Hey All!
So, I chatted with the JET currently on the island. I don't know if I said this in the last post, but I'll be teaching at six different schools across the city: 1 Kindergarten, 2 Elementary schools, and 2 middle schools. She said that most of the kids enjoy English classes, but they don't feel like they'll need it in their lives. Not sure how I can change their opinion of that, but I'll just have to make classes fun.
She also sent me the address to the apartment:
4-2-1, 393-1 Wadomari
Wadomari-cho, Oshima-gun
Kagoshima-Ken, 891-9112
Japan
I know, lots of numbers. Basically "cho" = City, "gun" = county, and "Ken"=state. It's the best translation into our terms of identifying addresses that I can figure out.
Love,
Steph
I bet you will make learning English very fun.

Steph, I can't wait to hear all about the Japanese school life and compare it to my own kids' school experience and keeping my own kids' in the loop as to the differences and likenesses between the two. Love ya
