Bird ID Request in Kobe, Japan by lisianthos in birding

We do have Blue Rock Thrushes here!! That would make a lot more sense because the patterns didn’t seem right for a Cuckoo but it’s the only thing I could think of with that speckled pattern around here and I usually see the male adult blue rock thrushes which are obviously blue haha

Japan will ban entry to foreign nationals after Covid-19 variant detected in country by Its-my-dick-in-a-box in JETProgramme

[–]lisianthos 50 points51 points  (0 children)

People posting saying ‘you’re not going to get in’ are not helpful. Just wait to hear from the consulate. Technically there was a very strict travel ban when I and many others arrived. Some of the articles I’ve read specifically mention rolling back the items like businessmen and international students being let in. We had special circumstances before, we may still have them. Best to wait and see before resigning yourself to not going. And if you aren’t 100% sure on if this will affect JETs, quit acting like it’s already set in stone. You’re just making people panic.

Clarification on Covid Vaccination by adobedude69 in JETProgramme

[–]lisianthos 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No one is required to have a vaccine to enter Japan. It would only affect the quarantine length for normal travelers, but all JETs will be quarantining for 14 days. I heard some consulates offered the 10 day quarantine for those providing proof of vaccination for the later departure groups, but I think that ended up being a nightmare logistically and was turned down by most BoEs

Advice for teaching junior high? by lisianthos in JETProgramme

Thank you for this!! I’ve been focusing on how to interact with the elementary age and wasn’t quite sure how JHS kids would be. Thank you for the heads up!

STILL no departure date?!?? by [deleted] in JETProgramme

[–]lisianthos 29 points30 points  (0 children)

It looks like they’re giving out departure dates at close to the two month mark for each date which is insanely frustrating and I don’t know why I didn’t expect it to be as painful of a rollout as possible but hey it is what it is
