About two years ago, Emily and I decided that we wanted to apply to the JET program. We spent several months preparing our applications and getting our letters of recommendation together. Then we finally sent them in to the Japanese Embassy sometime around October-November 2004. After sending in our applications, I started this blog, so I don't need to recount what we've done since that point, since you can read about it in the archives.
It has been a wild ride...and it ended today.
A while back Emily turned in her resignation (broke her contract early) at Fukuoka High School. Today was her last day. A while back I told my anonymous little English school that I wouldn't be able to take the job. I never had a first day, so I didn't have a last day, either.
Our reasons for leaving Japan are both personal and professional.
We are moving to Saipan to seek our fortunes (and to get a great tan and eat loads of chicken kelaguin). Our train leaves Takaoka on Sunday at noon. We fly out of Nagoya on Monday night.
