In Dragon Ball, Muten Roshi entered that Budokai Tenkaichi Martial Arts tournament and used the alias "Jackie Chun" since he didn't want Kuririn or Goku to know that he as participating in the tournament as well. He had changed his appearance too. Guess you could say that he was testing their abilities, as he did train them months beforehand for the tourney, and it would be easier to do that without their knowing that he was really Muten Roshi. Neither were literally seen at the same time...sort of, since they were both the same person.

Like most things in Dragon Ball, Jackie Chun was probably a pun for Jackie Chan.

Congratulations. Your spousal visa puts you in the same situation as the hundreds of thousands of able bodied Japanese citizens looking for work in one of their worst economic climates.

Your ability to beat the system only means that the Japanese govt has missed their opportunity to weed out an individual who may end up leeching their system.

Have you thought about the type of skills you can present which will put you head and shoulders above the competition? Your knowledge of English is probably the obvious skill but you'll be competing against university graduates.

That's a pretty bold statement for someone who's never even visited Japan.

BTW, I'm not trying to pick on you. I'm just treating you like the dozens of other starry eyed members who stroll onto this site to tell us that they've decided to move to Japan.

alanxI was following your post, so do you plan on getting a degree anyways? And by when? I keep hearing that you want to get married to a Japanese girl in 2010, so thats next year, how old are you now? And how old is this "Japanse Girlfriend" of yours? How do you plan on supporting yourself and her once you are there? Her parents won't be too fond of it if you can't proof to them that you can at least provide shelters and food on the table for her..

Hi... I'm new here. My name is Oscar... I just turned 22 on march 6th. And I'm getting a Major degree in International Business.

I've studied Japanese since 2006... I'm currently 4 Kyu to be exact. And it's supposed that I have the knowledge of a 4 years old kid (respecting to the language). I've studied English since I was 12 years old... and I also know a 30% of Italian... maybe a little bit more. Oh, my mother tongue is Spanish... Cuz I live in Mexico.

Do I have a chance in getting a job? I'm interested on commerce and business... specially in imports-exports.

Your background and everything else looks great, I am not sure how strong an international business degree will be, but it definitely worth something

Unfortunagely, current economy is not in your favor. I think you should wait a few years and look into a job in teaching foreign language?

I really don't know enough about the Business and Teaching field, but to me, your background looks like you are a strong candidate.....

Have you been to Japan? I'd recommend taking a trip there to go see it first to see if you like it. Many people I talked to were thrilled to move to japan but changed their mind after 1/2 year of working 14 -18 hours daily

This thread is really helpful. I'm not going over for a couple of years and I'm looking to learn all I can for the meantime. The culture shock thing doesn't worry me as I've lived abroad a fair bit but it's great to get practical advice like this.

Thanks for your reply. I haven't yet. But at this point I'm not too interested on teaching languages, because I've tried to teach Japanese or Italian to my brother and I didn't have success. They got the point, but it was hard.

I want to get a job in exports and imports. But I'm almost sure that there's room for me. Mainly because my country has too many things to offer. For example: Fruits, Vegetables, Meats, etc.
