September 2010: JET Effect Spotlight
Sep 1st
AJET Games Touch Rugby Tournament
This month, JET Effect is talking to Jeff Oloizia, a Tokushima 3rd year ALT who helps run one of the most well established JET events of the year. Jeff is in charge of the annual Eishinsha Cup AJET Games Touch Rugby Tournament which held its 7th annual tournament this year.
The tournament takes place each year at the Shikoku Saburo no Sato in Mima City, Tokushima-ken. ‘It is a wonderful venue’ Jeff comments, ‘located by the Yoshino River, it has picturesque mountains overlooking the fields and enough cabins and tent spaces to accomodate over 200 participants.’

Hello Everyone!
The Jelly fish are out and schools are resuming from summer vacation. September is an exciting month for JETs because most are starting to feel comfortable living in Japan and getting used to a daily routine, or getting back into the swing of things from the summer holidays. We also have two public holidays on the 21st and 23rd. I encourage you to explore other parts of Japan on those days, such as areas in Block 8 or visit Shimabara in Nagasaki prefecture to attend the TPR Storytelling Workshop.
As always, if you have comments, questions or additions for the E-Bulletin, please e-mail me at chair@ajet.net.
Cheers!

Message from the Chair
Hello Everyone!
I would first like to welcome all of the new JETs that arrived in Japan, your new home for the upcoming year. I hope your first few days are treating you well. If you have some difficulties or need to have a listening ear, please call our Peer Support Group hotline at 050-5534-5566, you can call anywhere from Japan toll free.
Summers in Japan are a great time to travel around the country by “Seishun 18 Kippu”, driving, cycling and many other modes of transportation. There are many festivals and fireworks displays happening around the nation during the first weeks in August, please read our All Japan Fireworks Guide for more information.
Have a great August and if you have questions please e-mail me at chair@ajet.net.
Cheers!
