next month or two.\u00a0 The monthly article would be a short story written by a JET alumnus about a HUMOROUS experience they had in Japan.\u00a0 Something that would highlight cultural understanding, or misunderstanding!\u00a0 :P\u00a0 The great thing is that it will be a very short piece, only about two or three paragraphs in length.\u00a0 Very concise and simple and easy to write!\u00a0 The alumnus whose article is selected will have their photo and bio next to their story.\u00a0 It&#8217;s a fun way for PNW JETAA to be introduced to the Japanese speaking community.\u00a0 Maybe next time you go shopping at Uwajimaya, an <em>obachan<\/em> will ask you for an autograph?<\/p>\n<p>If you are interested, first <a href=\"mailto:sarigenaku26@hotmail.com\">write me<\/a> and tell me that you are interested, and then write a two or three paragraph story.\u00a0 The article will be printed in Japanese, but you can write it in English for them to translate.\u00a0 Or, if you want to practice your Japanese writing skills, feel free to do so, since the editor will fix any mistakes.\u00a0 I encourage all of you to share your funny experiences with the Seattle Japanese community!\u00a0 Hope to hear from you.\u00a0 We need one story for each month, so send many of them in!\u00a0 Also, send a pic and bio information:<\/p>\n<p>Biography<br \/>\nName:<br \/>\nJET Program\u00a0 (Years and
