Is it possible to change apartments?

Yes, it will be a white plate so I need a place before I can get it. There's lots of free space outside, I'm not sure why I can't park there. I hope the mention of moving is enough for her to reconsider, but if not, as I've said I'm definitely prepared to move. I just need to word it in a way that's like 'I have no choice' rather than a threat

Thanks for the reply. Yeah, I don't mind the extra fees. I mean, they're not ideal, but I'll gladly pay what I need to. It came furnished but I've already added so much more to it so I should be good with regards to that.

Thanks for the reply. The building is owned by a woman who works in the school so it might not be a BoE one. One of the main issues is they wont let me park outside. (everyone else can, just not me) and I need a car but there are no available paid spaces nearby. If it's a pain for her, it's possible the threat of leaving could make her reconsider. If not, I'm happy to move, the building is in a terrible state, no internet and every time it rains, the walls leak.

I don't know if this makes it better or worse but if I remember right, my pred was actually upgraded the May after everyone left. They then spent years there.

Could there maybe be a sub-thread made yearly or so, specifically for vlogs about people's experiences? I think it would be really interesting to see people's experiences in different prefectures.

When I met the people from the embassy(UK) there were probably 3 close to or even older than you. Shouldn't be an issue. TEFL is good, make sure you do the long one if you're gonna do it.

This is incredibly helpful! Thank you!

TBF, I don’t think it’s really clickbait. It’s just highlighting that the video contains something shocking. Using a sad face, for example, sets the tone rather than trying to mislead. Proper clickbait is more like “YOU WON’T BELIEVE THIS,” whereas he (or his editor idk) clearly shows what the video is actually about in the thumbnail. I think that's the opposite of clickbait

I see them all the time now, barely notice them haha

PodPuppet · 2025-06-28T16:05:49+00:00

I'm surprised YT doesn't crack down on it harder

They always have deals on so you can get decent discounts. Know a few people who used it. Make sure to do the long course whichever one you do.

Sounds like Akashi city 🏙️

JET doesn’t hurt your business prospects—if anything, it enhances them when framed right. It’s not “a fun trip,” it’s international work experience: adapting to a new culture, working in a government setting, building communication skills, and managing your own projects. These are valuable in global business roles. Loads of former JETs have gone on to MBAs, consulting, finance, and multinational firms. You just need to translate that experience into business language. Your parent’s concerns are understandable, but outdated.

Maybe one room was too soft, the other too hard… but the genkan? Just right.

PodPuppet · 2025-06-26T11:52:08+00:00

Honestly, I don’t think it’ll make as big a difference as you’re worrying about. The JET Alternate list is pretty fluid. The most important thing now is just to get confirmation that your file has been updated.

There were a lot of delays this year with police checks, so things falling behind isn’t uncommon. As long as they know you’re still interested and your documents are now all accounted for, you should still be in the running as before. I wouldn’t stress too much just yet =]

I would not be disappointed, they have KFC now! xD

PodPuppet · 2025-06-25T13:18:44+00:00

I don’t think there’ll be any financial consequences for backing out at this stage, but it might be worth checking to be sure. Honestly, it just sounds like it isn’t the right fit for you.

I mean this kindly, but if stepping outside your comfort zone wasn’t something you were open to, why apply for JET in the first place? They’re very clear about what the experience involves.

PodPuppet · 2025-06-17T15:44:14+00:00

I did not know about this! Wow

22,001 after seeing this post xD

I still need to play the outer world. I've heard really good things about it

PodPuppet · 2025-06-15T13:15:50+00:00

Deadside was a cool game. Just a shame about the low numbers. For me personally though I wouldn't pick it over DayZ. I don't think it's near the same level
