Can we talk about the Japanese Emperor? I hate to say it, but this is a topic I know nothing about and its not something I'd like wikipedia to solve.
That is a great idea! I'll PM you, like literally after I finish this.

Yeah, while there is nothing wrong with a clan signature, generally smaller is better so if there is a smaller picture that can be used that would be great.


You can pay for school, but you can't buy Class.

Name:Gary
Interest: 3d animation, graphic arts, video games (cant say oriental soo.. ) East Asian cultures, women, traveling, and being rich with experiences more so than wealth.

Reason: Always had a interest in Japanese language and culture, so id like to leach useful informations from you guys. Recently i visited Japan and now i want to take a break from my current career to be and english teacher in Japan.

So i have a question I plan on applying to the JET program after i get my US citizenship just wondering if being TEFL/TESOL certified would substantially increase my chances of being excepted and placed. Also, does anyone know of any better programs than JET?

Movie suggestion: Its rare i watch Japanese movies but last night i just happened to watch one "Tokyo Gore Police" Im not recommending it, but i found it very funny, i consider it to be a live action version of some strange hentai anime. Dont watch it unless you want to laugh or be disgusted.

Well I've personally never been in JET so I'm not sure what's what, but I can ask one of my friends I think she might know. IF i find anything out I'll be sure to let you know.
I saw Tokyo gore police on Netflix, and I'm going to check it out... Hope it's good!

Tokyo Gore Police, that's three great tastes that go great together!

As far as I've heard, JET is really the best option. The pay ain't bad considering, and they won't f*ck you over too much. Plus they'll put a roof over your head. I've got a buddy in Japan through JET right now. He loves it, and get this - one of his schools is 30 minutes away, so they gave him a company car

No, frat brothers. It was just something from college that we said all the time. My signature was something different at first, but I changed it because it reminded me of the good ol' days.

Are you implying something? I'd hate for that to be the case.

We did, that's why I said it reminded me of the good ol' days. We just took different career paths after we graduated. But even after college we're still frat brothers KAΨ Kappa Alpha Psi!

One of the schools I worked at was a trainstop away, so they paid my trainfare both ways. I just rode my bicycle there (unless it was raining) and pocketed the rest.
