Gaijin-in-JapanBlogging direct from Kobe, Japan
Gaijin isn't a bad word. There just isn't any
other word to describe us. And besides, I'm different and I like it that way. Why else would I decide to leave San Francisco and live here forever? So that I can eat good food? Maybe. |

It’s not like applying for a job at the local eikaiwa, that’s for sure. I’m in the process of finishing a Masters (this month), getting 3-5 publications in order, two presentations (JALT and ETJ should work), a manual, an article, and a syllabus to teach a 20 minute lesson plus a few recommendation letters. It’s not easy. Do I even want to be a full-time professor? Do I want to deal with bureaucracy and miscommunication, long hours and meaningless meetings? Well, if I want to get a stable job that pays more and gives me enough time to spend with my family then this is really the only choice. Plus, I love the possibility of being able to research education and technology. It’s been a busy year. There are still a few more months to go. Pardon my lack of posting, I’m still around.
