This is awkward; but, I would like to post this anyway because there are many people on this forum who were in Japan or are in Japan. After more than 13 years out of Japan, I am going back to Japan from USA in a month or so (I have to resign from my company without alienating them so that I can keep the door open for the possible job opportunity with its Japanese branches as a last resort in case my current multiple leads fail, which I hope does not happen as I have great experience in sales/marketing/international trade in bilingual environment).
Since I have my parents still living, I am lucky to have a shelter during this transition. I have so many things to do as soon as I hit the Japanese soil, such as getting a Japanese driver's license from my NY or NJ driver license, getting a cell phone, setting up a WiFi at home, visiting the head hunters I have been corresponding already via email, finally going for job interviews (which I had to put on hold because I am still here), visiting relatives (I hope they don't ask me if I can still use chopsticks), take some good pictures of Kyoto and Nara (I picked up photography as a hobby in USA, along with Photoshop and the rest of Adobe CS2 skills), and the lists goes on and on......
Time passes by so quickly.......
Even though I think I would be better positioned than other non Japanese who took a plunge into Japan (simply because I am a Japanese national), I thought it does not hurt to ask the forum members any advise or suggestion for an expatriate going back to the home country after so many years. I hope I don't be considered as a foreigner when I go home.
