Why JET? I wanted to do JET ever since I graduated college. I wanted to experience living in another country versus just visiting it.

Why the HAJET PC? I wanted to help newcomers in Japan. Whether you like it or not, you will experience culture shock, and some people may not be able to handle or understand some situations. That’s when I hope to come in handy. And as for those who live in Inaka-ville, they may need some advice on how to make the best of their new rural life.
