I see. Thank you.


Hold on, my presence is needed elsewhere.

I'll be thinking about all of you while I sip sake in the bar and grill and eat tasty treats hot off the grill, slowly slipping away from my worldly cares.

I just came to Japan about a week ago. Im just in a language school for uni-prep Japanese. Right now im just waiting for my alien registration card to open a bank account and then find some part-time work. Most likely teaching english session. If you're truly dedicated, work for it, more effort = higher rewards.

Getting into the country is a lengthy process with a lot of paperwork involved. 60 000 yen a month is what im paying for rent, ontop of that transportation eats a lot of money (train) and food portions are small compared to north america.

Get your degree in Japan? You wouldn't be the first to do it. An acquaintance of mine finished his masters in Japanese here last year.

Learning Japanese is tough enough. To get a PHD in English literature you'll need to learn Latin, as well as quite a bit of French, German, and Greek. You would do better to simply get a MA or PHD (if you make it that far) in education.
