		<title>Tsukiji &#8211; The Best Sushi in the World</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When asked to name words associated with Japan, ‘fish’, ‘sushi’, or even ‘sashimi’ are likely to make most people’s top 10 list. If you are like me, and love seafood, there is probably no better place than Tsukiji Fish Market to indulge in the freshest, most delicious, mouth-watering, and BEST sushi in the world.
The biggest attraction at Tsukiji Fish Market is probably the tuna auction. However, be prepared: A visit takes dedication! The tuna auction starts in the wee hours at 5am, meaning you must drag yourself up at 3 ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Suffering separation anxiety when parted from your kotatsu? Sub-zero apartments and icy bike rides to school mean Gunma’s cold is already biting. Without wanting to sound like a doom-monger, the worst of the winter is yet to come! Meet the cold head-on and make your pad a hot-haven…
Bubble wrap your windows

Bubble wrapping your windows will give you instant double glazing. Bubble-up to keep the cold out and your precious warmth in. Wrap with smaller bubbles will be more effective as the bubbles are packed together more tightly than those on a larger ...]]></description>

		<title>Let&#8217;s Fishing!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
The thought of catching your dinner before you eat might sound a bit like hard work. But for a truly unique, and crazily Japanese experience, there’s a lively restaurant where you catch it, cook it and eat it.
Zauo is a Tokyo izakaya with a difference. This ‘restaurant’ is the shape of a large wooden boat, with diners placed on chunky benches all along the port and starboard sides. A sea pool surrounds the boat, and it’s from there that you can catch your dinner.
A couple of floors up in the ...]]></description>

		<title>Gunma Study Games</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Whether you&#8217;re working towards the JLPT or you&#8217;re just starting out with Japanese, the Gunma Study Games are here to help you level-up. Jen Hammer is organising the events and explains what they&#8217;re all about&#8230;
Q: Can you tell us a bit about the Study Games, Jen?
A: Sure. A lot of us are studying for the JLPT exams and I thought a study group would be helpful.
Q: Why only once a month? If people are studying, isn’t every week better?
A: Well, people study differently and at different paces. Also, sometimes life ...]]></description>

		<title>Minakami’s Artisan Village</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
If you have yet to make a trip up into the mountains of Minakami for an art-filled day, slap it near the top of your Gunma bucket list. Takumi-no-sato (たくみの里) is an entire village filled with far too many hands-on traditional Japanese art workshops to even consider doing every one in a day.
Start your visit at the Information Center and pick-up an English guide and map. Sip some local drinking yogurt and decide what workshop you want to choose first. Once you head out into the village, it can be ...]]></description>

		<title>To re-appoint or not&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The decision to stay on JET or to move on to a different adventure is a tough one, and should not be made lightly.
As promised at the SDC (Skills Development Conference), here are the &#8220;experience checklists.&#8221; These are by now way complete lists and were subject to the editor&#8217;s opinion (that&#8217;s me).  Please feel free to add your own/cross some off.  The purpose of the lists are to give you a picture of some things to see/do while here in Gunma and Japan, and help make your JET experience a ...]]></description>
