Japan - Land of Contrast
The mix of modern and ancient that runs throughout all aspects of culture and society is a source of fascination for the casual observer and of serious study for academics.
An English teacher in japan will have access to such things as tea ceremony, martial arts, sumo, kabuki, calligraphy and festivals.
However, these more traditional pursuits are balanced by more modern pastimes both real and virtual.
Teachers will get behind the apparent shyness and reserve to experience the warmth and friendliness of the Japanese people.
Whatever your interests, as an english teacher, Japan has plenty to offer.
