Reverse Commuting
I don’t know if I’d call it “reverse commuting” but riding a train INTO the commuter city for a change is always interesting. I remember being back in America and hating to commute but here in Japan it’s not too bad. The only time I ever get pissed is when it’s SUPER CROWDED and we start quoting lines from Die Hard…
I can’t imagine myself ever living in a commuter town. Sure, I’ll have MORE space, CHEAPER prices and a company willing to pay my commuting fees, but even if it’s 10 years from now I can’t see myself being “one of those commuter” dudes. Especially if the train is going to be crowded regardless, then I’d probably prefer my commute to be as short as possible.
Sleep in later….
Get some morning quickies….
…if not still plenty of time to masturbate.
Gotta love trains

***BRIEF***
Pros about teaching kids:
-Get to learn how to be around children (shit that didn’t come naturally, at least for me)
-Learn about the different J-personality types
-Get an idea of the Japanese workplace
Cons about teaching kids:
-Don’t always get to make the correct/moral choices due to legal circumstances
-Have to do stupid work you know is not effective, but since you are a salary monkey that’s all you can do
-Image matters, if you are in a wheel chair or have a scary face, it’s gonna be hard to get a job as an ESL instructor
TOP 5 – JAPAN – Shit I don’t like about “schools”
school? fuck school!
Another series. I love this country and I totally wanna live here for a while, but that doesn’t mean I can’t bitch about it.
Here’s some shit I don’t like about Japanese schools:
1. Kids who don’t go to class graduate (which basically means that if you just study for the entrance exam for high school instead of study in any other classes you will be fine).
2. Bullying is a big issue. I don’t know for a fact, but I can bet this country has more student suicides than America *has no idea what I’m talking about voice*.
3. Teachers are not allowed to go home to finish their school responsibilities. This is mostly cause a couple years ago a Japanese teacher brought his school shizzle on the train, lost it and it had all his students private info and grades and shit-people-would-use-to-find-and/or-kill-and-rape-the-students. Its stupid, a job should be from 9-5. This isn’t a “company”. You are not “trying to move up”. You are just raising the future generations of this country’s citizens lol.
4. Kids that are different are segregated. I’ve had a couple of Muslim students and whenever we have “pork” in our school lunches those kids bring their own school lunches to school, but they are not allowing to eat with the other students cause that would cause them “discomfort” knowing other kids get to bring “their own” special lunches to school. Fuckin’ tards and their bullshit rules, open up and show that there are different people with different thought cultures out there.
5. Clubs-Clubs are basically school teams that let anybody join. It’s good idea, keeps kids busy after school, gives them a feeling of group respectability while being in a positive outside school social environment. Except due to this reason the JHS teachers have NO free time, especially the younger teachers.
6 (bonus). ONLY ENGLISH- In America we get the choice of learning not just 1, but 2 or even 5 different languages in school. In Japan, nope, you HAVE TO learn English, no choice of French or Chinese or Spanish. Fuckin’ gayness, let people discover ENglish for themselves instead of shoving it down their throats, douchebags 
“How to find a job in Japan?”- Question from a viewer
My old students chilling with me at school before club time
Good question from a viewer about how to go about finding a job in Japan:
Hey Sam,
As you know I would love to work and live in Tokyo, so much even that I’m heading out to tokyo the end of august to visit my
friends but also te prepare to find a job and hopefully succeed, ofcourse !
What do you think is the best preparation to find a job in Tokyo?
Is it a good plan to personaly visit as many companies as possible and give them my resume and bussinescard?
can I just stop by a company and give them my resume, is this even possible?
Or are there other ways to find / apply for a job?
Any information is much appreciated.
With kind regards,

Yoz shizzle! Depends man, what kind of job do you wanna do and how's your Japanese? If you speak fluent Japanese and some kind of skills you can get a job anywhere. If you suck at Japanese (aka-not being able to read a newspaper or have a normal phone conversation with your internet provider), then you should probably apply at certain websites like: www.gaijinpot.com www.jobsinjapan.com www.japantimes.com (classifieds section) www.kimiwillbe.com www.metropolis.co.jp Also look for "japan job fairs" (but those are mostly for people speaking Japanese). What most people do here (myself included) is: 1-Come here so you are physically in the country 2-Find a place to stay like a guest house 3-Apply online for a bunch of jobs (before and after coming here) 4-Once you get a job, the next step is finding more permanent housing (this is after your company sorts out your visa), start looking for apartments at gaijin friendly apartment agencies (or stay at guesthouses, I did both). The agency I like is Global Network 5-Study Japanese 6-Make connections 7-Find other part time jobs and eventually some kind of job you wanna do in the future. 8-??????? 9-Profit? I have a lot more details, so if you have any more specific questions feel free to ask bro
