Oh my goodness! I lived in an exact replica of this apartment in Hyogo! like- straight up- the EXACT SAME! watching this video is like stepping into an alternate reality!
Wow, $200 for such a big apartment!!! I really love the way you've made it your own, and definitely some great tips there for staying warm in winter :D I've just arrived in Japan on the JET programme too, sadly my apartment is half the size and more than double the rent, but it's super cute! What did you do since leaving JET?
Congrats and I hope you are having fun in your “new home”! I miss everything about my years stay in Gunma. Where are you based right now? Usually when you are placed in inaka, there’s a higher chance of you getting a bigger apartment at a more affordable rate. when i was there, going to the city takes me 25min of driving. 😅 After JET, I opened my own take out Japanese restaurant. :)
@@mat6729 sounds like you had an amazing time! I'm in a smaller city between Kyoto and Nara, it seems to be a popular commuter area though so rent is kinda pricey round her and our BoE doesn't subsidise it. It is very convenient here though and a really lovely city so I'm not going to complain! Ooh wow that's incredible! I think after JET I'll look for an international school job or teach in another country perhaps (I was a teacher back in the UK so that's always going to be my focus!) :)
Cute and efficient apartment! I was wondering how common are second-hand and thrift stores in Japan? With students and people coming for long-term stays, it would be so helpful. Thanks for the video.
Super common! In fact there are malls that sell only second and stuff.. from clothes to furnitures. And theyre usually clean. I got a lot of thing from the second hand stores :)
People ask "how can Japan be so cheap to live there" the answer is very simple, same reason Japanese people don't charge ruinous interest rates. The answer should be right on the tip of your tongue.
My apartment in America Cost 4k are u kidding me that’s like 1/20 of my rent u gotta be kidding me like that’s is so cheap I can’t wait to move to Japan and I have a lot of savings the U.S. I’d a scam the only thing I will miss my huge tub and refrigerator and kitchen and living and basically everything Japan apartments are so tiny they literally be the size of my living room and kitchen combined but it’s worth the money.
@@Na2Ocean mine cost 4k🥲 I live in North Carolina and I live in a city loft so I kinda choose to live in an expensive apt the marmalade cost is like 2k here for a nice sized apartment and if your like elderly they cost like 700
Yung honest answer po, how was it living alone in a very quiet and isolated place? Have you had weird experiences? I'll be applying for JET 202, and stigmatized and haunted apartment kinda hinders me 😅
I felt safe because my neighbours were also ALTs like myself and also because the apartment where I lived was owned or somewhat partly owned by the Board of Education. It can be very quiet but I liked it. :) good luck and I hope you get in ❤️
Hey I’m a professional international school teacher and would love to know if you know of any JET teachers employed between the ages of 48 - 56 years? I’d like to take a year or so away from international schools and figured JET would be both fun, rewarding and educational)
HEllo :) even before applying, I only intended to stay for a year. I love Japan so much that I want to experience the culture and the way of life. after a year, time to go home and do more adulting stuff :)
I only stayed in Japan for a year, but when the news abt Corona-san broke, classes were cancelled from March to May. we (JETs) had to stay in our apartment from 8:30 to 4:15. It was not that scary because people there are so obedient. no anti-mask or anything like that.

Winters in Japan are cold. A kotatsu is a life saver.

BOE. Board of Education. The employer for ALTs on the JET Programme.

Why did you only stay for a year?

As far as I know, JET has no age limit. :) IT's very rewarding
As far as I know, 40 years old was the age limit before. Now, there's no age limit.

How VILE of the nasty neighbour to complain. They should have spoken to you directly instead of trying to get you fired.
What prefecture are you based po?
Gunma po. :)
🇯🇵
Which city do you live in
?
Country side of Gunma :)
@@mat6729 thanks it is pretty city
Location
Please call a priest there is a demon in your apartment. She wears black dress
Lmao what? 💀
🤣
No, the demon was the person who called her principal to complain about noise and not talking to her politely first.
