I’m just another foreigner living in Japan. I live in South Tokyo just outside of the huge ex-pat community. I hope that what you find here in these pages will be useful, informative, entertaining, or some combination of the three. And, if you have anything you’d like to share, feel free. I, for one, enjoy learning new things and hope to learn something from everyone who has something they want to share here. So come on in, browse, and share.
In the last month NOVA has taken a couple of big hits in the news media and may be feeling the effects. Despite a reportedly successful ad campaign, the mideeds of some NOVA foreign teachers and managers have created headaches for the eikaiwa school giant. One issue is the arrest of several foreign teachers for involvement with illegal drugs while the other issue is the investigation by the Japanese government arising from claims of fraud regarding initial student contracts.
