| I teach in Japan. Should I move or not??? What do you think?
I teach English in Japan. I have been here 2 years and was placed in the countryside by my company. I now have the chance to move into the city.
Countryside-
I know the students, I have a lot of free time at work, I can leave early sometimes, 10 minute commute, cheap rent, I can take my vacation days whenever I want, far from other English speaking friends, lonely, have to ride my bike an hour to the city when I want to stay out past 10:30 (the time of the last bus home...)
City-
New students and teachers, larger/smaller apartment (currently unknown), more expensive rent, busier job, closer to English speaking friends, no more bus schedules, close to the train station, no more nature, can't take my vacation days whenever I want, definately can't leave early, longer commute
I would move in August and this would be my last year here....
any thoughts?
