I am assigned to Sapporo-shi, Hokkaido!

Finally I got to know where I will be working in Japan! Got a big package in the mail today. Inside is a formal letter stating that I have been confirmed. All other formal letter of acceptance, terms & conditions of service, welcome letter etc. from the contracting organisation (the school or Board of Education) will be sent to me after May 28.

I’ve got to contact my predecessor directly soon.

Yes!! Its unbelievable but I got what I have requested for. I get to live and work in Hokkaido, in Sapporo to boot!

Man, I love that place. The scenery, the people, the relatively slow pace of life… Sigh… lovely.

I still remember having breakfast in the school canteen. Chatting with a colleague of mine about where will be nice to work at. I told him how wonderful it will be to work in Hokkaido.

 

I’m so grateful to God.

More information soon!

Japan here I come!

If all goes well, I’ll be in Japan sometime in August this year.

Not really on holiday, but working as an Assistant English Language Teacher there. Wonder if I will get to be posted to Hokkaido. I chose Hokkaido as my first preferred place to be posted to.

Lots of things I look forward to do when I’m there.

1) Set up cordial relations between my present school and my future school in Japan. (Hopefully a high school)

2) Set up several video conferencing sessions between students in Singapore and Japan

3) Create MORE games for Japanese Mobile Phones!!!

4) Learn more Japanese

5) Get more game ideas from Japan

6) Breathe in the fresh air of the countryside

It’s going to be a LONG VACATION. 5 Years hopefully.

Hai!
