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!

Hey again! How's Fukui life treating you so far?

Continue settling in, relax and get to know Fukui better as we help you make friends with some awesome locals! Run by a team of FJETs and Fukuians since 1997, Family Net is here to promote cultural exchange and make your time in Fukui a bit more memorable. There are quite a few families here looking to share their lives and culture with you. These folks would also love to learn more about your life and home! Family Net is not a home stay program, but in addition to introducing you to new friends, Family Net also organizes and hosts a few events during the year for you and your family to enjoy. Joining the program costs ¥1,000 which goes to support these events.

If you're interested in joining the Family Net program, download the application here http://fjet.org/files/familynet/fn-application.doc. The download should start automatically. Complete the application and send it to fjet.familynet@gmail.com by Friday, August 26th. We'll do our best to find friends near you!

Oh! Keep September 11th open because that's when we'll introduce you to your new friends ♥

From us and your future host families and friends, welcome to Fukui and see you soon!
