Hi Everybody!
I am off to the States tomorrow to recruit new teachers. Are you interested? Here is the lowdown:
Salary: 280,000 yen a month (approx $30,000 a year)
approx. 50 days of vacation a year
approx. 25 actual teaching hours a week
approx. 30 hour work week
Company pays airfare to and (if contract is completed) from Japan.
Company secures an apt (rent deducted from monthly paycheck) and furnishes it with a TV, VCR, Microwave, Washer, Vacuum, bed, bedding, towels, plates, loans you a bike, etc.
Students are mostly kinder and elementary students. Max per class is 8 for kinder to 2nd grade of elementary and 10 for 3rd grade and above.
We are recruiting in the South this year.
It's a short trip, so I'm squeezing in as many visits to friends and family as I can. I even plan to go to Ohio and see my bro and his family and a couple of other friends.
I'm not so keen on getting "foods I have missed", because I've really been liking the food I'm eating here. I love having lunch at the Ra-Ra Cafe, which is in the building where I teach.
Lots of preparation to do as I am helping Min with his next concert production as well. Yuzo Toyda is coming back to play for us on May 15th.
Busy, busy. See you on the flip-flop!
