Home, or a Reasonable Facsimile
By Carolyn Ali alimanz@hotmail.com Ah, it seems like just yesterday I was ordering boxes of Cheerios through the Foreign Buyers Club. Now, I just have to walk down to my local supermarket to pick up a box. But wait...there’s four kinds of Cheerios...and what’s that new flavour? Maybe I need to buy three boxes to get that deal. What’s a Safeway Club Card?...my head is starting to spin... The return home. Much planned, dreaded, longed after...and here I am, finally home. Or some version of it. This month sees a new crop of fresh-off-the-plane JETs adjusting back to B.C. After three years on JET in Nara prefecture, I am also arriving home this summer after a buffer year of travel. Upon arriving in Vancouver, I assumed I would take it easy for a while, see family and friends and enjoy the best two months that BC has to offer. However, two weeks at home with the parents had me jump starting the apartment search, and suddenly I was moving into a new flat, and then a new job...wait a sec, what do you mean “two weeks vacation a year?” This is going to take a lot of getting used to... It has been great to see my old friends again. However, as all the re-entry seminars warn you, you can’t go away for a couple years and expect things to pick up as usual when you return. I left for Japan straight after university graduation when my friends and I were living the student life: old furniture, menial jobs, unlimited options. Upon returning home, my friends seem essentially the same but somehow years more “mature” than I. They have spent four years working up the career ladder and now have Real Jobs, Serious Furniture and even casually toss around mortgage terms and baby names. Meanwhile, I am hauling my bean-bag chair out of storage, getting ready to start a good but entry level job, and remain terrified of the thought of owning anything that would tie me down to one part of the globe. When I’m around my old friends, sometimes I feel as if I have been stuck in a time warp and everyone has moved on without me. My years in Japan feel somewhat like a parallel universe: I know they happened, but they seem to have happened in a kingdom far, far away. My friends were interested in Japan for the first twenty-three minutes of our reunion, but after that, they seemed to forget I ever left Vancouver. The great thing is that there are people out there who understand this. On my way home, I stopped to visit some British JET friends in London. The had all left Japan a year or two before, and it was reassuring to see that they had made a successful transition to the next phase in their lives and were living quite happily. I met some of the JET Alumni in B.C. this month, and they too are doing well. There does indeed seem to be life after JET! (please see page 6)
Your Words Meant So Much To Me
E d i t o r ’ s R a n t by Paul Donovan Fall is once again around the corner. I miss fall in Japan. The wonderful sights, colours and smells of the fall season in Japan were perhaps one of my favourite things while living tucked away in the Japan Alps. Watching the annual rice harvest, seeing all the persimmon drying in the warm fall sun, hiking during all the spectacular fall foliage, walks and hikes along the old Edo-Kyoto route in Gifu-ken, and of course, sports festival and culture festival at school. Fall cooking in Japan was some of the best food I’ve ever tasted. Matsutake mushrooms, fresh cucumbers and pumpkin, new rice, and “nabe” were some of my favourites. Natsukashii!
I recently met a new Alumni who had just finished 3 years in Japan on JET. Over the last 2 summers he's contacted me when he's been home. Each time he's reminded me that a speech I gave at the Preparation Seminar in 1997 gave him so much guidance in what was ahead for him. He recalls my story of my first hamburger order at Tokyo orientation, taking the plastic silverware from McDonald's so I didn't have to fumble with chopsticks at lunch time at school and oh so many other such stories. I think about the number of speeches, workshops, events, activities. I've participated in as an Alumni. I think about how many new and prospective JET's have heard some of my stories of my experience in Japan and on JET. It’s overwhelming.
In the last issue of this newsletter I wrote a little story about volunteering. I had a couple of people comment on it. But I'm truly an advocate of volunteering. JETAABC needs your help. The steering committee each year is run by people who want to help. But the committee members shouldn't be the only ones who organize things. Events need volunteers to help organize them. Our chapter is spearheading many special projects that we hope will branch out to other chapters and be of help to othWelcome home to all the returning ers. Things like: JETs! I’m sure your suffering from a bit of reverse culture shock! I know Tatami Timeshare (like what AJET offered in Japan -- stay with coming home was harder than leav- other alumni while travelling) ing on JET for myself. JETAABC has Mentor Program (assist newly returned Alumni with getting setorganized some great “welcome- tled into life in BC) back!” events and career-oriented Japan Suitcase (visiting local schools to talk about Japan) programs in the upcoming months Cross Canada Newsletter (for Canadian JETs in Japan mailed to help you settle into life back in in the Spring) Canada. We’re all looking forward to meeting you, hearing your stories, So let's see you all jump on the bandwagon and volunteer to and lending a helping hand as best help our chapter develop and grow. we can, if needed. Have a wonderful autumn season and see you all in the next few months! Ogenki de, mata ne! Matt.

Kimono Show contributed by Albert Ngai (albngai@home.com)
For those of you who live in Vancouver, you must have found out by now, one way or another, that there is a kimono show coming up in Vancouver. It will be held on Sat. Sept. 16th at the Chan Centre for Performing Arts at UBC. The show will demonstrate kitsuke (how to put on a kimono) and the history of kimono with a fashion show and so on. I've never been to one but it sure sounds really interesting. Admission is free but tickets are required. However, at this late date there are no more tickets available through the sole distributing travel agent. The good news is, the agent said that he doubts all who got tickets will show up since there are 1200 seats in the Chan Centre and 1200 Do you have any exciting tickets were distributed.

A Different Kind of Culture Shock by Anjali Atal atal@canada.com Hello BC JETAA. I really miss you guys and have only just started to get acquainted with the San Francisco chapter of JETAA California. I still hear all the news about events etc. electronically, though. My visits to B.C. are shorter than I would like, b California is starting to feel like home. I thought I would share some of my observations about living in the Silicon Valley with yo Somewhat similar to my Japan experience, (those of you who know me know what I mean!) my first few months here were pre tough. I came in February '99 I had no work visa and had to find an employer who would sponsor me. Most people down he think that a Canadian citizen automatically falls under the NAFTA Treaty. They are so wrong! To be applicable under NAFTA f a simple TN work stamp at the border, you must be an engineer, accountant, management consultant etc.(there's a list at th NAFTA website) with the credentials to prove it. College teachers make the list, but not high school teachers. And since tha what I am, I needed a proper work visa, which meant I had to compete with all of the talents from other countries to make th yearly quota. Luckily, I found a wonderful high school district in Walnut Creek who wanted to start up a Japanese program. I w able to start work after a few months, and in the meantime, I worked as a consultant for the Asia Pacific Foundation. The on problem was that I didn't enjoy teaching here at all. Despite the money that my district had, and the excellent salary they pa (contrary to what I'd heard), I didn't like the attitude of many of the students and some of their parents, as well as the administr tion. Teachers aren't well-regarded professionally here, either. It felt like a babysitting job and I was restless, bored and fru trated. In the meantime, socially I kept meeting all of these high tech, pre-IPO types of professionals. I started to become a sto market junkie and found that the charged atmosphere of the Valley made me want to, quite frankly, change careers! I just resigned a few weeks ago and have been looking for a position as an instructional web designer for software companies, but even though I got some potential offers, companies backed off when they heard of the paperwork delays for a new work visa. Luckily I got an offer from a biomedical start-up company that is willing to wait; I will be their communications and training officer. I am really excited because, quite honestly, I was getting tired of teaching. For any of you considering a change from Beautiful B.C., though, I would say that I love Canada the best. I came here because my husband's career opportunities are good here and almost non-existent in B.C. at this point. But despite the higher salaries and stock options the Silicon Valley rewards one with, the lifestyle is definitely more demanding. This is a capitalist country in the true sense of the world. I miss our more socialist policies (health care is the big one!) and I REALLY miss the mountains. Also, buying a house is the most competitive experience I've ever been through. I hope that one day we can come back to Canada, but for now we're Californians. I don't mind the sunshine, truth be told.... If anyone wants information about JETAA down here, or information about Silicon Valley/high tech opportunities, you can drop me a line at atal@canada.com I hope to join at least one of your events in the next year.

Anjali Atal Paul Donovan Alberta Ngai Angela Tan Tokyo Q Magazine
News from Japan From the Tokyo Q Website Prime Minister Yoshiro Mori, faced with polls that show a mere 20 percent of Japanese approve of his performance, said that anyone else interested in the job should step forward. A vending machine in a field in Miyazaki began selling packets of live beetles to insect devotees. Kyoto University researchers announced they have identified the gene that neutralizes invading bacteria. An improbable research collaboration between the International Trade and Industry Ministry and Chiba University used brain scans to determine that women listen to arguments with both sides of their brain while men use only only one. Miyakejima island erupted again and all residents were evacuated to Tokyo. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Just as the government decided to scrap 233 public-works projects, it decided to kick in a 10-trillion-yen addition to the budget for a mysterious "Japan Rebirth Plan." The Tokyo Metropolitan Symphony Orchestra was downsized because their subsidy was cut. University applications were down; one university addressed the problem by offering applicants free passes to Disneyland. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------It appeared that the Bank of Japan can't get rid of 150 million 2,000-yen banknotes -- a new denomination -- because vending machines don't accept them. The private secretary of a member of the Lower House was arrested for buying votes for his boss, who said he had no idea. A Yokohama man was sentenced to death for burying two people alive. NTT began providing a service whereby subscribers can, as prescribed by custom, visit the family grave once a year, using the Internet, thus doing away with the inconvenience of actually visiting the site. The owner of a beauty salon was arrested for using the credit cards of customers having their hair styled to withdraw cash from the ATM next door. 366 Tokyo people were taken to hospital for heatstroke.

The deadline for applications is Monday, September 25, 2000. Position: ENGLISH ADVISOR/POLITICAL ANALYST in the Permanent Mission of Japan to the United Nations in Geneva, Switzerland Functions: The main duties are editing English speeches and UN interventions, and writing various letters and faxes for the diplomats. The successful candidate will attend conferences and write summaries or answer questions on content, as well as help the delegation with random tasks such as organizing meetings, etc. The position is in the Political Affairs Section and Specialized Agencies Section, dealing mostly with Human Rights, Humanitarian Affairs, the International Labour Organization, the World Health Organization, etc. The position involves late hours on occasion, sometimes at the last minute, and also work under time pressure. Requirements: While all of the following criteria will be taken into consideration, only #1 and #4 are essential. The ideal candidate will have: 1. EXCELLENT English writing and editing skills. She or he must be a NATIVE ENGLISH SPEAKER. 2. knowledge/experience in international affairs.

The contract term is two years (renewable by mutual agreement) with a three-month trial period. The starting date will be near the beginning of December 2000.
(Continued from page 1) It also appears that it will be pretty easy for me to retain my link to Japan in at least one area: food. I am delighted at the quality and quantity of sushi shops lining Vancouver streets which help me sustain my addiction. It’s also easy to get almost any kind of Japanese staple at the various Japanese konbini on Robson. I love to go in there and listen to the sounds of J-pop blaring on the stereo and the chatter of Japanese as I buy my okonomiyaki sauce. I wonder if you can get that stuff in bulk? Is there an FBC for Japanese food? If anyone knows a good source for cheap katsuobushi, give me a ring... Applications: Applications will be considered as they come in, with a deadline of Monday, September 25, 2000. A decision will be made within a month of this deadline. Early applications are encouraged. If interested, please send a c.v., cover letter, and contact information for 3 professional references (no reference letters please) to: Kyle Hedlund c/o Mission Permenente du Japon 3, chemin des Fins CP 337 1211 Geneva 19 Switzerland If you would also like to send your application by email or you have any queries: englishadvisor@yahoo.ca

NEED TO GET RID OF SOME OF YOUR JAPANESE STUFF? So you've been back from Japan for a while now and you still have a lot of cute, little Japanese items, which you couldn't bear to part with or couldn't give away as "omiyage" to your friends. They're lying around your place, cluttering up your place and basically collecting dust. Well...here is the answer to your problem! You can donate these wonderful items to JETAABC to go into the "JAPAN SUITCASE". What is this, you ask? Well, the JAPAN SUITCASE is a new program which we hope to be starting soon. It is basically a suitcase full of Japanese items and information about Japan which could be used to educate children in elementary schools in the Lower Mainland. If you would like to get involved, or like to donate a few items, please email us at "angelkeik@hotmail.com". Thanks!
Good luck to all the new ALTs! Reasons Why The English Language Is Hard To Learn: 1. The bandage was wound around the wound. 2. The farm was used to produce produce. 3. The dump was so full that it had to refuse more refuse. 4. We must polish the Polish furniture. 5. He could lead if he would get the lead out. 6. The soldier decided to desert his dessert in the desert. 7. Since there is no time like the present, he thought it was time to present the present. 8. A bass was painted on the head of the bass drum. 9. When shot at, the dove dove into the bushes. 10. I did not object to the object. 11. The insurance was invalid for the invalid. 12. There was a row among the oarsmen about how to row. 13. They were too close to the door to close it. 14. The buck does funny things when the does are present. 15. A seamstress and a sewer fell down into a sewer line. 16. To help with planting, the farmer taught his sow to sow. 17. The wind was too strong to wind the sail. 18.

What is this organization called JETAABC? So, you’ve signed up for JETAABC, now what? Luckily, you’ve signed on with one of the most active and organized JET Alumni associations in Canada. This is a rough list of what we do: • Produce a newsletter every two months. • Sponsor a pub night each month. • Join the Mokuyokai on a hike each month. • Organize an orientation seminar for new JETs in May. • Organize a re-entry and career prep seminar in November. • Sponsor two roundtable discussions a year. • Hold major gatherings in September, January, and June. • Send a delegate to the JETAA international conference. • Help produce the Cross Canada newsletter once per year. • Keep a website up to date (for which we could use someone to help!!!!!!). We do a lot, but we can always stand to improve. What are your ideas? What else would you like to see JETAABC do? One thing I’d like to see is more contact with other alumni chapters. Does anyone have contacts they could use or ideas on how we can interact more? Let me know! Contact Krista at kwatson@sfu.ca
