Nova files for bankruptcy with debt of ¥43.9 billion
If you're thinking about going to teach English in Japan, don't even think about working for Nova anymore. I worked for them for a year and a half, in Osaka and Tokyo, and had a great experience. Unfortunately for Nova's customers and employees, the company's hardball techniques have caught up with them.
Thanks to my man in Japan, EvenMe for the link.
Japanese Lifestyle Magazine Tokyocube
The Linkjockey used to live and teach English in Japan. There's so much going on in Japan in terms of art, design, travel and style that just isn't replicated anywhere else.
I miss Muji, The Loft and going to shopping. I miss keeping up with the latest 5-minute trends. I miss experiential restaurants and the best creepy children's toys for adults. But all is not lost, and I can still track a few of these things through Tokyocube.
Tokyocube brings a lot of these elements together in their very stylish online magazine.
