Would you turn down a rural placement then? It sounds like they do make up a pretty big percentage of JET placements. I'm just hoping wherever it is has internet access, but it seems even rural Japan is pretty well connected.

Eep, I just looked at how many people from the consulate I'll be applying from got through this year - seven, including one CIR. Of course Canberra is a pretty small city itself, but still ._. I guess at least that means the consulate won't have too many applications to lose mine in.
