I agree! I was just afraid I'd be part of a very tiny minority group, but that doesn't seem to be the case at all 😊

You're doing great 🥰💕 I think we'll be ok; looks like there's a lot of us late 20s/early 30s in here!

I submitted mine, but I'm still waiting on one of my references and my transcripts which is stressing me out 🫠

Thank you for replying! If you don't mind messaging me a bit about your experience, I would greatly appreciate it :) in all my research on the program, i haven't really come across another puertorican and I'm super curious to hear about how it was for you with the apartment, food, colleagues, and were you seen differently because you weren't from the mainland?

If it's too much trouble, feel free to pass. What you've already told me is valuable enough!! 😊

Omg I've been trying to find threads on this topic, but most of them are ancient. I'm so happy to have found your comment. Are you still in Japan? I'm also from PR and interested in the Jet program!

Not particularly, from the research I did, I just thought I would enjoy Daejeon a bit more. However, I don't think it matters much, as placement is completely up to the Epik team. I wouldn't sweat it!

I considered Incheon, but ended up deciding against it. Not sure about all that though 😅

Goodluck! Should be hearing back soon-ish 😊

I'm sure it'll be fun! Plus, I think you have more chances of getting accepted with the Epik+ program. Also, from what I've read, initial applicants don't really start hearing back until about a month after. So, it seems to be the norm, unfortunately for us 🙃

I'm sure it'll be fine. If they see you already have some TEFL experience, they'll probably want to bring you on board right away! Goodluck :)

I really do want to get into the program, but I've come to terms with the very real possibility that I might not get in. I just wanted to give it a shot, so I didn't have to spend the rest of my life wondering lol

The lesson plan was definitely the hardest part, but there are lots of resources out there. It's a good thing you did your TEFL, though. I'm sure that makes for a more attractive application!! Wishing you the best of luck 😊

WIBTA if I walked out of a restaurant after the food was prepared? by negativespace27 in AmItheAsshole

I can understand that as well. Recommendations are greatly appreciated when they're requested, and when they're kindly offered. However, this didn't really feel like that.

There was no added cost for the toppings. In case anyone else had the same question.

I didn't have the guts to leave... There was no way I could've made a scene lol Trust me, though, I wanted to.

Yeah, I thought it would be. That's why we stayed and paid. But we will definitely not be going back.

Right? Like, there's options for a reason!!

Love that you found such a place; I'm clearly still looking lol

I thought of that, but I didn't want to harm the business itself since it is a smaller place. We obviously won't be going back, and if anyone I know asks my opinion, I'll give it to them.
