Unfortunately, you're mistaken, I've<br>always lived in Ehime. It's a common misunderstanding that people have when<br>they see the name of the site. I should have called it "Rocking on<br>Hakatajima" to avoid the problem - but to be honest, I wasn't aware of the<br>Kyushu Hakata (which is way more famous) when I created the site. Sigh.<br>Anyhoo - hope that helps.<br><br>Btw - I can tell you that transfers between prefectures are exceedingly<br>rare, and even transfers inside a given prefecture may not be easy to do at<br>all. It all depends on the reason for the transfer, and whose idea it was in<br>the first place. Long story short, don't count on it as a for sure option -<br>it's not. Does that make sense? If you come, you should give it 100% of your<br>effort to live it up in the area where you're placed. It will be a great<br>experience. Hope you get good news soon!

Anyhoo – hope that helps.

Btw – I can tell you that transfers between prefectures are exceedingly
rare, and even transfers inside a given prefecture may not be easy to do at
all. It all depends on the reason for the transfer, and whose idea it was in
the first place. Long story short, don't count on it as a for sure option -
it's not. Does that make sense? If you come, you should give it 100% of your
effort to live it up in the area where you're placed. It will be a great
experience. Hope you get good news soon!

I've enjoyed your site off and on the past few years and I've noticed that you've changed locations, from Kyushu (I think) to Ehime. I'm currently waiting to hear if I've been accepted to JET, and was wondering how easy it is to change locations during your tenure. Is it a frowned-upon process or is it common? Thank you.

Had it made for me in Vietnam over winter break. Also - I accidentally left out the example - the reporter specifically mentioned Wikitravel, though I also mentioned Wikipedia (the behemoth of all wiki sites). I'll add that now. Thanks!
