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
