Issue 3 - Saturday, 20th May 2000

Issue three is a little late - sorry. Today is Saturday, but Friday got a little hectic and I couldn't find the time to find the resources I wanted to put in this issue. I have been getting a lot of emails from people asking what to do about coming to Japan, so I thought a few resources might be useful. There are a few links to information about money, about bringing computers and telephoning, and (very important) the time difference between Japan and where you are now. This could save you a call in the middle of the night (or making the same mistake calling home).

I also came across an online map for the whole of Japan the other day, so I've put in the links for Japan, Aichi Prefecture and Okazaki city.

CONTENTS

1. Application Deadlines
2. Acceleration Program
3. Preparations for coming to Japan - money, electricity, phoning
4. Where in Japan? Maps online

As ever, there are deadlines coming up - don't forget to contact me at admissions@yamasa.org if you have any holidays and you want to come to Japan this summer, or anytime.

I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Yours sincerely,

Euan McKay.
