The “Trauma” Issue

Why a “Trauma” issue? Well, because not everything on JET or in our lives is rosy and heartwarming, so sometimes it’s important to acknowledge and examine the less comfortable side of life. (Plus, shoujiki ni itte, it makes for much better stories.)

That said, I don’t want you should have a nervous breakdown, so we’ve made sure to also include the usual fun stuff, like JETAANY Society, the Top 10 and Japanese theatre and DVD reviews. Speaking of which, make sure to read the article about the JET alum who produces travel videos for children with his wife. Traveling the world with two small children — now that’s trauma.

Ultimately, of course, it’s about finding a good balance and keeping things in perspective. And hopefully that’s what we’ve done for you in this issue. So sit back, enjoy and, most importantly, don’t panic.
