Pre-departure Orientation

Our pre-departure orientation was on August 3rd at the Ambassador's residence. Basically it was a chance for me to meet the other JETS and discuss our preparations for living and working in Japan. Our presenter was a former JET and she provided us with some helpful information. After that session we had lunch with the ambassador. It was a nice experience and I'm still pinching myself to see if this is all real. I won't be leaving with the rest of girls though :( since I was the last to be contacted so I guess the consulate wanted to give me more time to prepare ..... Picked up my Japanese visa as well :) Still no word on placement tho .... Ugghh this programme demands patience cuz trust me there's LOTS of waiting!!!

Only took one group pic cuz I didn't really wanna invade the ambassador's privacy by taking pics in his home.
