\"Montana\"Are you a JET alum in Montana<\/strong>?\u00a0 Do you know any JET alums in Montana?\u00a0 Then get in touch with Pat Hauge<\/a> (Nagasaki-ken, 2006-09)<\/strong>.\u00a0 He’s looking to link up with other JET alums in the (rather large) vicinity.\u00a0 Here’s his request:<\/p>\n

I just returned from 3 years on JET in Nagasaki, and am living back in Missoula. Just wondering if there are any ex-JETs in the area. If so, I’d love to hear from you and maybe meet up for lunch or a Missoula microbrew.<\/p>\n

Looking forward to hearing back from you,<\/p>\n

JetWit followed up with Pat to find out how life is out there and how he gets his “Japan fix.”\u00a0 Here’s Pat’s response:<\/strong><\/p>\n

I have recently returned home after a long 3 years in Japan so I’m still working on satisfying my “Montana fix”. Though I guess the biggest thing I miss at this point would be sashimi.I lived on a small fishing island off the coast of Nagasaki ken where the raw fish was as dank as you could find. There are a couple decent Japanese restaurants here in Missoula, Sushi Hana and Nara, which both have dollar sushi night’s. They’ll never really compare, but I guess they do give me that weekly fix.\u00a0 There are quite a few Japanese college students here in town at the University of Montana, so I have a chance to practice my Japanese and hear some eeeeee’s, or sugoooi’s which makes me feel not quite as far away from the rising sun.<\/p>\n

Although living in Japan on JET was an amazing experience, I am actually quite happy being back in Missoula, Montana (even though it was -10 degrees Fahrenheit in early October last week) where I just bought a house and am beginning a career as a financial planner.<\/p>\n

If anyone is in the area I’d love to get together, chat about Japan, grab a pint of beer, or eat some dollar sushi, so hit me up!<\/p>\n

cheers,<\/p>\n
