We have placement

Kitahiroshima (creative name, ain't it?). Sadly, I know almost nothing about it. It looks like it's only been a city since the big city consolidation a few years ago. It's a bit country-esque (1000 sq. km, but only 29K people), but it's only 20 or 30 miles from Hiroshima proper, so that's not so bad. The actual distance depends on where in Kitahiroshima we get put (1000 sq. km is a pretty large possible area).

Sadly, I can't find much transportation information in English.

You're teaching in Japan? With whom?

I could put you in touch with a couple friends who did it if you drop me your email.

My wife softlykarou is the one with a definite job at the moment. She's going with JET, and I'm going with her.

I'll find...something. I've got a couple leads already.

JET is said to be a pretty sweet deal.

Might want to think about what you can do from home, given that, well, if they send her to teach in the middle of nowhere...

If nothing else, I'll study Japanese for eight hours a day, get certified and try to find translation work. :-p

that'd be awesome.
