My experience

I had a great time in Japan, the people were friendly the sights were amazing and learning Japanese was challenging! I enjoyed all the AJET events organized for us and the prefectural conferences on teaching gave us a chance to interact and share ideas.

At times the culture shock was overwhelming but I did manage to get through this as well.

The salary and benefits were very competitive compared to what I would earn back home in South Africa and I managed to pay for my studies with my savings.
