Want to look after our website?
We're searching for a new webmaster, so if anyone's interested, please contact us (enquiries@mujc.org.au).
You'll need to have basic html skills, be computer literate, be able to respond to requests to put information on the website at short notice, be a club member, etc. If you want to look after our Japanese language website as well, an intermediate level of Japanese would be good (e.g. equivalent to JLPT3) and an advanced level of Japanese would be even better (JLPT2 or JLPT1).

Travel Seminar notes and websites
For those of you who came to our travel seminar, information, notes and useful websites can be accessed from the two links below. Note that the two files are almost exactly the same as last year, so please forgive us if they're full of mistakes/old info.

THE JAPANESE FILM FESTIVAL
This year, the Japanese Film Festival (JFF) celebrates its 12th year in Sydney with an exciting new addition. For the first time in festival history, Melbourne will experience their own serving of 13 quality films over five fantastic days of entertainment and culture. The JFF is a collection of hand-selected films consisting of different genres of both major productions and independent works.
