How I did it: I went on the JET Programme. A friend handed me the application one day and I thought "what the hell...?" I applied. A grueling interview and six months later I was on a plane bound for Tokyo.
I was based in southern Japan on the island of Shikoku in a city called Takamatsu. I taught at the best senior high school in my prefecture and I met tons of people who will probably be my friends for the rest of my life.

Lessons & tips: Study Japanese. At least the Kana.
