How I did it
It made me
worldly. 
How I did it: I worked at NOVA which is now defunct, teaching English in Japan. It was hard to be that far away from home, but I'm so glad I did it. Japan is so different from the US. I probably would have enjoyed it more year 2. I lived in Tokyo. Read how I did it…
It made me
happy.
How I did it: I can't really say it was worth it since my dissertation is still unwritten. But it was fun!I had to take breaks to do other sim things cuz I occasionally got bored. Read how I did it…

Go to Japan...and spend time there!
2 years ago
I was there for a year, teaching English. I think I would not have enjoyed nearly as much if I had not lived there. It took months to figure out how basic things work. Appreciating things took even longer. But I am so glad I went there, I have a better understanding of Japanese people and culture and I saw a lot of temples and large well-lit intersections.
