Marine Day is a national holiday in Japan that celebrates the ocean and maritime activities. The holiday was first designated to celebrate the Meiji Emperor and the sailing of his iron steamship, the Meiji Maru, but has evolved into a day to spend time with friends and families at the beach, on a boat, or visiting an aquarium. To celebrate Marine Day, we would love to know. . . What is your favorite beach in Japan? ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー Follow @USJETAA for insight into the JET alumni community in the US, news about upcoming events, and interesting stories coming out of Japan.

A departing JET wants to know: Is there any problem with having friends come and visit for awhile? "I’ve lived in small town America where its somewhat suspicious to have a guy stay at your place when you’re not married. To your knowledge would I face any criticism if my boyfriend came and stayed with me for awhile?" Have you had friends, family, or significant others stay with you while you were a JET? ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー Follow @USJETAA for insight into the JET alumni community in the US, news about upcoming events, and interesting stories coming out of Japan.
