Hi Everyone
I have always wanted to visit Japan, and i think its a wonderful place. As a "bright eyed" first time visitor to Japan and my extensive surfing on the Internet many concerns, i have found i feel need to be addressed and hopefully you can all help me.
How much Japanese do you actually need to know to get by as a Tourist? (Likewise, how much do you need to know if you actually lived there?)
What is it like getting through the Airports, most importantly, *Narita*, *Kansai* and Haneda? Are the facilities there good enough for your average Tourist?
What happens if you do get lost? And is it easy to get lost? How much Japanese do you need to know to ask for help, would you need to know much Hiragana or Kanji to be able to get around. And could you rely on any Japanese people if you, indeed, did not speak much Japanese.
What is it like trying to order in a Resteraunt especially one that is not westernised or any other similar situation. Do you need to now much Japanese, especially if you are not in a resteraunt in Tokyo, for example Kyoto or Kamakura.
What is the public transport Like and how would the experience of Travelling from Narita to Kamakura and Kansai To Kyoto be? How easy is to get tickets without a Japan Rail Pass. Are the Ticket collecters nice ?
If you are going to live there, what Qualifications do you need to get a Job in a Japanese or western corporate company, dealing with I.T or anything associated, that would have a decent pay? How would you get into working with TV, editing, dubbing, translating etcetc.?
How welcoming are the Japanese, especially if you are going to Live there. How easy is it to get Housing, TV, electricity, water, basic amenities?
And, Finally How is Japan for you? How did you find settling in, you job there, new friends and such, and what you can do in Japan and what it is entertaining there.
...and if you have any more information, it would be more than welcome.
Thankyou so Much!
