Hello everyone,
My name is Sam. I live in the US, specifically Florida. I've been fascinated by Japan for as long as i can remember, so I decided to go ahead and try to get a job there. I was offered a job in Osaka with one of the dreaded Eikaiwa starting this fall. I discovered this place while researching what to expect. This forum is GREAT! It's one of the few really usefull japan forums I've found.
I've found quite a few answers here and am more excited than ever to get to Osaka.
Good morning from Nagano Japan, at the foothills of the Japan Alps !! Nice to have you with us on the forum; hope you can learn and share a lot with this world wide family. I hope all goes well as you get ready to come over here. See you 'round !!
Reading old posts and using "search" should find you answers to everything you need to know for your trip. It would be nice if you could keep us posted about what happens to you and what you think about your Japan experiences. Glad you found JREF, post often and enjoy!
