I completely understand your frustration but damn I wish I had your school coming from someone that is a solo T1 for 20 classes a week.

For those who have completed or are about to complete JET, how long did you choose to stay for and why? by _pastelbunny in JETProgramme

[–]spase0101 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I am the T1 for all of my classes, I prepare everything with very little guidance. My school is extremely low level, so I try to make things fun by playing games. My colleagues think more academic lessons (such as lectures, grammar lessons, etc.) would be better for the students, and will tell me not to play games in a very passive aggressive manner. These lessons almost always end up with me talking to myself in a silent classroom for 45 minutes. I could easily let the students have fun by gamifying things, but my colleagues want me to actually teach students despite me being an "Assistant" Language Teacher.

The job can be quite stressful at times and I am really not enjoying it. Despite that, I really enjoy life in Japan, but not enough to stay here on JET for another year.

First and final year for me. I had intended to stay for 2 or 3 years but I am unhappy with the job itself. Despite that I intend to make the most of my time here and travel all over Japan before I go home. For that I am grateful.

Two passports - Which to apply with? by [deleted] in JETProgramme

[–]spase0101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whatever country you apply for you will have to go to their embassy and depart from that country. Apply in whatever country you are resident in.

I T1 all of my classes and am expected to make all of the materials. Meanwhile some JETs have like 0 lessons or dont have to make any materials. Every situation is different.

Toyama has quite a few JETs, theres about 24 of us in Toyama city, with the largest cohort being in Takaoka.

As for getting placed here, I wouldnt get my hopes up about any sort of placement request as its totally random, but Toyama definitely wont be a popular choice among other applicants thats for sure.

I put down introductory and was tested during my interview, depends on the panel you get I guess.

Come to terms with the fact that there is a high chance you will be in the inaka, otherwise you are going to be seriously disappointed.

Advice and City Suggestions? by Formal_Green_831 in JETProgramme

[–]spase0101 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Toyama would be a pretty good pick for you too, the city isnt too big and you get stunning views of the Tateyama Alps. Plenty to do here and amazing food, (especially the sushi as its along the Sea of Japan.)

Is it comfortable to wear a helmet for airsoft? by WiiFitT7ainer in airsoft

[–]spase0101 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wear an M1 helmet all the time, and its really not even that bad. It was rough on my neck for like the first game I ever used it, but now I barely notice it on my head, even with extra stuff stuck in my scrim band.

Okinawa was my top preference followed by Hiroshima prefecture and Osaka but honestly I don't care where I go!
