my wife is Japanese and i've been here for over 7 years now and i'm so glad i don't live in the UK, but there again i grew up with a lot of problems and alway got heaps of stress in the UK so i have always been interested in foreign travel etc

Thanks Akitaperson, (Akitahito? hee hee!)
It's reassuring to know that! We want to have the flexibility of being able to live in both the UK and in Japan - obviously, as her family live there and my work is in the UK!
I own my own house and my job is as secure as you can get given the price of oil (that will only ever get more expensive!) My gf is a qualified nurse working at Mita hospital and as we all know - nurses are much sought after the world over (or at least they used to be!)
Thanks again!
