Hey sladewalters what do you do/work for in Japan? Other than teaching, i wanted to do business there.

[sladewalters]

@mikesoccer11 - actually, I lived in Japan for two years, but I left about two years ago. When I lived there I worked for the U.S. Government, so I had a special visa.

Sladewalters I have a question, I'm in college now but I was considering getting a job in Japan after I graduate. If that is remotely possible, how would I get around or even find my apartment or work with my co-workers if I can't speak/read Japanese fluently?

[sladewalters]

You're best bet for getting a job in Japan is teaching English for one of the English teaching schools that seek out native speakers and provide employment and a work visa for a year. The pay isn't great.

I went to Japan last year without knowing a simple Japanese word... I spent there two weeks, visiting Tokyo, Osaka, Kamakura, Kyoto, Nara... You don't have to learn Japanese. Almost all signs are in English too. I've started to learn Japanese now :)

Osaka is one of my favorite cities.
