Hello everyone! Thanks for watching this video! As of August 2023, I'm no longer an ALT with the JET Program (I left on good terms!). I won't be responding to comments on this video anymore, but you can still connect with me on Instagram @chelseav_jp Thanks for supporting this channel the past 2 years, it was fun creating videos about being an ALT!

@chelseav 2 года назад

hope you enjoy this chatty video! it's a long one, but timestamps are in the description for you to skip around to take what you need~ let me know if you have questions or suggestions! stay safe 💕

@Paigeee343 2 года назад

glad you're making videos again! I'm applying for Jet next year to come over with my family, so I'd love to see vlogs of your daily life as an alt or even adventures you go on in Japan. Keep up the good work ☺️

@audreydoesjapan Год назад

I am going to be a Kagoshima JET in the fall and your videos are so helpful! I am so stressed for what to pack, but you are calming many of my fears. Thank you!

Love your videos! Tita.

@Pip45274 2 года назад

This was so great! Could you possibly do a video on teaching techniques and activities you do with the students? Thanks!

@chelseav 2 года назад

thats a great idea! i'll brainstorm about it

@tanyamassey9438 2 года назад

Great job

@victornguyen2967 2 года назад

Hey Chelsea! I haven't gotten through all your videos yet but really glad to see you doing well 🙌 (minus the peanut episode 😬). Would be cool to hear about other important healthcare or medication differences, or even social differences we'd do well to be aware of before visiting for the first time 😊

@chelseav 2 года назад

ah those are great ideas!! thanks for watching 😊

@kiwi8133 2 года назад

thanks for the video! it's so interesting to hear about other people's experiences on the JET program because as we all know, esid :-) I personally found that I brought way too many casual clothes that I dont really have a chance to wear/feel comfortable wearing because my students all live relatively close to me 😅 would definitely pack more business casual if I had to do it over again. and more indoor shoes. :/

@chelseav 2 года назад

yes i feel you! i was not expecting to have 3-4 pairs of shoes for school

@josephjeon804 2 года назад

Fire video man I think itd be cool if u could talk bout ur day as ALT and wat they expect u to do there + ur role in a classroom. Also i think many ppl go ALT to travel in japan so maybe a vid on how much free time u get in a week of ALT could be gud too

@chelseav 2 года назад

great ideas! thanks for the suggestions

@MsJustKeepSmiling 2 года назад

@@chelseav I second this! I am also curious about what your schedule looks like split between the different schools and the dress expectations for ALTs. Another thought: what is your social life like? Are you mostly friends with other ALTs? How did you meet them/ get to know them? Etc Great video by the way :)

@eviltech25 Год назад

I would like to see restaurants that you love to go. I will be visiting Japan next year.

@backintheclay 2 года назад

Hi Chelsea, your video was on my recommended, I did enjoy it. In addition you are in one of my favorite places in Japan, Kagoshima! I hope you ae able to enjoy Kagoshima. Since, I only travel in the summer, here are some things you might enjoy Sakurajima Matsuri/Hanabi, MBC Matsuri, the fire burning umbrellas by the river event, the shave ice shop between Tenmonkan and Dolphin Port, real long lines in summer, also the Mikoshi festivals on the main street by Tenmonkan. Hiking Shiroyama, Outdoor onsen/spa at the Shiroyama Hotel (Free points card at Concierge gets you half price on all day spa/onsen pass) BTW free shuttle to Shiroyama Hotel from Rear of Kagoshima Chuo JR Station. cheers! Clayton from LA BTW, it's real hot and humid, I lose weight there in the summer.

@chelseav 2 года назад

wow thank you for the recommendations! i hope i can check them out soon

Hi! Aspiring JET here for next year. I like your suitcases! Where did you get them? Awesome videos! :)

@chelseav 2 года назад

they're from samsonite! i got them at an outlet store, but you can find them online too!

@user-hg6ni8eh8s 2 года назад

yay

@scoutofthewoods 2 года назад

thanks for this video!! im moving to kagoshima in a few months so the info about clothes and weather was especially useful. sad that the only climbing gym isn't super accessible 😭 but i hear there's a lot of walking areas around, so im looking forwards to that!! p.s. 8 schools holy smokes!! do you have any advice on how you handle so many different classes? would be a really useful video :3c !!

@chelseav 2 года назад

welcome to kagoshima! its really beautiful here :) and yes, i have plans to make a video about teaching as an ALT!

@scoutofthewoods 2 года назад

@@chelseav ty for the welcome!! im lookin forward to your next videos!!

@nmusiq 2 года назад

Thats was super helpful, i will be moving as a student later this year. What suitcases did you buy yours look really good? Could you please link them if possible? Thank you!

@chelseav 2 года назад

hope you move goes smoothly! my suitcases are the samsonite freeforms, i'll link them in the description for you!

@kaylabenjamin1 2 года назад

this is really helpful! thank you so much for going through this again and reacting 😭 if you don't mind me asking, did you have to tape any of the toiletries you brought? i'm probably going to bring spray deodorant and things like that and i'm not sure if they'll open during the flight i also hope you're able to find peter! lol

@chelseav 2 года назад

thanks for watching! i did pack bottles that i thought could leak into a ziploc bag, but thankfully nothing exploded during the flight

@kjohnson7988 Год назад

This is such a helpful video! I'm considering buying a Switch and I'll need a new laptop this year. Do you recommend buying them in the US before I leave or once I get to Japan. Is there any difference in compatibility?

@chelseav Год назад

im not sure what the differences would be, you may have to research that on your own!

@simplytina710 Год назад

You are a pretty girl especially when you smile 😊.

@bobfranklin2572 2 года назад

Thule subterra gang 😎. Jokes aside this was pretty useful. When I watched your original video, I though that the 3 backpacks were excessive. Would you say it was worth it?

@chelseav 2 года назад

thank you for watching! i use my backpack for school everyday, the sling for running errands and day trips, and the thule bag for weekend trips. i use them all pretty often and it works for my lifestyle

@kjohnson7988 Год назад

Do you know ALTs who had friends or family back home ship items (maybe clothes, winter coats) that didn't fit in their suitcase? Any idea how expensive that is or what to consider if I'm thinking of going that route?

@chelseav Год назад

thats's definitely a common practice! the few things i've shipped or sent to me internationally was about $100 in shipping for medium sized packages. i recommend really thinking about what's essential for you, as most things can be bought here in japan

@kjohnson7988 Год назад

@@chelseav Thanks for all your responses, Chelsea! I've heard that it can be hard to find shoes for people with large feet in Japan. I've encountered that when renting boots skiing in Japan. Maybe I'll consider shipping my shoes that don't fit in my suitcase, just so I don't have to worry about those, but try to get most other things in Japan
