34 comments

1. School 1: 30 second walk.
   School 2: 40 min drive

2. When I was on JET I use to do a 30minute cycle along the river. Great pre-gym warmup after work. Also mornings along the river did me so good for peace of mind/ mental health.
   Saved a bunch of money too. A lot of BOEs forbid cycling for some stupid reason sa mine did but you just dont go around advertising it and you are fine. Also bring a change of clothes as you dont wanna be that swetty stinking alt.

3. School 1: 5-10 min drive (traffic dependent)

   School 2: 15-20 min drive.

   School 3: 35-45 mins on the highway (with a few hundred ¥¥ toll); or 45-1hr on the toll-free roads

   School 4: 45 mins on toll-free roads, never any traffic variations because it was pretty remote.

   All times are one-way, and I visited each school at least once a week. I drove a lot.

4. Pretty spoiled here.

   M/T/F is a 5 min drive so sometimes I literally roll out of bed & i’m at school 1.

   W/Th is a beautiful 10min drive through the tanbo.

5. School 1: 15-20 minute bus ride.
   School 2: 20-25 minute bus ride.

   Plus a 5 minute walk to the bus stop (incl. a very mean flight of stairs). We’re literally forbidden by our BoE to drive or ride a bicycle to work. Had to continually use the bus every day during the entire pandemic.

   (edits: the walking & driving parts)

6. School 1 and School 2: 30 steps (I live in school housing).
   School 3: 15 minute taxi ride.
