Thanks for sharing that information. I'm glad I knew most of that anyway, especially the visa information. I'm hoping to get into JET next year, but if I don't no big deal. I'm just going to job hunt, but hopefully, I'll have some kind of a job prior to that.

Before considering "living there" like a permanent resident, I want to experience the place first to see if I even like it enough to consider living there and to improve my Japanese since my skills are still very limited. My goal, though, is to be able to at least take and pass the Level 4 JPT...3 would be better, though.
