Young people in America often hear about jobs teaching English in Japan,
and ask advice about what it is like to live in Japan.  What should they
bring, will their electric things work here or should they buy all
new gadgets when they get here, and so on.  I was recently asked how you
applied for jobs by email in Japan, too.  I'm sure most of the other
expats have heard the questions, and I suspect everyone can imagine what
kind of questions you might ask when thinking of living several years in
a foreign country.

As usual, I'm asking for your opinions or help.  What kind of advice do
you think will help people who are thinking of living in Japan?  What
was the most helpful advice you got before coming (especially if you are
a recent "import":-)?  What is the *least* helpful advice you got?  What
advice do you wish someone had given you that you never got?

Post to the list, please.  If you send directly to me, I'll try to
summarize and repost, but I think it's easier to keep straight if most
of the messages are public.

BTW - since I didn't come over via this English Teaching route, any
comments on that?  Feel free to mail me directly on this - I read all my
mail, although it may take a few days for me to respond.  I've got a
relative and another friend in America who are both looking at coming
over to teach English, and I don't know if that's good or bad.

thanks

One successful experiment is the joke below
which I enjoyed very much when I heard it from a respectable American,
and many Japanese also did then.
It is good because it is a story of a long time ago,
and it has the least chance to hurt anybody.

One day in Roman Era,
a chief of a galley announced to the galley slaves,
"I have a good news and a bad news for you.
The good news is
that you have big stakes for dinner today."
The slaves yelled, "yea!"
Then the chief said,
"The bad news is
that the captain wants to water-ski tomorrow."

Thanks for setting straight any mistaken stereotypes we might have had

Originator: waynelui@nttioe

Wonder why there seems to be no ordinary light bulb  that's  over
100W  in  Japan.   (500W  ones  are common place in the US.) I've
searched Tokyu Hands too.  They may have  hundreds  of  different
kinds  of  bulbs,  but  none  of them is over 100W.  (Concerns of
catching fire?)  Not only ordinary light bulbs, I also can't find
any halide bulbs that is over 20W.  Wonder if anyone has the same
problem.

I haven't searched Akihabara yet, although the last  time  I  was
there,  at  least  Yamagiwa was pushing a new sort of lamp that's
supposed to be the most "natural" light  source  on  earth.   The
price  tag of Y40K is a bit out of this world (if not outrageous)
though.

Basically, fluorescent lights are giving me the creeps.   Looking
for a "warmer" source of light...

If Ross Perot had been elected president, no doubt you would have been
forced to.

But after the way Kaifu coughed up 10 Billion for a three day war, you
have to admit that the joke's on you...

I am happy to know you enjoy that.

If I knew you, foreign guests, were so thirsty of humors,
I would had informed you the Toastmasters Humorous Speech Contest
held at the Yokosuka Navy Base last month.
Nine contestants gave very humorous seven-minute speeches.

I will announce Toastmasters events next time.

I believe it is quite all right to announce Toastmasters events,
here in fj.life.in-japan,
because:
(1) the events will help foreigners make their lives humorous,
(2) the events will provide another nice communication channel for
    both foreigners and Japanese,
and
(3) Toastmasters International is a non-profit educational organization.

Any comments?

Chosei> 1) Da para usar o cartao la'? (Visa ou Mastercard)

Sim. Da' para usar. Eu usei o meu cartao enquanto estive no Brasil,
porem foi um saco. No shopping-center demoravam um tempo para 
confirmar o cartao. Mas consegui comprar o que queria. 

Chosei> 2) Para fazer o cartao, preciso de Hoshonin. Como sou estudante bolsist

Isto so' voce vai poder resolver. Voce nao tem outro amigo que trabalha? 
Pelo que saiba qualquer pessoa que trabalha pode ser.
Outro detalhe: Nao e' so' porque forneceu tudo que eles vao te dar o 
Cartao. Eu ja' fui recusado e olha que trabalho... E' melhor nao falar
que quer usar o cartao no Brasil... (APenas uma opiniao minha).

ciao
