I just moved to Fukuoka from Pittsburgh, I've been here 5 days so far. I live in Kashii, a nice community in Fukuoka. I'm really excited about the upcoming year, and I'm glad I found this forum today. I'm going to be teaching for NOVA, so hopefully we can share some info on all that goes on here.
From the hills of ole Shinano (that's Nagano, now) where we're just on the edge of color changes, I'd like to give you a big WELCOME to Japan, and to Jref !! It's nice to have you here, and I hope you'll stick around and make it a place to spend some time chatting and stuff. Please check out the whole forum, and post when you can.
I have been teaching for a good while now in Japan--EFL--and have pretty much enjoyed it the whole time. Let us know how things go for you, and when you need information or have questions, you can always search for things in the files here, or ask.
