They have little to no support systems. In fact, some of the private school teachers hung around us JETs and attended some JET events (those that were open to non-JETs) because we always had so many things going on. There was an event about 2/3 or 3/4 of the weekends in our ken, from hiking to kayaking to homestays, attending festivals to potluck dinner get-togethers to taking presents to an orphanage and playing with the kids at Christmas time. There were so many events that no one tried to attend every single one of them, but 15-20 people was typical, more for the bigger events (up to 35-40 or so sometimes)
