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

    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.

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