aeon (thing)

A conversational English school or Eikawa in Japan. Widely believed to be a slightly better opportunity for foreigners than NOVA because:

• The pay is better
• The housing is cheaper
• You get Sundays off
• You get slightly more vacation time
• Your lunchbreak is longer
• You get your own classroom to decorate and store materials, as opposed to the madhouse which is the NOVA staffroom
• You are allowed to socialize with the students outside of class

In my opinion the disadvantages to NOVA are:

• You have to pay for company housing even if you don't want it
• Most of the other teachers are Japanese so you don't get to know others in the same boat as you
• The company is not associated with any cute icon, such as NOVA usagi
