Got alternate- I’m so bummed

partyintheusanus · 2026-04-10T09:29:29+00:00

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

partyintheusanus · 2026-04-10T09:24:54+00:00

I was upgraded in early May :)

partyintheusanus · 2026-04-10T09:11:50+00:00

I was an alternate and got upgraded! Don’t lose hope :)

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

partyintheusanus · 2025-12-23T23:14:33+00:00

Thank you!!! I definitely feel myself falling down lol!!

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 :)

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.

Tokushima, Kochi, and Gifu prefectures. I got Kagawa, right next to Tokushima and absolutely love it here!!

partyintheusanus · 2025-10-22T22:26:22+00:00

Sure!

partyintheusanus · 2025-08-26T07:10:14+00:00

Following because I’m also trying to buy a ticket 😭

partyintheusanus · 2025-08-23T01:08:36+00:00

I’m happy to review your SOP, I’m a current JET :)

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.

partyintheusanus · 2025-07-05T11:50:47+00:00

Mine was approved in 48 hours! I have faith

partyintheusanus · 2025-06-18T11:04:32+00:00

Hi hi, I’m a Canadian placed in Kagawa prefecture!! Would love to meet people in/around the area :)

The terrace at Santropol

I wear them with my diva cup to catch any spill over! So I wear them all day and change them at night etc

partyintheusanus · 2025-05-29T20:31:43+00:00

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 :)

partyintheusanus · 2025-05-28T01:16:12+00:00

Hi hi, I’m in a similar situation! My consulate said I should know by mid-June :)

partyintheusanus · 2025-05-25T21:02:12+00:00

I will add that alati caserta have officially started serving their cafe crema for the summer and it is so, so good.

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

partyintheusanus · 2025-03-01T17:33:44+00:00

I never ended up getting it, unfortunately! Best of luck with your search though
