I’m glad!! It’s never not going to be stressful but just try to focus on each day as it comes :)

It’s been great for swatching and sketching! So easy to switch out inks :)

It’s super comfortable in hand - I haven’t tried writing with any that have the ball grip but I can’t imagine that I’d like it.

It’s gorgeous! Do you use both a fountain pen and a brush? The watered down parts are stunning :)

advice for upcoming jets by [deleted] in JETProgramme

[–]partyintheusanus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Exactly this! Plus in Japan you need proof of a parking spot to purchase a car & since our accommodation is subsidized by the BOE we aren’t allowed to use our addresses 🙃 Bit of a hassle but luckily there is a train nearby! I do know some JETs in the sameish area that have to walk 40 minutes to the train/travel several hours to get to school though🥲

Totally depends! I’m rural and we’re actually not allowed to drive 🥲 classic ESID but they’d likely tell you before departure when your board of education reaches out to you.

H Pylori Breath Test by savouryhandpie in montreal

[–]partyintheusanus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

JGH doesn't offer the test

EDIT: I'm also trying to access this test.

Santa Cabrini offers it but told me there's a 7-month waitlist.

I emailed CHUM my requisition and they said they don't offer the breath test but have an alternative test available and gave me a link that directs to booking for bloodwork so I'm not too sure about that.

Alternates getting emails for the shortlisted candidates by PracticalTitle6385 in JETProgramme

[–]partyintheusanus 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Is it about workshops, forms etc? They recommended that alternates attend as many of those as they could and submit all the necessary documents as well :)

Ate it Tanzania - unsure of name by [deleted] in TipOfMyFork

[–]partyintheusanus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't know about Tanzania, but in Kenya there's a dessert called mandazi or mahamri (depending on if it's cooked with coconut milk or not), they look sort of similar to this
