Well at the end of last month I quit my job…and I am happy to say I have another one. In fact I had an interview the day after golden week and started later that week…. I am still working in an international kindergarten, but the pay is better, the staff are really nice and the owner isn’t Japanese. Not that I have anything against Japanese business owners….Japan is full of them obviously, and it works well…but I am used to the way foreigners run things and I guess at this stage I feel more comfortable with that.
I am still doing my internship three afternoons a week, as well as about 8 hours of private lessons a week…and I am really busy, but I kind of prefer it this way. And I don’t work weekends unless there are events for Being A Broad where I do my internship…
The school is called Summerhill and it is in Roppongi area where there are lots of ex-pat families with money ( that can afford to pay 100 dollars a day for 5 hours of school per child). The classes are bigger there than my old school, but kids are the same everywhere…The last place I was at I loved the kids, and I love the kids at my new place also, but I am happier where I am now because of the staff situation and management situation. So far it is all going well….

I am just a twenty something Aussie girl living in Chiba, Japan with my Japanese husband trying to make sense of the crazy Japanese world we live in! We welcomed our first son in December 2009 (Noah) and a second son in January 2011, 2 months premature (Shion). I am working hard at raising them to be confident, bilingual, happy kids!
