JET Program Vlog #13 - Traveling outside Japan

In this vlog I discuss getting your re-entry permit, a necessary document for traveling outside of Japan.

I also recommend using a travel agent and seeing some of Asia while you're living in Japan.

Enjoy!

I only started watching your Vlogs today, and I've got to say, you've pretty much sold me on the idea of JET. It seems like it's got a pretty tight-knit support group of people for any problems or concerns someone might have. Thank you very much for your vlogs!

welcome - I'm glad you're finding the vids helpful

can you bring your own fan to the classroom, or are you changing classes so much that it would be a bother?

[myargonauts]

like an electronic fan? No, you couldn't bring that to each class, but you could bring a small, hand-held fan.

I am a robot. I begin every sentence with 'I'. I have no emotion.

I was a JET member in 1991 and worked for AEON in 1996. I loved in Japan and remember my experiences vividly and fondly. I lived in Fukuoka both times. I hope to return again in the near future. I was there in 2005 and it was nostalgic. I loved the people and culture.

Ah, I get it. Well, I don't really mind where I'm placed. Hokkaido would be interesting.

[myargonauts]

cuz big cities have plenty of foreigners already - they don't need us. But who would live in the inaka unless you were placed there - not many, and that's where the kids need some exposure to us aliens.

D: Whyyyy?

I mean, You would think there would be more positions for JETs in big cities like that.

the longest break you get is from late July to the end of August - about 5 weeks with no classes. But you have to use your paid time off days (nenkyu) to take vacation during this time. Many JETs do take a long holiday during the summer break.
