initial culture shock? share your experience - 06-14-2007, 05:19 PM

there's a good chance i'll be moving to tokyo in january of next year. one thing i'm concerned with is the initial culture shock and i am wondering if anyone could share their experience.

let me give you some examples/questions: arrival. was it hard to find your way out of narita airport and to your place of lodging? how hard is it to get around, find food etc without speaking or reading japanese? what about finding addresses? looks like yahoo maps doesn't have info, google maps is all japanese, and when i put in an address in romaji, it doesn't find the place

anything else you think to write about would be appreciated. Thanks!
