		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s been 6 months since I came home from Japan. It&#8217;s probably safe now to announce the semi-obvious: yes, I worked for NOVA. I didn&#8217;t have a pleasant time. This wasn&#8217;t because of the students, I might add. I had a great time getting to know them and befriending them, and I still keep in [...]]]></description>

Teacher: &#8220;What do you like to do in your free time?&#8221;
Student: &#8220;I play with my girlfriend&#8221;

		<description><![CDATA[There are a lot of horror stories out there about things that big, bad eikaiwa and other Japanese employers have done to unsuspecting gaijin. You hear about court cases, unfair dismissals, failure to get paid for months. For those reasons, a union has been set up to help workers deal with their employers.

The interface is non-branded (ie: your URL could be &#8220;bobsenglish.liveschedule.net&#8221; and can be changed from English to Japanese and back at [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One strange thing I&#8217;ve noticed about some students is that they take on accents when speaking English. The most common is American accents. It&#8217;s not that surprising, given that most of the English they encounter is American English - on television, in music, from their teachers or the many American (mainly military-based) people iving in [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Summer in Japan is a dead time, as far as getting an English-teaching job is concerned. I&#8217;m not enirely sure why, but I guess it&#8217;s because many students disappear for their summer holidays. Some schools, like NOVA actually sell them travel packages and homestay trips, where they can practise their newly-acquired English skills in an [...]]]></description>

Thankfully it hasn&#8217;t happened to me, [...]]]></description>
