Maybe I’m stupid…. but is there any place to actually write here?
I see some useful guides and stuff, but I got to this site searching for Ibaraki JETs FORUM. Is there any forum?
Everyone says this is the place to go for information…. but I don’t see where the 2011 information is.

Hello. I’m afraid to say that the forum was under-used and under-loved and so to save on costs we took it down.
All information here is up-to-date and relevant, unless marked otherwise. And we are working on updating those.
The guide you receive from your predecessor should have everything you need to know about living in your area. However, if there is certain information you desire you are also free to comment here and I will try to answer; I check here regularly.
If you have a Facebook account, you can find the Ibaraki JETs group and ask whatever you want. Most Ibaraki JETs are there and happy to talk.
