[tobco79]

[myargonauts]

[APOKALYPSE34]

ahahah baked! that nearly made me fall off my chair!

Glad to hear your back in Japan just remember keep pimping! 

[Orctrist]

Awesome Jason! Glad your back and crack'n. You are truly an inspiration my friend. Your doing the dream job I'm aiming for. Well not exactly in teaching but in film and television. Send out some good vibes my way and once again congrats on the new chapter and adventure of your life.

[spekion]

Congrats and good luck!!

[7elmig]

HI, Jason, mighty glad you're back in Japan. Looking forward to your videos on your new Japanese surroundings.

[Batmanshack]

[mTANGproductions]

[olmyjulia]

Congrats on making it back to Japan! I'm glad you made it there safely!!

[DanielGuerrera]

Good to see you made it safely to Japan.

Look forward to seeing your videos here and chatting on Juku again!

[WhiteMatrix2006]

Look at you with your new camera and your new mac book pro! Glad to see you are back in japan. I look forward to more of your videos and can't wait to see some more of Japan. You may have answered this in one of your other videos which I am getting ready to watch anyways, but what city are you moving to? I'm assuming it's a teaching job as well.

[MrSeriyokuzenyo]

Hi Jason,

Is it just me? It seem that the overall activity of J Vloggers has been very quiet.

[myargonauts]

@MrSeriyokuzenyo haha - well, it's too hot outside!! :P

As for me, it will be October before I get back to regular video making - September is a crazy month for me...

[HARRISINGH]

I was baked too, its so hot here my head hurts.

[atomicboyx]

welcome back jason!

[azuth20]

Congrats,and welcome back to this side of the globe. which part of the country are you Teaching now?

[myargonauts]

@azuth20 i'm teaching at a uni in southwestern honshu - start next week

[Stryder2720]

Awesome man, congrats!! I'm applying for JET in October and hope to be there in 2011. Stay safe and have fun at your new job!

[jessypoo20]

yea its very hot right now in japan....I keep my ac on all weekend. My job has ac so thank goodness for that!

[KansaiJesse]

The heat has been merciless. Well, maybe not the heat as much as the sun. I got my first sun burn in well over 5 years the second day I was in Osaka.

[peod666]

Glad you're back! :D Have fun!

[fuzionN]

So your new work is also teaching related?

How common is it for JET participants to find outside employment in Japan from being on the programme?

[hojoojoh]

@fuzionN good question, also curious

[myargonauts]

@fuzionN my guess is most JETs choose to go home when they finish with JET, but those that choose to stay can often find other teaching work - depends on your salary needs, locale desired, and how much Japanese you speak, etc.

[NipponSky]

is that a super hotel? the windows look the same with the glassy fog so u cant even see outside! ugh hated that place.

[myargonauts]

@NipponSky haha - yep. Altho I'm back at the same place tonight and I have a completely clear window to look thru - just a parking lot, but it has a view! :)

[Temoshi]

Congratulations, Jason. This has probably already been answered several times over, but you're going to be teaching college students this time around?

[myargonauts]

@Temoshi yep - college kids this time

[StarDr0ps]

I've never heard of the term "baked" used for smoking. lol Then again, I don't smoke, so I wouldn't know. xD But anyway, glad you made it there safely! So if you mind me asking, what job will you be doing here? And are you doing this by yourself since you aren't with JET or are you with a different program?

[myargonauts]

@StarDr0ps getting this question a lot, so I will soon make a "why and how I'm back in Japan" vlog and explain

[nyannyan123456]

alright looking forward to your new videos in nihon.

[mafurock33]

congrats!

[kua514]

glad to see you're back and that the trip over went alright! looking forward to more stuff !

Peace!

[murasakiryu]

Excellent! Looking forward to this leg!

[COLTENPHILLIPS7]

Nice man, if you live near by a famous city in Japan film some nice footage at night. Im off to Atlanta Georgia today. I live in Alabama. But my home state is North Carolina

[BusanKevin]

Glad to see you made it back sir! :)

[dylandior123]

Jason, the end of your video you just swore at me! lol

ONE (middle) finger in America is rude, TWO fingers (middle and index) with the back of the hand facing outwards is rude over here in Great Britain.

I don't know why. Must be the exchange rate! LOL :-p

Is that the sign for peace in Japan?

Your videos are very insightful and interesting as always.

[myargonauts]

@dylandior123 haha- I certainly didn't mean to give "the bird" to all of YouTube UK - :P

actually, the peace sign here is usually given "palm out" if you will - so that was just me being weird.

[dylandior123]

Oh cool I didn't know that, Jason. That's what makes the planet so cool - the differences. :)

I don't mean that to sound like I'm on a podium and someone gives me a 3 clap applaude. Soap box? High horse? I dunno lol.

Anywaaays lol... I love your videos and think they're brilliant.

[TokyoBrando]

have fun Jason, enjoy your uni job mr smart guy!

[Graehaus]

Glad to see you on YT again, can not wait to see your future adventures

[mostawesomestjes]

Welcome back! ^_^

[Maeikatk]

You looked really good in this video. :)

[myargonauts]

@Maeikatk the funny thing is that with my new version of iMovie, I forget that they add the letterbox bars so I need to center my head more so the top doesn't get cut off

[beikokujin]

Welcome Back Jason

[L7frost]

Hey Jason! I'm a new JET this year and I finally made it to Japan :). I commented on one of your videos awhile back and you offered advice and encouragement so I just wanted to thank you again. Your videos are really awesome, and congrats on making it back to Japan! Ive been filming some videos in Japan as well so check them out if you've got some time! Cheers :)

[hirokivary]

おかえり～

[monkeystu52]

Grand. Hope you settle into your new place okay. I'm sure you know the area! but new apartment and all that. Maybe meet you (and Shanyn) one day soon!

[InsaneClown2]

[tiggergirl06]

[kansaiPJ]

[TkyoSam]

HOOKERS!| AND BLOW!!!...and Jason!

[lateblossom]

Congrats!!! I'm glad you made it back. Waiting for your next vid!

[RelVleDy]

Why'd you go back if you can't participate in JET? Are you just going as a tourist? How long do you plan on staying?

[myargonauts]

@RelVleDy maximum for JET is 5 years - so I'm done with JET, but I got what appears to be a fine and dandy new job - I start next week

[goodboy20022002]

1 Q: are you as excited now as u were for the 1st time?

[myargonauts]

@goodboy20022002 good question and I'm sure the topic of a future vlog - a different set of expectations and emotions this time around - different struggles ahead - JET really holds your hand when you're new.

[goodboy20022002]

@myargonauts

hmmmmmmm well said...

all the best!!!

[goodboy20022002]

welcome back

[tengyang2001]

Congratulations! I hope things work out for you!

[drhikarisan]

w00t, congrats on being back jason

Hope the new job works out well for you

Wouldnt it just be easier to book the round trip and then cancel it later though?

[Gimmeaflakeman]

Welcome back!

[yokohamaguy75]

Glad you made it without TOO many problems and hassles.

[tmichiko]

Can't wait your new video! Gambatte!

Hope you are going to like the new place even better than Shimane!

[nihonjohnny]

BTW, I haven't heard your "baked" allusion in a long, long time. But, then again, you just returned from California!

[nihonjohnny]

Welcome back, Jack!

[Noxp]

Good luck, have fun!

[joelmb1000]
