  Anyone on QBN live in Tokyo? I'm trying to get a job there, though I've never been.

  What are some of your favorite/least favorite things about the city?

  Tokyo is over rated.

  Plenty of nicer places to go in japan!

  Tokyo is just TOO big, I mean its basically a heap of cities that have eaten each other up..it is the quintessential definition of a rat race lol.

  Also don't count on getting a good job without some impressive japanese skills unless you plan to work for a company that works/speaks in english.

  The easiest job to get is as an english teacher, and generally the ones who arent in the big cities have the best time. People are also a lot nicer out in the "real" part of japan :)

  Don't try Kyoto, the locals generally hate foreigners haha

  Good luck ^^

  • even if you did that (english teacher) they will only let you live there for so long– akoni1/2

    Yeah japan doesnt like foreigners staying haha. Only way in is to get a corporate sponsored visa or marry someone :)– tOki2/2

  What's the work hours there out of interest?

  I've been there on holiday 3 times and am also considering working there maybe possibly.

  • Depends on the company. It's not that likely you'd be working for a Japanese one - but even if you would, you'ld be cut at least a little slack. Since, you know, you're a stinky ravaging barbarian just like me.– PeterH1/2

  My Japanese friends don't like hire Gaijin.
  Best most of them are just untalented.
