Return Of The Mack

[The Prestige]

Alright lads and ladettes :drevil:

Yeah, i'm back after a bit of a sabbatical what with coursework and deadlines and the like. I'm happy to report that it's all finished, completed, over, done with FOREVER. I'm off to Japan to teach English for 1 year and my gorgeous girlfriend has decided to come with me. So yeah, i'm gonna be posting from Japan from now on.

:cool:

Ah, very cool. Congrats! :)

I've got a friend pondering the same sort of deal, though she might be staying in Japan to teach English indefinitely. Odd coincidence, no?

[Sedai]

Welcome back!

Cheers mate! Should be an interesting experience, Japan is supposedly EXTREMELY different from Britain. I also wanted to decide between Japan or touring around Africa, but I felt I needed to make some money so Japan it was.

Yeah, bit of a coincidence that. Do you know where abouts in Japan she wants to stay?

[The Prestige]

Welcome back!

Cheers man. xxx;D

Glad you're back.... My friends mother is from Okinawa and from what she has told me, it is very different from here.... enjoy... :)

Lucky, i was quite tempted to teach English abroad (get loan paid off etc), tried learning Japanese in my first term but man is it a hard language with stupidly fast moving lessons.

Bugger. I thought this thread was a tribute to Leicester's favourite petty criminal soul singer but, hey! :D

The ex Mrs Tat did a TEFL course after her degree which meant we could bum around Europe for a few months. Mucho fun but I don't think she taught for more than a few days (but that's another story).

You'll like Japan....hopefully. My mate did a year's work placement there and on his first night threw up (after too much drink, natch) in the lap of a senior Sony exec - he'd been hired by Sony. One tip: take up golf. ;)

Oh, and welcome back! :)
