So - it's been a while since i've posted, but so much has changed in the past year. After an amazing trip to Japan for 2 weeks last summer, I fell in love with the country and knew that living in Japan was for me.
As soon as I got back home, I enrolled at a part time Japanese language course and started a TEFL course to become 'qualified' to teach English.
I just received an offer for a job, teaching English at an eikaiwa which i'm thrilled about and just wanted to know if anyone had any advice as a new resident in Japan?
It'd be great to hear from anyone who knows of Kurokawa as I can't seem to find anything on the Internet about the area so the only concerns I've got right now is the location. I've got some friends in central Nagoya so it's great to have them nearby but the adventure for me is to make lots of great new friends and live life a bit!
Thanks in advance for any help and advice that you might be able to give this nervous, scared and excited new explorer!

OMG What a small world! Kurokawa is where I went to junior high school .
I was raised in that area even though I've been stranded in Tokyo for so long.
I like Kurokawa because it's the center of the area (Kita ward of Nagoya) and it has everything you need such as restaurants, cafes, shops, beauty parlors, etc. Kurokawa's best feature is its accessibility. You can hop on the subway at Kurokawa and go to central Nagoya in just 10 minutes. Kurokawa also has a big bus terminal where you can catch the buses to go where the subway doesn't take you.
This is making me homesick!
