Any other former JETs lurk this subreddit?

It’s been almost 5 years since I left JET after 4 years living there. I left right before COVID hit, which was good timing as it allowed me to get a job before all the craziness. I can’t help but think about how they were perhaps some of the best years of my life. A new ramen shop opened up near my home with an actual Japanese owner from the same prefecture I lived in and it brought me back to all the adventures I had. I miss all the weekend events, affordable healthy food, and kind Japanese friends I made along the way!

My life is definitely good now, but man do I miss the adventure that was JET and wish I could relive it all over again (while retaining the language acquisition but having it from the beginning..lol).
