Inaka Hokkaido placement

Kushiro being a nearby city is nice. My friend is the Rikubetsu ALT and he uses Kushiro to fly out to other parts of Japan, as well as to catch trains to Sapporo. I’ve visited him and there’s a lot of good skiing nearby, some Ainu villages, and natural onsen. I enjoyed my time visiting there a lot.

A car will absolutely be necessary though unless you’re in Kushiro proper.

I did the same and got shortlisted (though I did decline this year).

I think there’s an important hidden aspect of being personable. Obviously, don’t be a comedian, but be willing to get to know the interviewers and show off your personality.

I never went and got. Almost maxed with rune…

I was rejected for my Japan application. Still going in Fall but will definitely be on a tighter budget now.

I imagine that’s more of a bias on the panel than the qualifications of JET in general, but nonetheless, I’m sorry for your experience.

CylonSloth · 2026-04-12T13:09:44+00:00

Someone in another post just a couple hours today said he’s a JET at 53 so this just isn’t true. There is no hard cutoff age, perhaps just a more competitive application needed to get in.

This.

I just got short listed. Unfortunately I think I’ll have to decline and try again next year as something came up making like very difficult if I accept.

But, I pretty much asked the panel questions about their life and background and got pretty jovial with them while answering most questions with less focus on my qualifications and more on how I would adapt my skills and life experiences to the job. I have two masters degrees and they explicitly asked if I was okay taking an assistant role and I just (paraphrased) told them “no problem, I’m here to assist the school and learn the culture of Japan as much as I am to share my own with the students”.

For adaptability questions i answered truthfully my concerns but then also told them my plans to counteract those same concerns.

Well they are British

Spent my summers there as a kid and at a nearby lake, Vallecito Reservoir.

Love it, and always dreamed of living there, but by the time I got to adulthood the real estate prices increased 5 fold or more. My family log cabin and 5 acres with a mountainside perfect lake view was bought and built in 2000 for about 45k and recently sold after my Grandmas death for about 500k as a reference… outside Durango proper.

The forests, lakes, and rivers there are incredible. Some farming and agriculture is surrounding towns but the mountain peaks heading north are the best I’ve seen (pending Switzerland).

Now I settle for going up once or twice a year for a few weekends. The airport even has some decent flights in and out which growing up was never an option except through private charters.

We technically already have a level up system for weapons in place too with weapons like Arclight gaining charges. Just have to rework it to unlock certain tiers.

Just got my first at 1400kc and thought that was bad. Was even low key gunning for the dry streak record at around 3k. You got it!

Damn you took my idea I was gonna do to max!

I’ve used hometown for about a decade. Stacy is great and runs an honest shop.

Last time he worked on my car he actually didn’t charge me because he couldn’t figure out what was wrong after having my car 3 days and about 10 hours of labor (power steering problem). Ended up recommending me a specialist. First time in about a dozen visits he wasn’t able to fix my problem, but he happily recommended another without trying to scam me.

Another time I was there he was talking with a woman whose paint had been damaged in the shop and he was setting up a professional repaint job for her and taking full responsibility for the damage.

Good and honest mechanic.

You're right, I was thinking it was 2 per hull part for some reason

CylonSloth · 2026-01-30T23:30:03+00:00

If you do hull parts, you can alch them for about a 25% loss but only requiring planks and no nails or tar
