What do you do for a living?

Right now? Nothing - I had a kid and put that whole thing first. Before that, I was a translator/interpreter.

Read the other countless times I`ve answered this in the thread.

Are there other Americans there (that you're friends with I mean)?

I have one friend who is American, and one friend who is Australian. Neither of them are friends because they`re those nationalities. Actually, probably in spite of it.

Also, How long did it take for you to become proficient in Japanese (speaking and literacy)?

Also, I think I`ve answered this a hundred times... I`d say 4 months to full fledged conversation at a mid gradeschool level without any actual studying. (Just being in Japan) 6 to 8 months to actual age level.
Literacy... I don`t really remember. I`d say a year and a half before I could comfortably read a novel? (Much MUCH quicker for easy stuff like manga.) Again, with no study.
