First off let me give a big welcome to all of the incoming new FuJETs!
This year, like years before, we will be hosting a welcome party for new JETs at Tokyo Orientation. This will take place on Monday August 1st for Group B and starts after the official JET welcome reception (which finishes at 8).
We will meet in the lobby and all head over together to a local izakaya that puts up with us every year. There we will enjoy a tabehodai/nomihodai which means that you get to eat as much as you want (usually finger foods) and more importantly drink as much as you want (cocktails and beer, or soft drinks if you prefer)!
When: 8pm Monday, August 1st
How much: 3,000 yen for dinner and drinks
Where: in Takadanobaba but FuJET reps will meet you in the Keio plaza lobby
This is seriously the best part of Tokyo Orientation and is the perfect way for you to get to know your fellow JETs and meet some of your illustrious sempai who come down to join in the festivities. Even if you don’t drink you should come alog, soft drinks are provided and it is seriously a lot of fun.
I am presuming all new JETs are coming but looking for some awesome sempai to come down to Tokyo and share their Fukushima wisdom.
Below is a list of sempai that have expressed interest. I need to have a final number by Sunday July, 31st. so if you want to come you need to contact me at fujetcouncil AT gmail DOT com. The list is broken into two parts, the first section is people that have confirmed they are coming and the second half is people I have not heard back from. I will only make reservations for people on the confirmed list.
If I have your name on this list in error or you wish to be added you need to also email me at the above address.
