The other ALT


There are two JET English teachers on Yakushima. The other is Brittany, who lives on the south side of the island, about 45 minutes from me. She's really sweet and funny and I'm looking forward to being good friends with her. She's from Minnesota, has a slight accent (cute on girls, hick on boys) and, like me, has no experience teaching English. Her side of the island seems to be a little more strict regarding work hours and car usage. For example, she's been going to the office for the last two weeks despite having absolutely nothing to do there. She also has to leave her car at work while I can use mine pretty much whenever I want, for free.
