Happy autumn to everyone! Yes, the Japan Isles have finally decided to stop throwing unbearable heat and typhoons at us in favor of giving us weather we all can enjoy. To mark the arrival of this fine fine season, festivals and events are thrown here there and everywhere to make life as interesting as possible before winter hits.

So many festivals.
So many events.

It's hard to keep track of everything so let's help each other out with...
☆FJET.org☆ The website for all FJETs and foreign Fukuians to use and view!

Know of something interesting going on in your neighborhood? Got some useful advice or info to share with your fellow JETs? Post it here on good ol' FJET.org!

See that "Post Something!" tab? It's yours to use! (Of course you have to have an account on this site first, but that's easy to get set up once you click "join" there at the top of the page.)

Everyone has the ability to post on the forums, event calendar and even the front page. As those who teach at JHSs know, "Communication is important." (The Sacred Text of New Horizon 2, p.40). Let's heed that advice and help each other have an awesome time in Fukui!
