Don't give up so easily. One might be surprised at the age one can work a broad.

Good post. Would read again.

Are you using one of those working holiday visa's?

Don't think it's a holiday visa given its a permanent position.

I've spent a bit of time in Shinagawa, don't really know the other areas of the city that well.

that's 8 districts. Which was my point.

Shinjuku's red light district was the inspiration for the setting of the original Blade Runner movie. That's why I went looking for it (and I'm sticking with that excuse). I got very drunk, very lost, walked about 5 miles and never found it.

There isn't one.

I think I'll live in the centre, yes I went last year to visit a friend which inspired me to look into it.

I've spent 1/3rd of my time working as a contractor!

I've spent very little of my time working. But that's not what my timesheets say.

Where in Tokyo?
Have you been before?

Less than 500 posts on here, YANCOTBAC.

Get back to permieland.

However I found Osaka a nicer place than Tokyo.

hoping he gets confused?

Being an expat seems a good basis for a ban

Wishful thinking

Loved Osaka, far nicer than Tokyo, great food, great people, easy to get to Nara, Kyoto, etc

I only got the Kyoto station as some moody Italians nicked my camera, so I went back to Osaka to sulk. And get pi$$ed.
