Life After JET: Moving On
LifeAfterJET Comments Off on Life After JET: Moving On
Posted by blogger and podcaster Jon Dao (Toyama-ken, 2009-12).
————————————————————————————————————
Back in the USA! Two former Toyama ALTs discuss the ins and outs of Post JET life:
Sketchy English Teaching Jobs (4:12)
“Some of them are shady. Some of them won’t give you pension or health insurance. ” – Val
“Well, the warning sign were 1) ‘Come over on a tourist visa and we’ll take care of it when you’re here’ and 2) ‘We’re not going to be able to process your first paycheck until after two months’.” – Jon
The Decision to Leave (8:55)
“I had wanted to stay for another year or two, and I started looking for other work outside of English teaching. I actually submitted applications and had gotten interviews. And once I got those interviews, I realized I didn’t want to take them. I think in the back of my head, I was thinking ‘If I take this job, will I ever be able to get out of my comfort zone and leave’? I think a lot of ALTs are just so comfortable in Japan for whatever reason.” – Val
Breaking Away from Students/Schools (10:08)
“Breaking up with the students and the teachers– even that whole town– was difficult. It was tough. I was really involved with that school and the sports teams there.” – Randy
“I had a friend tell me ‘Just go home, I guarantee the only thing you’ll miss about Japan is the shopping and the students’. All your friends, the ALTs, they’re all going to leave eventually.” – Val
What You Miss (13:36)
“You don’t ever hear people say they miss the work.” – Jon
English Education in Asia (15:22)
“Is my teaching doing any good? I know it helps a handful of students, but for the rest I don’t know if it makes a huge impact.” – Val
“I found that probably my best students had a strong interest in movies and music. They’d write these quotes that they’re hearing or seeing and actually bringing them to me, asking me ‘What does this mean’? They would come day after day with new content. Those are the kids that ended up going to the best high schools just because of their self-motivation and drive.” – Randy
Decision Tips on Whether to Stay (18:36)
“Don’t do this just for the money. And if you decide to do so, even though you hate everyone around you, shut up.” – Jon
“It got stale for me. I didn’t have any personal motivation to improve. I really didn’t have any personal drive the latter part of my JET year. That connection I had with my kids was what really kept me going.” – Randy
“I was so stressed out. I called my close friends for advice. I wanted to stay, but I don’t know if I should because it’s making me sick. My Dad refers to Japan as Lala Land. ‘I think you’re having fun. You were having a lot of fun, but you can’t keep doing that if you’re not growing as a person.” – Val
Attraction to Japan (24:36)
“There are ALT people in Taiwan too. Most of them don’t stay. I don’t know if they have the same hangup about leaving like people do about Japan.” – Val
Doing Things Differently (27:15)
“Just be more myself when I first arrived. When I first came, I look a lot like the people around me in Japan. It’s really easy for me to go with the flow and blend in with all the other teachers. But after awhile, I said I can’t really do this anymore, I’m not a Japanese teacher. Once I let that go, I was really able to enjoy my classes more.” – Randy
“The best thing to enjoy your time is to be active with the club activities.” – Val
Omiyage Talk (32:40)
“The biggest tip I have is– you don’t have to bring a lot of gifts for your school, BOE, mayor, etc. I did meet those people, but I ended up holding onto my omiyage and giving things to people who really took care of me. You should just bring enough for about 10 people. You’re not trying to buy out other people’s friendship.” – Randy
Getting a Car (38:13)
“If you get put in a big city, then it doesn’t really matter. But I would really recommend getting a car. I made excuses about using the train, biking, walking around. You don’t want to pay for insurance and gas and that type of thing. But I was just really intimidated by the pedestrian traffic and smaller roads. Man, [having a car] would’ve made things so much easier.” – Jon”
Pension Refund (42:00)

WIT Life #247: Takao Osawa bonanza!
Film, Translating/Interpreting, Uncategorized, WIT Life, Writers Comments Off on WIT Life #247: Takao Osawa bonanza!
WIT Life is a periodic series written by professional Writer/Interpreter/Translator Stacy Smith (Kumamoto-ken CIR, 2000-03). She starts her day by watching Fujisankei’s newscast in Japanese, and here she shares some of the interesting tidbits and trends along with her own observations.
Two of Japan’s best current actors, Tatsuya Fujiwara and Takashi Osawa, in Takashi Miike’s Shield of Straw
I’m interpreting for a client in L.A. this week, and on the cross-country flight I had the chance to watch two interesting Japanese movies that were just released this year, making the long journey pass by much more quickly (Thank you Delta!). They both starred one of my favorite Japanese actors, the always かっこいい Takao Osawa. In this blog I have mentioned his appearances in other films, such as in 終の信託 (Tsui no Shintaku or A Terminal Trust) as the intimidating prosecutor. Osawa’s work never disappoints, and even though these particular movies were not necessarily of a genre I would usually opt to watch, he made sticking with them to the end worth it.
The first film was 藁の楯 (Wara no Tate or Shield of Straw), directed by the legendary Takashi Miike and based on the eponymous book by Kazuhiro Kiuchi. It features another one of my favorite performers, the fabulous Tatsuya Fujiwara who I recently highlighted from the film I’M FLASH! which debuted at this year’s Japan Society Japan Cuts film festival. Fujiwara plays a serial killer named Kiyomaru who targets young children, and Osawa is in the role of one of the Special Police assigned to safely escort him from Fukuoka to Tokyo (with Nanako Matsushima as his cracker jack partner). The grandfather of Kiyomaru’s most recent victim offers 1 billion yen to Read More

Note from JETAA Québec/Atlantique:
The 2013 JETAA Canada Conference, nicknamed “CanCon”, was held in Montréal, Québec, from May 24 to 26. It was hosted by JETAA Québec/Atlantique, with the support and sponsorship of CLAIR (Council of Local Authorities for International Relations) through the Japan Local Government Center (JLGC) in New York, and MoFA (Ministry of Foreign Affairs) of Japan through the Consulate-General of Japan at Montréal.
In attendance were JETAA delegates from the 5 of 6 other Canadian chapters, namely BC/Yukon, Southern Alberta, Manitoba/Saskatchewan, Toronto and Ottawa; representatives from the JLGC, as well as staff from the Japanese Consulate at Montreal. A representative of the Embassy of Japan was also present as an observer.
