what he said. ^_^ except i picked Tochigi and got put in Okinawa. but appaaaarently (I've heard, through the grapevine suchlike) that it's a huuuuuge privilege to be put in Okinawa, so i wouldn't count on your chances of being put there if you applied. try googling for jet programme- there's a LOT of info. heh. our connecting flight is to hong kong. he can meet me at the airport while we sit & wait for the next flight. and babelfish is *highly* unreliable.
Yeah, right! Really they don't like you and they heard that you're allergic to seafood! It's worse than useless for Japanese. Funny tho. the number of essays I've had to mark that a student just put thru babelfish...!
heh. well you'd know more than me, but i heard you're far more likely to find a bigger variety of foods in okinawa than in rural tochigi. argh. first student of mine that puts an essay through babelfish gets to meet the pointy end of the lion i'm packing in my suitcase.
