Just in case you do end up near the affected area or meet someone who was affected (they aren't only in tohoku at jte in Hokkaido lost her whole family) instead of thinking about how sad it is focus on what you can do to make things less sad for them.


I will definitely try! I usually pretty good at cheering people up-kinda my superpower ;) Just felt that I should explain myself to people in earlier posts so they don't take me the wrong way

Better than the plane headed from Toronto to Narita that had to turn around because it lost its engine and pieces of it fell down onto a suburb in Ontario.

If I only know I'm a prefectural ALT, does it mean I am somewhere on the mainland, or could I still be placed on one of the smaller islands? Not that I would mind, just curious thank you for your opinion!

The spambots are getting more clever. This one almost fooled me.

I was wondering if it was spam... I'd never seen that person on the Aspiring Canadian JETs board before, but I thought maybe I had missed something...

Hey, I'm in the exact same place and just got my email this morning! :mrgreen: I'm not Canadian, but I did a forum search to see if anyone else was coming to Niimi for the first time this year. I hope we both love it!

Hmm... I wonder who is paying for the automated smear campaign against the fighter purchase and didn't bother checking where they were campaigning? Seems kinda odd to campaign in a forum for people who are actively TRYING to leave the country :P

Hi everyone!

Nice to meet you all, I'm from Vancouver, BC and I'm placed in a rural village in Kochi-ken, Shikoku.

Will any of you be attending the Japanese classes? :)

You'd might want to join us in the facebook group. I think a lot fewer of us are checking the forums as frequently now.
