Yesterday the flight info for all of the UK JETs went up online. We all fly from London, Heathrow to Tokyo, Narita with British Airways (BA), Virgin Atlantic (VS) and Japan Airlines (JAL). I'm going to be on the VS flight.
This has led to a re-think of what I'm taking with me and what I'm sending ahead. All very taxing and tedious but it'll all be done soon enough.

I'm flying economy but I hear VS have free unlimited snacks. Hope it's true but I bet it isn't -_-
Us UK JET's have set up a closed group on facebook, which is a nice thing to be a part of. I like having all these people from home so easily accessible and I'm pretty sure it'll be one of many life-lines that'll keep me sane in Japan when I'm feeling isolated or lonely. Lord knows I'll probably feel that way at least once :S One of the perks of culture shock, I guess. Shrug.
Right now, I'm putting away all the JET stuff I made and received when going through the application process. My personal statement, the postcard they sent back, invitation to an interview, the congratulatory letter, stating that I'd passed the 2nd stage of the screening process and needed to send of a mesh of paperwork before officially being offered a placement on the JET Programme... Ah, happy memories.
Ooh! The Brunel stuff... See next Blog "London Orientation" ^_^
