Hey guys! thank you SO much for the responses! I really appreciate!
Hi akakage,
think my husband will be glad to take the option of teaching english in Japan since he'd also like to learn something new at the same time, like engineering or finance! I know it's tough, but he's such a tough learner too.
I myself, don't really have a degree. :P I did work in companies like Sheraton hotels, Bosch for a few years though. Why I want to move to Japan? simply because I have so much curisoity about your country, people and the culture, etc. Just feel Japanese are quite different, smart, creative, maybe because you guys eat lots of fish?
(sorry don't exactly know if you are japanese)
about the schools, i got the ideas with reading some other threads here. thanks! they definitely cost a lot less than the international schools in china, china's going crazy. i tell you!
the housing, i had a look at the website you suggested. hm, expensive! not too bad
i will do some more research too. we plan to live not more than 3 years as we want to get our daughter back to america for schools. so according to you guys, renting is the way to go.
ah, we don't speak Japanese at all. i did learn like a week something during my pregnancy. it was fun to learn, i know a little basics and some words. i am always mistaken as japanese & koreans though
i will certainly continue.
side note answer: i am chinese, born in china, grew up in china.
i am so flattered & nervous when you say my english is great that i saw so many people on the website including yourself speaking perfect english! i can't tell who's westerner, who's japanese.
take care!
