English teacher chat might better be corralled into this thread. As far as I know the OP is still relevant.

Literally everything in this film is still true. The Japanese are basically the same. Foreigners, try not to be a huge loving douche (copyright 1957) Everyone gets to have fun and perhaps sexy times.

VelociBacon posted:How exactly do you get access to your money in Japan if you're not wanting to pull it from your credit card (thus incurring immediate interest hits) and would rather pull it from your bank? Do people just set up an account with a bank which has branches there? It's a silly small practical question with a likely obvious answer but everywhere I'm reading about this people are just saying to use the 7/11 ATMs with a credit card which is an instant 17% surcharge. Walk around with thousands of dollars in your pocket and don't worry about all that bullshit. Always worked for me. Gabriel Grub fucked around with this message at 19:29 on Mar 26, 2016 |

The biggest problem I see is the short term of stay. It seems that most leases are for two years. So at 18 months they might be stuck in a monthly or with one of the gaijin specialty agencies.

You should also take into account the freedom of the pass to hop onto whatever train whenever you need to.

You spend a couple years, in the US, getting certified, and then a couple more years getting experience so you can apply for the international schools in Japan. And by then it's Kanye's America.

I assume it's a little Michelin starred place? They don't want people reserving from abroad and then not showing up and blowing their revenue for the night. A legit luxury hotel will take care of it for you. Failing that you need a local contact.

You need to check out with the city office where your residence is registered, because they're going to want their local inhabitants tax. If you don't square that away it could be an issue for future visas.

Seems good to weigh also that in addition to Shinkansen stuff, the JR Pass lets you get on any local train any time you want without buying tickets or keeping a IC card charged. It is very convenient and could be the difference between making your train or not. The convenience alone makes it worth it to me even if the cost of trains doesn't quite meet the price of the pass.

That's right. Outside of Tokyo and Osaka I've never dealt with many non-JR trains. Depends on your itinerary.

Caberham made Tokyo goons walk past 9,000 bars in search of one specific forgettable microbrew place. It had nothing to do with Shibuya and everything to do with the absurdity of looking for a place to have a beer in Tokyo. You can drink anything within five minutes in Tokyo; you insisted in making that an ordeal.

I requested Okayama and got it. Putting Tokyo, Osaka, or Kyoto is pretty much the same as leaving the request section blank. If you actually research somewhere rural you would like to be placed and request it there is a good chance it will be taken seriously. The vast majority of JET placements are rural, so prepare yourself for that and make some realistic requests if there is somewhere outside the big cities you might actually want to live. The people at the consulate definitely don't pay attention to your requests because they don't do placements, just organize the interviews. Your board of education picks you from the pool of people who got good enough scores from the interviews. Anything in the application, including your placement requests, are fair game though. So lesser known rural town, probably good. (That's interesting, tell us why you are interested in this place.) Tokyo, probably get a skeptical response. (Everyone asks for Tokyo. Will you decline an offer in the likely event you are not place there?)

I live next to an apartment building-based AirBnB that got shut down. Foreigners live in this neighborhood; that is not the problem. Being forced to share a building with tourists treating it like a hotel is the problem. No one would knowingly sign a lease under those conditions.

Uh, if you never canceled your visa, you have a big tax bill waiting for you. E: I guess it’s possible you reported your departure with your city office and settled up with them, but then didn’t surrender your residence card at immigration for some reason.

The big problem with Japan is they are too explicit in making people agree to revolving credit arrangements when the correct way to do things is have a college drop out swipe a piece of plastic to make ends meet until something forcibly stops them.

Original_Z posted:Fuji-Q is almost impressive at how poorly it is run. You'll see a line that would be 30 minutes at a normal theme park have a queue time of 2 hours minimum. It's just so poorly run, they'll send cars out without trying to fill out single seats, and the boarding and unboarding takes an unnecessarily long time since you have to wait for the people to disembark, take the stuff from the storage lockers, leave the platform, then see the next group put their stuff in the lockers, and then be put in. It's absurd, and from what I remember they only run one car at a time. Even on weekdays during non-busy seasons you'd better be prepared to pay for fastpass tickets or you'll never be able to ride everything you want to. Japanese people. LOVE. QUEUING.

There is no doubt that these maricar companies are counting down to the day that they wipe out a pedestrian, or get wiped out by a truck because they are invisible to trucks. Wow, how can you oppose having some fun in Shibuya, the transit hub where millions of people have to commute and do business every day? It's the heart of a city, not a theme park. This poo poo is going to correct, probably after some people get hurt. I'm just a bitter gaijin though.
