This is a site run by a lovely lady I met through CouchSurfing.org. She's really enthusiastic about travel, culture-sharing, and Fukui! If you have ever been curious about learning Fukui's own dialect of Japanese, this page is a nice start.

We're having an international party in Salsa Lab on 26th of May

Hello,

I am new to Fukui and am currently looking for someone to go hiking with. I've done some research on nearby trails, and I plan to hike Mt.Arashima this Sunday (weather pending!). I'll also be hiking Mt.Hakusan at the beginning of Golden week if anyone wants to join?

If you ever want to go for a hike, or are part of a pre-existing hiking group, please message me at smile_for_charlotte@msn.com.

Hello dear Fukui JETs,

Fukui JALT will be holding couple of presentations in the months to come. All of the presentations are in one way or another connected to your classrooms. Thus attending one of the upcoming presentations might provide you with some useful foreign language learning and teaching classroom ideas.

In the following months three presentations will be hosted:

1. Sunday, 27th of May: Ayako Hisatsune presents The Reading Circle: A Student-Centered Approach to Teaching Reading
Time: 13:30-15:30
Venue: Open University of Japan Fukui Campus, AOSSA, 7th Floor (here is link to AOSSA www.aossamall.jp/guide.html)

The following two presentations are scheduled for the same time and the same venue but on the following dates:

2. Sunday, June 24th. Saying “Hi” to Hi Friends by Matt Gilhool and Galina Shimo
3. Sunday, July 22nd. Using assessment to promote foreign language learning and teaching in elementary school context by Matt Hauca

Just as a side note, the Japan Association for Language Teaching (JALT) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to the improvement of language teaching and learning both within Japan and internationally. JALT has nearly 3,000 members, with 35 chapters and 26 SIGs (for more details please follow this link: jalt.org). Fukui JALT is one of these 35 chapters. The Fukui JALT Chapter comprises of members and non-members residing in Fukui, Ishikawa and Toyama prefectures. Presenters are usually individuals with teaching backgrounds in the field of foreign language education; presenters can be either members or non-members and they can be from anywhere within or out of Japan. If you are ever interested in presenting on any foreign language learning and teaching topic please do not hesitate to contact us at: fukuijalt@gmail.com

Hope you can join us!

Best regards,

Hi everybody,
I'm a miserable researcher/student at the University of Fukui, stuck for the next 2 years of his short life in this to-good-to-be-true city /SARCASM
Anyways, after spending a lot of time watching "kawaii" things, going to temples and climbing mountains, I decided that it's time to do the thing that I really like: CLUBBING!
However, due to huge transportation and lodging costs in Japan, I'm trying my best to find travelling/clubbing partners
I usually prefer going to Nagoya, although I don't mind going to Tokyo and Osaka every now and then
So...if anybody is willing to organize such trip, sharing the travelling expenses please be generous and "bring me to life"
Thank you

What
It’s the 15th Annual Oita JET Charity Bike Trip! Every year we, Oita JETs, (and anyone else who wants to come along) ride around Oita and the surrounding prefectures to raise money for charity.

Why
This year we will be raising money for Ashinaga, a Tokyo based nonprofit which provides education-focused financial and emotional support to children who have lost one or both parents due to a severe disability or death. It is currently in the process of building a “Rainbow House” which will provide both day-to-day and long-term psychosocial support to children who have lost one or both parents due to the Northern Japan disaster.

When
May 19-20 (Saturday, Sunday)

Where
We are planning to start in Oita’s Sakanoichi City and follow Oita’s beautiful East coast down to Saiki. We will then cut a bit inland to get to our accommodations. We will be staying in cabins at Onagara Forest Park (小半森林公園). This is a draft of the proposed route.

Who
Participation is open to anyone who wants to come. We are looking for riders (with a bike and helmet) volunteers (with a car or without), and people (with hearts) to help fund raise for this wonderful cause. Last year we had an amazing 54 participants and raised over $20,000 (185,086￥ went to Room to Read and 1,430,255￥ went to Tohoku) for charity. Come be a part of this amazing trip.

How Much
10,000￥. This includes one night’s accommodation, dinner, breakfast, snack packs for each day, gas money for the volunteers and a snazzy t-shirt! Any remaining money will be added to the charity money. Lunch for both days is separate.

each):

Movie Trailers/Commercials (1 minute)
Keep it short and sweet. Spoof an existing product or showcase your own!

Karaoke/Music Videos (5 minutes)
We’re all aware of those unforgettable videos that play along when
you’re belting out your favorite tune. Think you can do better? Think you
can do worse?
Any musicians looking to self-promote are free to submit a little
something-something of their own as well.

Short Films (5 minutes)
Give yourself the ultimate challenge of churning out a five minute flick.
You’ll just have to watch your pacing. Then again, you could always
submit a scene from a longer piece of work. Let the audience watch your
ending first? You could be the next Tarantino!

RULES:
There is no submission fee
ANYONE is free to participate
Entries must be in either English or Japanese (subtitles are appreciated,but not necessary)
Participants may submit as many entries as they like*
