Wow, small world! Yeah, most of the English schools in Japan seem shady as f*** and Nova was probably the worst of the pack. Teaching did help me get over my own fear of public speaking, though, and I had a lot more positive experiences than negative. What part of Japan did you live in, and what do you miss the most about it? I love the convenience of Tokyo; there's many things I'll miss if I ever leave.

i was in Sasebo. I miss the food, and the safety as well as public transportation and of course the odd futuristic japanese sensibility
The public transportation is great. I love being able to take the train everywhere and not drive (which I hated and found very stressful when I lived in the States). And Tokyo, while one of the biggest cities in the world, is also one of the safest. I would never ever want to live in a big city in the US.
