I got a job. Mid-September. Small Eikaiwa. Visa sponsorship. Pretty good deal.

So, who is going to toast me to some sake? Very Happy

Oh well.......yet another weirdo on their way to Japan.

Hopefully you'll be placed in a rural spot far away from all.

Congratulations nonsmoker! You may post some really stupid things sometimes (but then who hasn't posted something stupid before?), but you certainly make the forum interesting. And personally I think it's nice to see someone that excited about Japan. I know I'm excited about going to Japan too. So I'm happy for you.
One question though. How on earth did you post over 190 times since joining on April 20th? By my calculations that's about 5 posts a day! Mind boggling.

Hi n/s, good for you.. I hope it all works out and that you have lots of good times in Japan. So I guess from then on you will be so busy working and seeing and doing, that you probably wont have time to post ... but its ok, we have lots to remember you by !! Very Happy

All the best,

No way. I will always make time for Dave's. I don't want to miss even one of Canuck's Rolling Eyess.

I hope not because then I'll be really pi**ed and broke.

Probably around the Wakayama area. Anybody know any spots?

No, because you and I will be splitting a 60,000 Yen tab.

It's more along the lines of not BEING fu*ked over judging by some of the stories on this forum...
