Thanks to all who attended JETAA’s January Pub Night at Japanese bar Life; great turn-out and a brilliant time (see pics! ->).\u00a0 The following evening was another successful JETAA Creative Entrepreneurs’ Salon, where we were pleased to welcome not one, but four, members of JEEF (Japan Europe Entrepreneurs Forum)!<\/p>\n

Don’t forget to join us at the AGM this Tuesday if you are interested in getting involved with the running of JETAA in 2011.\u00a0 If organisation isn’t your thang, join us (non-ex-JETs also welcome!) for our Winter Walk on the 30th<\/sup>.<\/p>\n

JETAA London Annual General Meeting – Tuesday 25th January<\/h3>\n

The JETAA London chapter is one of the largest JETAA chapters in the world with 2000+ members. The committee consists of a Chair, Vice-Chair, Treasurer, Communications Officer, Events Officers and Careers Information Day Coordinator (for returning JETs in September), however, extra volunteers are always needed to help organise various events and activities throughout the year.<\/p>\n

All positions at the AGM will be elected by ballot and anyone who wishes to stand for a post or wants to find out more about what being on the committee involves should email Josy, the current chair, on london@jetaa.org.uk<\/a>.<\/p>\n

We hope to see you there!<\/p>\n

JETAA London Winter Walk – Sunday 30th<\/sup> January<\/h3>\n

Following the popularity of our autumn walk, we’ll have a bracing Winter Walk through South West London.\u00a0 Spend your Saturday enjoying the wholesome pleasures of a brisk stroll in the company of other JETAA members – although guests & non-JETAA are most welcome!<\/p>\n

Date: Sunday 30th<\/sup> January
\nTime: 12pm, meeting at Wimbledon Park tube station
\nVenue: A fine stroll from Wimbledon Park to Richmond.\u00a0 Highlights include: lake of Wimbledon Park, the windmill on Wimbledon Common (this is a caf\u00e9 – a good stopping off point for a coffee), and red and fallow deer in Richmond Park, waterbirds, and last but not least, Richmond’s fine riverside frontages.<\/p>\n

For more details, and a map, visit http:\/\/www.walklondon.org.uk\/section.asp?section=30<\/a><\/p>\n

We plan to stop off in Richmond for refreshments, and then take the District Line back up to Earl’s Court to finish the evening with some karaoke at the Japanese-run OnBoard Karaoke Box!<\/p>\n

Please register your interest at londonevents@jetaa.org.uk<\/a>, include your name, plus dates, years on JET.\u00a0 Please indicate if you are interested in joining us for the walk, the karaoke, or both!<\/p>\n

JETAA Members Invited to Haiku Event at the Japanese Embassy<\/h3>\n

The Embassy of Japan is hosting an evening with expert haiku poet and Japanese cultural envoy, Ms Madoka Mayuzumi from 6.30pm on Tuesday, 1 February 2011.\u00a0 Since receiving a promotional award for the 40th Kadokawa Haiku Prize in 1994, Ms Mayuzumi has contributed greatly to the revival of the popularity of haiku in Japan. Notable for its romantic and urban flavour, and for bringing new elements into the tradition, her work has been received with great acclaim.<\/p>\n

Just what exactly is a haiku? What is its place in modern Japanese society? Why not attend this special event to find out the answers to these questions and more? The presentation will be followed by a reception.<\/p>\n

Registration prior to this event is essential.\u00a0 Register by emailing haiku@ld.mofa.go.jp<\/a> with your name, affiliation, email address and telephone number, quoting ‘JET AA’ in the subject line. The deadline for registrations is 28th<\/sup> January 2011.<\/p>\n

JETWIT Tally<\/h3>\n

Nearly all of us had relatives and friends come and visit us in Japan. Some of us have brought student groups and organized other exchanges. All of this has provided tourism revenue for the Japanese economy. The goal of this project is to determine, at a minimum, the amount of tourism revenue for which JET is directly responsible.<\/p>\n

This information is particularly important amidst ongoing discussions of costs associated with the JET Programme and the JET Alumni Association. Many of the short and long term benefits have simply not been factored in. So email visitors@jetwit.com<\/a> with your responses and let’s make sure this info does get factored in to future discussions.<\/p>\n

Here’s a simple way for every JET and JET alum to do their part to support the JET Programme and the JET Alumni Association:<\/p>\n
