[Marked Trail]

Nah, it's worse.

[rima]

[American Oyaji]

Partially, it depends on your nationality and your expectations.

Where are you from and what do you want to get out of teaching in Japan?

[Tsuru]

If you're wealthy enough not to have to worry about being able to afford a ticket back home just go for it and have a good time, but if you're not and are planning to go and make a living from teaching don't.

With grammar like that you will fit right in.

well... you might get hit on then during a lesson your student might start beating the fuck out of you, then when you are half dead he'll have his way with you.

then he might cut you up and put your body parts on his back porch in a container....

so.... you got a picture?

Many people are making a living teaching out here. Once you get the hang of things, it's easy. I love what I do, both on and off the bus.

Thank you for not being so pessimistic, i love what i do too, and i don't believe that life in japan is that horrible, well, it's better than here anyway..

This iz what is called a "beurette"... Or as the police would say "papers, hands up and face against the wall" (I avoid the usual cute nicknames, but you get the spirit... and in my times they didn't got access to tazers, nowadays it might be an even moar unpleasant encounter...)

If you get turned on by evolutionary genetics, I'd love to discuss run-away sexual selection vs. chase-away selection anytime. Goats are optional.

[Coligny]

sorry man, i never really get american jokes, what is that supposed to mean?

No, it's not even a joke, just the guy is onto goats for personnal gratification... on his sophisticamated days...


(hints, I think iss'a just'a cover from the days where the office of strategeric services was little short on creativity...)

Well, if you're going to Japan as a college student, you won't have any problems.

A lot of people teach English on the side though. Perhaps you could find people who want an English tutor for their kid.

Just be careful because the Japanese government, like most government frowns on people working without "the proper documentation".

When do you plan on arriving?

Also, if you can, avoid mentioning Tunisia. I don't mean to offend you, but because of the media, many Japanese people have a problem with "Africans". If you mention Tunisia, they won't know where it is and then they'll ask you where it is.

If you have french nationality, I'd just mention that.
There are many Africans in Japan who say they are Americans to avoid the social stigma.

I'm an african american. Or more precisely, I am an american of african descent.

i didn't know they had an issue with africans though.

Yeah but (maybe i'm wrong) for japanese when they think african they think "little black sambo". Not sure the are aware of the concept of North african, or the fact that it's mostly an arabic population...

Ah, well, if that's the case, saying you're from Africa will blow their minds and will be a conversation starter.

And blondes are good as gold.
