I hear such mixed things in the JET Programme and it's made me realize how lucky I got with my placement and schools and life. I want to hear others share the good things about their life in Japan on this program for a healthy dose of good news.
I'm in Kanazawa, a city I love, at a school I feel fulfilled working at. My apartment wasn't too damaged in the earthquake and my friends who were in Noto all came out okay, thank god. My co-ALT and coworkers are wonderful. I am SO happy to not be living in the US right now and I shockingly feel very respected as a trans person who is allowed to express themselves androgynously in the workplace. I like my apartment and the plants I grow there, and I had a great time going to festivals in Toyama for Golden Week.
ESID, but what are some good things about your situation? I want to hear them! Even if it's something small 🙂
