Thanks for getting back Stingy.

When I say looking for work in that sector I really mean working for a company like Japex/Enpex and become a drilling consultant. Positions like this are incredibly highly sought and need people for relevant experience 1. in the field 2. Can speak and report in the local language. This would be very viable to their Australian campaigns.

English sounds awesome. I don't really care about the hours. Can I do both that and the bar work (Bar work Part time) I had experience of this in my later teens when I was still an apprentice to make up for the lack of pay and Im also a part time DJ with over 11 years of practice behind that.

Right now I just want to nail the learning Japanese to a degree where I can converse and write basic reports which can bridge me to Japanese and non Japanese clients.

I see a lot of bad press about people who say these places over work you. 40 hours to me is normal - I do 84 per week when offshore on a drilling rig.

I assume thats why the Gaijin who stay on for the rest of their life are the ones that put the work in.

Osaka is one of the places of my interest. I want to avoid Tokyo 32 million pop is too much for a small city boy like me to live in. Is Osaka cheaper? than the other cities?
