I haven’t posted about this at all in fear of jinxing, but I passed my interview for JET and will be moving to Japan beginning of August! I don’t know where I’ll be placed yet, but I’m so excited! & you can expect a revival in this blog for those who still follow~  いつもよろしくお願いしますね〜

Yesterday, I went to Parco degli Acqeudotti in the south of Rome and it so happens to be near Roma Ciampino Airport. I saw the exact Ryan Air flight that I was on four weeks ago come into land. It was a weird feeling.

Hi there! I'm interested in studying abroad in japan and was trying to figure out how to go about it. I was wondering if you went thru a specific program and were you doing a semester, summer or year? Any advice or suggestions? Thanks and sorry for the 20 questions xD

Questions are always welcome! My study abroad was set up through my uni, in the UK all language students have to go abroad so we have a good system set in place. I know some students have come self financed, but I have no idea how that works... Depending on your situation I would talk to your schools study abroad advisor or contact unis themselves? I did a year and would definitely recommend staying as long as possible as my friends who did half a year all felt as if they'd only just settled into the swing of things before having to go back. And obviously the more time you're here the more your language skills will improve :)
