I’ve finally put together my own application for The Best Job in the World.

I appreciate that the video is not a slick as some and that I’m not a bikini clad young lady, but I do possess the actual skill set that is required for the post. I’m also a stills photographer, rather than a video editor.


I have been very please to see that Dr Thomas McAuley,  Academic Tutor for Sheffield University’s Japanese Distance Learning,   has started a blog tying together threads from his Japanese experiences. The blog is for eltnews.com, a Japanese web site for English Teachers in Japan, but is publicly available.

Dr Thomas McAuley no longer lives in Japan but has been teaching Japanese language and studies for more than fifteen years.

I wish his blog well and will follow it closely.
