Interesting piece.

About the work visa. I'm not sure what country you're from, but I know that Japan has a working holiday arrangement with a lot of countries.

For example, I as a New Zealander can get a working holiday visa for a year in Japan to do whatever I want. The criteria I need to meet to get this visa is something like:

-Have to be a citizen of a country with which Japan has this agreement with
-Have to be under 31
-Have to prove that you have the means to take care of yourself (this often means having to show that you have enough money and a return ticket, and maybe travel insurance.)

Anyway, I was thinking of working on a ski field next summer break (Japanese winter) which is how I know about it.
