Show us your best photos of Japan to be considered for inclusion in an exhibit of JET Photos of Japan which will be shown in Logan Airport's Terminal E in the coming month. The exhibit will be part of a larger display encouraging people to visit Japan as the non-stop Boston-Narita service begins this spring.

To enter, upload your picture here: http://bostonjapanexhibit.shutterfly.com/ (you have to set up a free account first.)

As the photos will be enlarged, the higher the resolution, the better!

Don't forget to follow the instructions to add resolution info to your picture after uploading.

Have photos that are pre-digital? Email me to discuss: s dot gill at cgjbos dot org

DEADLINE for entries: Sunday, February 5 at 11:59pm.

Once again we will be offering JET alumni the chance to sign up for Japanese language classes! This is a great opportunity whether it's to polish up your Japanese language skills or keep you on track for studying for the next Japanese Language Proficiency Test (JLPT) in December. These classes are provided for JET alumni members only. 

Classes are available for beginner, intermediate, and advanced levels and will be small groups with a Japanese language teacher. Sessions will be held in the evenings (either Sunday, Tuesday, Thursday, or Friday) once a week for about an hour at a location in the Boston area that will be public transportation accessible. Two years ago classes were held at the Boston Public Library but location may change this year. Costs are still being determined as it will depend on the number of people who sign up, but NEJETAA will be able to help off-set some of the costs to make it more affordable for members! The total cost for classes must be made on the first day of class or in advance.... more details to follow.

Please fill out the form with your Japanese language level and availability.

***Please complete by 6PM ON THURSDAY JAN. 26, 2012*** We'll be in touch with you soon after to confirm dates and costs.

If you have any questions please use the space at the very bottom of the form to submit them to us. 

If you experience any technical difficulties, please email Christina at webmaster at nejetaa dot com
