Hi Andi! Thank you, I'll take it as a compliment.
Don't be sorry for me, I'm happy with my job then and now too. Though, I would say at first I had difficulty but now  I love and enjoy  working as an ALT and guess it's all that matters right?


Anyways, thank you for dropping a line. Have a lovely week ahead.

Hello Everyone. I live in Tokyo and work for an Events Company. I have been here around 4 months now and really just looking for social interaction and to meet new people.

As you can guess, I am always interested in Tokyo Events. Anything within the Arts

Nice to meet you all.

Lindsay.

  welcome to Fukuoka

I am Aaron and I come from Nebraska (though i was raised in Jacksonville Florida). I am 23 years old and am about to go to Sapporo, Hokkaido, Japan to study Japanese and get a feel of what it means to be in Japan. I will be traveling there for about 3 months but if things go well (I don't want to commit to longer-term living in a place I cannot stand), I intend to return for 1-2 years for longer term study.

Anyway, that is the info from my profile....

I can't wait till I get to Japan.. However, I am rather nervous as well, since I don't know anybody out there. Hopefully, I can get to know people through this and meet people that can help me get through the little details of life in Sapporo.

Hello, I am Mitja, born in Moscow, raised in the US and Germany. Just closed another exciting start-up advantage and look for new endeavors.

Studied computer science and graphic design. For a while taught at university theory of branding. Founded an advertising agency and in 2013 moved to Moscow (after 25 years ...) to work on a fin-tech start-up.
After looking at the globe decided to go to Japan, the new silicon valley. Berlin was also tempting, but maybe as a next project.

Now I am looking for exciting new partners and crazy ideas. Let's get in touch!

Hello Everyone,

I'm L'Shawn. My passport country is the USA, and I am currently living in Nishinomiya, Hyogo near Osaka. I've been in Japan for almost ten years, and have only just begun to get to know the expat community.

I joined this forum so I could learn more about the expat community in Kansai, and to contribute to the community as well.

I have experience teaching in Japan. I currently work at a university here in Nishinomiya where I teach writing and intensive English, which includes all four language skills. I am happy to support anyone who has questions, or is just curious about teaching in Japan, as I also have had experience on the JET Program, and I have worked at a private language school as well.

If there is anyone who knows about events or places where I can go to meet more expats in Osaka, Kobe, or Kyoto, could you please let me know in a reply? I would really appreciate it.

Although I've been in Japan for some time, I'm new to the greater expat community and I'd like to change that. I hope you can help me, and I will do my best to be of service to you as well.

Best,
L'Shawn

Hello,

My name is Carl and I'm very much interested to know more about Japan, me and my friends are actually planning to travel to Japan by next year for some R and R and also know if I could migrate there for good given with a touch of personal experience.

Interestingly, my current job also needs me to hire for part-time online workers living in Japan so I am basically hitting two birds with one stone here.

Hi Julien and all members of the Japan forum!

My name is Mathilde, I am a French citizen currently living in France after 5 years in Thailand.
With my family (husband and 2 kids) we would love to come to Japan next year for a few months (3 to 4) and would like to stay in Kyoto where our Kids would go to the French school.
We are looking for a mid term rental but it's quite complicated to find websites that are in English and even to understand the whole system in Japan.

Thanks  :-)

Hi,
I am from India, visiting Tokyo by this month end. Looking for someone who can partner with me to open an import office there. If someone interested, please reply with their email. With regards. Vinod

My husband and I are traveling for 5 years, essentially spending one month at any location. We started with a 5 month planned trek with friends, but have just begun this phase of one-month stays. After a week here in Sapporo, we've done the easy tourist things and are looking to dive a bit deeper. I'm looking for some local (ex-pat) knowledge on what may be available in terms of volunteering.

Try the Meetup app. It’s a good start to networking with the right people around specific events/subject matters.
