    I think the Cambridge CELTA office is in Kobe, isn't it? They hold courses there as far as I understand. I don't know if it's something you can do part time, or you need to be there for the full month or so. Have you tried the British Council? They might have courses. You can do CELTA online as well.

    Where can I do it online? I ahve never seen it offered online. I contacted Kobe, they said I would have to come to their site. That is not convenient at all.

    Yea, it looks like I stand corrected. I've seen online options but non of them seem to be available from Japan. According to these people - http://language-resources.co.jp/teachers/ - the Kobe is the only approved center for CELTA in Japan. I find that hard to believe, to be honest.

    First check the CELTA website: http://www.cambridgeenglish.org/teaching-english/teaching-qualifications/celta/, and also take a look at this article: https://www.city-cost.com/blogs/helloalissa/wroRM-living_money_education What is your reason for wanting CELTA certification at this point? Are you hoping to level up in your job/qualify for something specific? I rarely see CELTA requested for jobs in Japan. If you're thinking about teaching ESL elsewhere, it might be useful. I haven't done it, but know it's a full time month long program and costs over 200,000 yen. It's also of better quality than a TESOL certificate because of the required observations and feedback. I heard that part is super helpful... but you already have a lot of experience.

Anyone else getting a database error after you log in? So far, it looks like I can still write posts, but I had trouble logging in and after log in my home page looks different to normal with a "database error" message.

Condiments in your fridge?

Just for fun! I was thinking the other day how different the contents of my fridge are to the fridge I grew up with! Just one example, I always have soy sauce in my fridge and usually at least one other unopened bottle in the cupboard. There was never soy sauce in my fridge growing up. And the friends I grew up with don't have soy sauce in their fridges even now. But my Uni friends all have soy sauce in their fridges, because they all lived in Japan for at least a year. I was just wondering what things do you have in your fridge here that you probably wouldn't have in your fridge in your home country had you never lived here.

Moving house process

I've been in my apartment for nearly 7 years. I've got my eye on an apartment one station closer to work. But I forgot what it was like to move in here! It was all a bit traumatic... Have you got some packing tips, suggestions for how to move your household goods, and what to save for last?

Golden Week 2025 plans?

This year's Golden Week gives us Tuesday, April 29th, and then potentially a four-day weekend from May 3rd to 6th. How are you intending to spend the break? Will you travel, "staycation", or dare I ask, work through it?
