I have several questions:
1) I am not in Japan right now. Is there an agency that specialises in ALT jobsthe Kansai Region? Can they give me an interview in the U.K. or over the phone?
2) I taught in Japan for over a year in kanto region.. Shane's accommodation was so expensive I quit, went home and saved plenty money. GOOD.

3) I miss Japan. One agency promised to subsidise my rent, and so on. in the kanto region. I could afford it if I stayed in a gaijin house.Some OF THEIR locations are very close to Tokyo.
GOOD. But they spoke of rural locations too. BAD. I just don't do small towns. It won't work. So I'll tell them nicely. They'll give me a telephone interview.

4) One thing I miss about Tokyo and Japanese cities is all the sports facilities. I could always go swimming or play volleyball or football.

Kansai Time Out (paper edition or online) has ads for teachers. Some are from ALT dispatch agencies.
