- professionally, I'll get solid full-time experience teaching Business English, including opportunities to create materials and incorporate what I've learned during the last year in my masters in TESOL program
- personally, I'll be able to meet with old friends living in Japan
- make lots of new friends and get involved in a new international community in Osaka
- there's soccer, salsa, samba and capoeira in Osaka, and obviously I will also be able to explore Japanese arts and culture more too
- I love Japanese festivals
- great food, and hopefully I can learn more about Japanese cuisine and how to actually cook it
- as a "tourist," I can explore Japan more
- I want my family and friends to come visit so I can show them around
- I can learn more Japanese
- I want to ski, surf, hike and bike in Japan
- I can photograph, record and write more about living in Japan
- I'll learn more from a different way of life than continuing my current routine
So, I said Yes to Japan.... I'm moving back in 2 months!
