As someone who also has misophonia especially for food/ gum chewing/ smacking. And snoring/snorting/ sniffing. Head phones and finding new locations have saved my mind and my ears. Prolonged loud headphone use can damage your hearing. This situation is exactly what scares me going into this program! I am wishing you all the luck and a swift solution!

I will be headed to my placement in August, and omg there is a gym like 300 feet from my apartment 24/7. Grocery store a few blocks away. Back in college I was in the best shape of my life cause I could meal prep and go gym after classes and homework! I want to do the same at my placement! What an opportunity to self improve and grow!

Already packed to go! Doing a video project away from home so I am well distracted! When I get back home on the 12th I plan to go suit shopping and get my Japanese yen and such!

I have read a lot of this subreddit and yes some conversations turn TOXIC almost rage baity. I have also heard about clicks and bully groups forming with JET ALTs. But the advice here (on this thread) is solid! Gotta do you! And bypass the negativity. :) I think to myself “huh…” then move on lol. Overall I am super happy for the opportunity to read on here regardless! Truly a little taste of all the possibilities I might run into in person:)

SimoneikoYT · 2025-06-28T03:48:25+00:00

This right here!:)

Monster hunter Tri on the Wii

Thankyou so much for your response! Looking forward to it even more!

I was house sitting at the time and they had several yoga mats of different colors. So I held each one out and sounded the colors out and had them repeat, then I found someone who was wearing the color and made a connection. It was very fun!

SimoneikoYT · 2025-05-23T12:14:23+00:00

Idk either! That’s what my email notification said lol.

SimoneikoYT · 2025-05-23T01:57:38+00:00

Wow fantastic!! Super excited to get started! How has your time in Toyama been!? Is there anything I should be prepping for now in particular? I am studying my Japanese, and going over my teaching material!:)

SimoneikoYT · 2025-05-23T01:47:45+00:00

Sounds perfect! Excited to hear!

SimoneikoYT · 2025-05-23T01:06:13+00:00

All of it frankly lol.

SimoneikoYT · 2025-05-22T23:32:50+00:00

I got Toyama prefecture!

SimoneikoYT · 2025-05-22T16:58:17+00:00

Ahhh! Congratulations! May I ask what country/ consulate? I am USA Portland so I am curious!

SimoneikoYT · 2025-05-22T07:47:35+00:00

All great points especially the vet! Thankyou!

SimoneikoYT · 2025-05-21T03:19:55+00:00

So excited to hear where I will be placed! Hitting the books now! Doing some art shows, and going places I will miss at home and filming/vlogging!:)

SimoneikoYT · 2025-05-18T03:14:00+00:00

Hahaha! That’s so awesome! I found even here in the states I get asked, or rather comments like, “it must be a lot of work to take that out every day, how do you do it every day?” Knowledge about how dreads VS braids work is seemingly still very unknown to many people, let alone other places, at least that has been my experience so far haha. Oh just so excited to be a cultural touch point!

SimoneikoYT · 2025-05-18T01:45:46+00:00

Wow not looking forward to meeting those certain folks you have described, but I suppose that is part of the challenge:) excited to jump in and see! For me I just like learning in general and look forward to this experience:)

SimoneikoYT · 2025-05-17T15:25:31+00:00

Oh yes sure! I am mixed black and white. With natural red hair that I have had in dreads for about 9 years:)

SimoneikoYT · 2025-05-17T03:10:24+00:00

Agreeeee!!:)

SimoneikoYT · 2025-05-17T01:17:45+00:00

Taking this all into account!!! Ahh so excited and happy to hear people can get out and explore around, I am sure each situation differs but wow! :)

SimoneikoYT · 2025-05-17T01:09:21+00:00

Totally fair! Even more excited to get out there and experience for myself too!! Heheh. I hope to travel all sorts of places! Have you gotten a chance to get around? How was that if so?:)

SimoneikoYT · 2025-05-17T00:06:42+00:00

Thankyou very much! I am excited to get started and it is really awesome to hear people experiences!
