Before you "sign up" with anyone, you should take a look at the current
issue of O-Hayo Sensei: The Newsletter of (Teaching) Jobs in Japan. In
addition to reporting over 100 currently available teaching
alternatives to GEOS and NOVA, you can peruse the listings to get a
feel for exactly what accommodations are being offered, and at exactly
what price. A search on the word "accommodation" will turn up quite a
range of offers and rents -- you may be surprized at what schools are
offering. Don't "sign up" with anyone without researching what's really
out there. The easiest way to pick up the current issue is probably via
ftp at ftp://ftp.ohayosensei.com/current.txt
(save the file to your hard drive, and then open it with your favorite
word processor).
