First Post!

I'm Yas. I've learned japanese in high school and visited it for vacation two years ago and it's my dream to work there since then. After graduating I decided that I'll work as a volunteer abroad in japan.
This blog gives you an insight about the preparations and about my future life in Japan.

After a preelection they sent mails out wether you're in the program,or in the waiting list or not. I got the program but the people in Japan haven't decided if they want to take part in this programm again yet.
"The people in japan" are those from my preferred workplace. I wanted to stay in Ôsaka and especially work there in a Youth Hostel. Other places for the voluntary service could have been a kindergartens or nursing homes either in Ôsaka, Tokyô or Hiroshima.

I want to work there, because I've stayed in this Youth Hostel at my last japan stay and have a lot of friends in this area. This is another point, which hopefully makes it easier for me in japan. Having friends in Japan but also a friend from Germany who'll work at a nursing home very near to my workplace will make me feel at ease. (We will have a lot of fun together, because he's gay and we can get to know the gay areas together.)
A bad point about this is propably that I won't have the feeling of outland.

So yeah...I'm waiting right now for the organisation in japan to hopefully decide to take part in this project.
