Back Surgery in Kyoto? URGENT ADVISE by vmelfijr

My 22 year old daughter lives/works in Kyoto. She just went for an MRI for acute back pain and the doctor wants to schedule surgery. I'm not concerned with the decision (tell me if you think I'm wrong), since it's usually pretty clear if surgery ...

See this is an old post, but would like to just reassure anyone in Japan that they have great medical services. While unfortunately there is a problem where they sometimes do not tell people the truth in tragic circumstances (ie. If you are going to ... Read More

Public transportation in Kyoto by Armand

Hi all, What do you think about the means of transportation in Kyoto ? Is the network of means of transportation well developed? What modes of transport are available? Do you use them? How much is a fare? Are they relatively ...

My boyfriend spends a good amount of time there, so subsequently I stayed there a few short times. According to him, and in my experience as well, the buses are great. The cost should be listed on the front of the bus. There are a few fixed priced ... Read More

Working and College in Japan by Miiya

Hi all! I was wondering if it was possible to work in Japan while on a student visa. I am thinking of transferring to a Starbucks in Japan, although I'm not sure where yet,and will it mess up something with my visa if I already have a job before I ...

HkxColonCleanse

I got a work permit when I lived in Japan on a student visa (Although they cancelled my job -_- www). Don't worry too much. Just need some papers from the employer, bring them to your school and have them filled out/signed by your teachers. Then go ... Read More

I think you should share more details about what you are looking for/yourself. Do you prefer a faster or more relaxed atmosphere? Are you okay with working long hours? Do you prefer more noise or quiet? Introverted society or extroverted (ie. ... Read More

Public transportation in Fukuoka by Armand

Hi all, What do you think about the means of transportation in Fukuoka ? Is the network of means of transportation well developed? What modes of transport are available? Do you use them? How much is a fare? Are they relatively ...

HkxColonCleanse

Fare depends on distance, for all methods of transport I think (except for long distance travel with fixed points). For the train, remember to calculate costs correctly if you are in a hurry, as your ticket won't let you exit if you didn't pay ... Read More

Do men also leave their country for a woman? by globetrotter

Being an expat for a while now I realise that I only know women who have left their home country for their man. There are two types: 1. Those who fell in love with a "foreigner" and decided to emigrate to his home country. 2. Those who followed ...

What has been the most difficult thing about becoming an expat? by Guest9764

Different people will have different answers to this and I'm curious to hear what people have to say--and I am also curious to read what strategies you use to deal with it!! If you're an accompanying partner the hardest thing might have been giving ...

HkxColonCleanse

For me, it has been different in each country I have lived in. I think the hardest part for me is the loneliness. I have never stayed in a country longer than 1 year except in America. Each time I have had a difficult time making true friendships ... Read More
