JET Program: Daily Life as an ALT

Three months ago I was still going to lectures, cramming essays, and making sure I could graduate; three months later I am standing on the other side of the classroom and formally an English teacher in Japanese elementary + junior high schools and.... WHAAAAAAA?

BUT the JET programme (Japan Exchange and Teaching) life is more than just teaching! It's also about taking off your shoes at school, eating the same food as your students, cleaning the school after lunch, and adapting to the Japanese lifestyle in your downtime.

You'll have 99 problems settling down in Japan, but the joy of seeing your students smile at you ain't one.

PS. For aspiring JETs who are of Asian descent, please check out my video on how it feels to be an Asian foreigner in Japan! Hope it helps you understand what people expect of you and what kind of difficulties you will be going through when you settle in Japan. :)
