Life After the B.O.E. – Now Available!

JET Alumni, JET Programme

All JETs keenly remember the moment when they realized their JET experience was not going to be exactly what they had envisioned: the cold apartments, the rural countryside, the plethora of food definitely NOT provided at your favorite Japanese restaurant back home… But there were amazing moments, too, such as making a breakthrough with a student, finally feeling like a useful member of your teaching staff, and realizing that your Japanese town or city would always have a place in your heart.

Toronto-based artist David Namisato has been delighting the JETAA community for years with his monthly “Life After the B.O.E” web comics, which perfectly capture the wonderfully bizarre range of emotions and situations JETs experience.  And now they’re available in book form (and with several more brand new comics!).

Available at Amazon.com and CreateSpace, consider picking one up for yourself or for a fellow JET in your life!
