and part-time teaching in the mountains of Hokkaido. The important thing for me, is to buy my ‘dream-home’ in Hokkaido and never leave it again.
