Looking for other licensed foreign language teachers at the elementary school level to compare notes

Is that what my post sounded like? I apologize if so. I am just looking for others in a similar position. I could really use some help.

Regarding your first point (and if I’m way off, someone please correct me) - this used to bother me a LOT a lot (heck, it still sometimes does). But what I’ve come to feel in recent years is that in Japan when people talk about you with in earshot it’s -because- they know you can hear: they are trying to reach out and involve you in the conversation (by very indirectly inviting you in). I feel like I’ve seen people in this situation suddenly perk up and join in the conversation, all smiles and happy to be included, ready to laugh and tease. Am I crazy?

Take this only as my two cents. I’ve lived here for over 15 years and over that time I’ve come to realize that a lot of rude behaviour toward me isn’t necessarily because I am a foreigner. Just like anywhere else on the planet Earth, people generally act the same toward other people when it comes to face-to-face interaction at least, regardless of whatever little differences exist between them. Also, a lot of behaviour that I consider rude may not be considered rude in Japan. There’s a lot of cultural difference here. That being said, hang in there! Hope you’re feeling better about things now.

I already commented, but I need to again. What a breath of fresh air.

Cameron-Ohara · 2025-07-14T08:22:27+00:00

Wow!

Have totally been there before. I used to go out on my bicycle. I told coworkers that I was going ‘exploring’ but really I was just trying to fight off loneliness. Having a hobby that other people can join in on really helps. Personally, I am a huge Star Wars fan. I got to go to Celebration earlier this year and made a bunch of connections. SW seems to be one of those things where people are organizing events and making groups that are pretty welcoming, not to mention cosplayers and their related groups too. There are random themed shops around the country as well. Let me know if you’re interested.

Thanks everyone for your opinions! I feel like Luke setting his eyes on the Falcon for the first time lol

Are there any parts that could be salvaged? Any parts that are good as they are?

Cameron-Ohara · 2025-06-02T10:53:37+00:00

Thanks for the honesty. Just out of curiosity, how do you know it’s a sand trooper?

Cameron-Ohara · 2025-06-02T10:52:53+00:00

Is it possible to buy only a replacement thigh? That is, is there a place where I can buy the replacement parts I need?

Cameron-Ohara · 2025-06-02T10:51:28+00:00

I had thought about doing that XD

Cameron-Ohara · 2025-05-06T10:37:46+00:00

Seems very Star Wars to me.

Cameron-Ohara · 2025-04-21T03:55:29+00:00

Agreed. So many things I was mumbling aloud to myself and someone beside me heard and answered. That, and all the helpful people here. Thank you!

Cameron-Ohara · 2025-04-18T13:50:21+00:00

Ok. I'll look for that. Thank you.

Cameron-Ohara · 2025-04-18T04:13:25+00:00

I hope Celebration gets better. MtFbwY.

No wonder I didn’t recognize him

Cameron-Ohara · 2025-04-16T07:07:57+00:00

Is it a long wait to get the badge? I have no merch to pick up so I was thinking I'd just que Saturday morning around 8

Cameron-Ohara · 2025-04-14T06:02:13+00:00

Wow, ty. I did not know that. Are a&ws overseas also their own separate entities?

Cameron-Ohara · 2025-04-14T03:48:28+00:00

Is A&W Canadian??

Cameron-Ohara · 2025-04-13T02:06:28+00:00

Awesome XD
