She told me that she and her organization are interested in helping foreigners find work in the Kanto and Kansai areas. It is clear that they are interested in finding people who would like to work with preschool children but I'm not sure if they can help with other kinds of job searches. If you would like to know more about their services, either contact them via phone or e-mail or make arrangements to talk with them in person at the International Center in downtown Kumamoto.-- Kirk------ message from the organization ------Hoikueiken Supports Gaikokujin in KumamotoKumamoto City and Hoikueiken collaborate and setup Kumamoto Career Gaikokujin Support Desk at Kumamoto City International Center (KCIC).

The article says that, in both Japanese and English, there was a good deal of misinformation on the web related to the earthquakes and/or the situation in Kumamoto. It also quotes me (correctly) as saying that I saw almost nothing that struck me as misinformation or hate speech (except something from one person posting in Japanese about "dubious foreigners" that Sara shared with us). So, since I seemed to have missed it, I'd be curious to learn about any misinformation that any of you might have noticed.-- Kirkhttp://www.j-cast.com/2016/05/31268243.html【熊本地震とインターネット(5=最終回)】 「真夜中の激震」その時外国人は...

As I prepared my daughter's room for her return from college, the answer was negative (for an air conditioner about her age). Considering my options, I ordered the below from Amazon based on its star number and low price - only 300 yen! One hassle is that, as it is a universal remote, you have to find your code and enter it using the temperature control up/down button, but a search of the Internet and some fiddling around enabled even a geezer like me to do it. I sit now with a smug smile as I type this, supremely annoying my wife.
