Jobs in TokyoI believe it does depend on your nationality/company. I know for a fact that US citizens cannot apply for and receive a working visa without a company in Japan sponsoring you. Australians on the other hand can apply for one (I think it's valid for 3...
Jobs in TokyoWas looking forward to another job posting, but sadly, I'm not a hardcore programmer :/. Can do most of what's listed, but it's just not my passion. If you have anything in the management field or consulting in things like innovation economics, cultu...
A Week in Tokyo 46Always enjoy your "Week in Tokyo" posts. Glad to hear of how well you're doing and the people you're meeting :)! Your pictures of food always make me hungry though... Miss the food in Japan.
MacBook Pro 17"I've had absolutely no hardware problems with my MBP Rev. E. Other than upgrading the memory to 4 GB myself, have not had to touch any of the hardware. I would say macs are less prone to failure because Apple pretty much chooses and knows what goes i...
Shopping in TokyoDefinitely remember swinging by the local grocery a little before it closed to grab a few things at cheaper prices. Spent quite a bit of money on snacks since they're so good.

A Week in Tokyo 38Are you like the super version of Steve Jobs and try your best to read all emails + comments and on top of that member's blogs??? Or do you really do have a clone sitting in the corner somewhere :p?
A Week in Tokyo 38Reading your blog always helps revitalize and restrengthen my desire to return to Japan. Nice post and keep it up, Danny! Wish you all the best of luck!
Tokyo DriveDefinitely remember those sardine can moments. Had to hold my backpack to my chest, turn around, and just PUSH back in order to squeeze on and exert enough force to stay out of the path of the closing doors. Once the doors are shut, just relax and be...

A Day in Tokyo 4Have a car alarm, but it doesn't really work. Brother was using my car a few years ago while I was studying abroad in Japan and when I came back he told me someone broke into it one night and stole his iPod (big, clunky, white one) along with the AM/...
