Posted by Orphic Okapi on 08.02.2012, 06:35 PM: I'm going to Japan! Hey guys, good news! I was recently accepted into the JET program and will be spending all of next year in Japan. At some point a trip to the Ghibli Museum will most certainly be in order.

Posted by foreignfilmfreak on 08.02.2012, 10:56 PM: Yep, it's a teaching program designed to give young people a new experience. But the biggest downfall (for me) is you can't specify an area. I understand it's because of where you'll be assigned rather than request, but for the program for Korea it's broken up into three, so you have more options on whether you want to live in the capital, outside of the main city, or in other cities/towns. I don't think the JET program is set up this way. :B

Posted by foreignfilmfreak on 08.03.2012, 10:41 PM: Oh! Orphic, I meant to say there are 3 categories for EPIK (EPIK, GEPIK, and one other, although in truth they may not be run the same). I'm going to read the rest of the post now. XD I just felt the need to point out what I meant (I don't even know if EPIK was the one I chose or if it was the one I can't remember the name of).
