| JET Tales: stories from rural Japan This website is a record of my experiences in the JET Programme as an AET (Assistant English Teacher) in two Japanese public high schools. There were high winds, high humidity, high tragedy, high prices, high mountains, and "ohayo gozaimasu" every morning. I had shrines and temples coming out of my ears, Kansai-ben coming out of my mouth, dust bunnies coming in mass migrations, and the intricacies of Japanese grammar coming along so slowly. This is a sample of my stories. I hope you enjoy them. ~ Kaui : Tanba/Sonobe, Japan : 2001-2003 |
