Hello all! Its nice to find a forum where ppl dont take themselves seriously
Ive been here ... half a Junk. (thats 4 - 5 years) Married to my lovely Japanese husband with no kids and none coming soon.
I work out in the cute-little-towns-side of Tochigi.
I started at a large Eikaiwa corporation which went bankrupt,(ooh which one could THAT be) then a smaller school teaching business men. Then somehow in their wisdom, they decided that all my years of teaching adults and upper managers was a great foundation to start working in the Japanese school system. With little kids. And the Hello Song. Yes Im still bitter. I was thrown in the deep end with no preparation. I didnt even know you had to take off your shoes! (who takes off their shoes to enter a school??) (apparently everyone in Japan)
But now that I figured out some things, I enjoy teaching the kids much more than the adults.
In my free time I am a gamer, book reader, Japanese studier, and once in a while I pop into Second Life to see how my little mermaid business is doing.I sell tails and animations and some other small scripts.
I dapple and tinker in all sorts of things but a master of none.
Happy to find these forums!!
Nice work guys.
