Now if you are talking about foreigners from the West (Americas/Europe/Oceania) living in Japan, then the numbers change the other way (and I think that's what we are talking about). A majority of Westerners living in working in Japan are English teachers. Most teaching positions, public (JET) or private (ECC, Geos, etc.) require a degree and/or some level or experience or training.
What's your thought on me buying a ticket to Japan, (on a 90 day visa, as I am American) and living with a friend for like.........more than 90 days?
