This event is always a lot of fun and is a high point for Japan lovers. Well, it has already been over a month now but we saw off another group of excited and eager JETs at the end of July. Five years have passed since I was in their shoes. But it was great to come full circle and be able to aid them as they got ready to take off for a year of amazing experiences and discoveries. I consider myself very fortunate to have these opportunities to share with new JETs as well as reminisce with former ones.
