Considering teaching english in Japan, currently living in NYC. Reading a
lot of good things about AEON (at least compared to other eikaiwa) and I've
also seen one excellent post for ECC. my goals - learn to teach english,
DEFINITELY learn japanese, have the flexibility to socialize w/whomever i
please as i hear plenty about stipulations in some teaching contracts where
you can't interact w/ students, sample some martial arts & continue
expanding photography interest. Am I unrealistic in hoping that I can
EVENTUALLY (I'm sure getting settled takes a few months) get my arms around
the whole day-to-day of teaching english there to the pt. of being able to
pursue most or all of these things?

Any updated advice (everything I see is from 2002 or earlier) on who's best
to apply to here and now, what to expect, etcetera
oh and my stats: 30y.o. white guy, no TEFL training but a BA in English.
Thanks in advance,
Matt
