    Hi! I've been scrounging RUclips to find current jets, as I'm interested in applying for the program next month, & I have enjoyed watching your experience. I was wondering if you're currently taking requests or if you have a patreon to possibly review my SOP? Totally okay if not, but if you have any additional tips for the application process, I would love to hear about it. Thank you!

      Hello! For me, yes. The exchange rate to South African Rand is quite favorable right now. I know some American friends who are not too happy right now :(
      But relatively, in Japan, you can live well off the JET salary!
