I got a letter from the Japanese Embassy today REJECTING my application to the 2006 JET Programme. Can you believe that? I speak Japanese and have already got experience teaching English in Japan. Those motherfuckers!
Reassuringly, however, is the knowledge that they want total noobs to participate in JET, and I know I'm not the only one who can speak Japanese and has missed out on JET. Something to do with the fact that they don't want people to speak Japanese in class. Stupid!
Well, back to the drawing board. I guess I'll just have to save up enough money to get over there. With a degree and a working-holiday visa, it should be no problem.
God damn it though!

Sounds like I wouldn't be eligible for JET then... not having English as native language *and* studying Japanese. :P
I wouldn't get too discouraged! They want an interest in Japan, but not experience being there already (probably!)
