I was wondering what the Restaurant/Hospitality/food industry is like in Japan at this time. I recently posted a new thread about culinary school, and realize that I have a few obstacles to overcome. But I'd like to know about more of them now (obstacles that is) so I can concentrate on knocking them out one by one in order to make my way over to Japan by hopefully no later that Fall 10.
Would getting a job in a Japanese restaurant here in the states be a good way to get a job hook-ups over seas?
