Japan job offer

[SueEllen]

1-year contract, $200k US, school fees + apartment paid for, $10k golden handshake

Tempted but still thinking Bavaria is the better option. Anyone else here had experience of living in Japan with family? What were your experiences?

Ask the family where they want to be - and I mean all the family including the kids.

Also if you are skilled enough you will be able to move back to Germany regardless of Brexit. Skilled British people move to non-EU countries all the time.

If Japan has a block on CUk Can I suggest you take it

Time zone is suitably different in Japan.

It's nice they'll pay your school fees, what A-levels are you going to take?

That will depend on whether or not he gets any GCSEs!

Don't have any. Never needed them.

[eek]

Don't have any. Never needed them.

Don't play the Scottish standard and highers card.

To be honest I think Japan would be a culture shock to many for me.

You have sat too long here for any good you have been doing. Depart, I say, and let us have done with you. In the name of God, go!

Something that's coming to the surface the more I talk to people. Insular society, which is the complete opposite from the younger German population we're exposed to at the minute. The older bunch however.. a bit like elderly Brits, stuck in the past. Yes, I think the culture shock would be something else.

Perhaps they'd accept 1 month on 1 month off or something... Would like to practice my photography out there.
