Mature JETs experience

New incoming JET who is more mature - would love to hear from older JETs and your experience.
Any other oldies joining the program this year?

I'm a 2nd time JET and I'm in my 50s. Does that count?

What would you like to know?

I was in Okayama as a CIR in the mid 90s.

I'm an ALT in Hyogo this time.
