I got feedback from my students. I have room for improvement and want to take their criticism constructively. I am not perfect as a teacher. I just started teaching about two years ago so I have ways to go before I can say I am experienced. I am happy overall with teaching.

I also had some trouble with an internet company but settled the dispute by saying I would pay the amount it requested even though it was a substantial amount. The companies here in Japan sometimes target foreigners and rip them off. I also went to a local doctor here and he charged me 7 times as much as the usual charge for medicine and his service. I was shocked but paid and vowed to never go back. I am dismayed by some businesses here because of these experiences. But, it can happen anywhere. I just have to be cautious and take my business elsewhere.

Japan seems like a decent country. I like it here overall. But, being ripped off because I am a foreigner is what makes Japan at times no different than any other country which preys on the vulnerable.
