A bit of background- I lived in Japan for nearly 30 years, I’m fluent in the language, love the culture, my kids live there, and I really miss it. Most of my work was in education (curriculum as well as teaching), but a third of it was in proofreading medical and technical papers/translation and a quarter of it in marketing and promotion. I have desktop publishing and API skills, and I’ve passed the JLPT N1. I have a B.A. from UMC and Sophia, and in six months I’ll be graduating with a second degree, a B.Sc. in Environmental Science, which I would love to put to use in Japan.
I wonder if anyone has any good words of advice for getting back to Japan. I lived for nearly all my time there in Fukuoka, where my kids are now, though I don’t have to go back there. It would be nice though.
