Japan

I was watching a television show about meteor impacts, and the announcer said that the famous Siberian impact of 1904 was approximately as strong as 20,000 Hiroshima blasts.

Which leads me to wonder: do the people of Nagasaki ever feel left out? Most things measured by bomb blasts reference Hiroshima. I don't think I've ever heard Nagasaki used. I think that I would feel overlooked if I lived in Nagasaki. I'd be like "Hello? WE GOT BOMBED TOO! A TON OF PEOPLE DIED!" But that's just me.

By the way, I am not intending at all to be mean or to make fun of Japanese people or joke about the horrors of the atomic bomb blasts. I mean this question seriously. Do you think that people from Nagasaki are offended by never being mentioned?

Do you think I'll have a higher chance of getting a job in japan? Do you think I'm going to be able to make enough money? I plan to move to japan after college. Also I'm studying to become a physical therapist. I'm beginning to learn japanese because I know i'm going to need it.

Are there any interesting kaiten sushi restaurants in Tokyo? Maybe something with an interesting theme or better than the usual kaiten sushi quality? I know kaiten sushi isn't the best but I like it for a quick and relatively inexpensive meal.

I'm visiting Tokyo in 2 weeks and I've looked on line to figure out how I'm going to get around in the city. But for a person living in Virginia, tokyo's public transportation system is a bit confusing.

What is the difference between subway.JR line , and skyliner.
Which one do I use?

I'm plannig on taking a limousine bus from the airport to the hotel, in Shinjuku, since there is a direct bus. But it seems like JR line and skyliners are faster. Would limousine bus be easier for me to take?

I'll be in Tokyo for about a week and I'm looking for recommendations for some good full day iItineraries for one of those days. I'll be traveling with my girlfriend and we typically just like to walk around and explore. Food recommendatons are welcomed as well. Since Tokyo can sometimes be a bit confusing any details on addresses or how to get there would be appreciated.

For those that really live in Japan, lets give the aspiring people a dose of some of the harsh and difficult realities of Japan.
For all of us there are a few things that just makes us gaijin crazy.

1. How long after intially moving to Japan, did the crap start to hit the fan? For example, when did the unwritten rules of your workplace just drive you mad?

2. What do you miss the most from back home?

3. What really sucks about where you live in Japan?

4. Can you make a list of little things about Japan that just adds up to drive you crazy?

My answers:
The unwritten rules of the workplace. Office hours are 0930 - 1830, but to been seen as a hard worker, you have to work overtime. Because I am gaijin, I have to come first and leave last. I started to ignore that rule over 2 years ago.

2. I miss watching sports, NFL, MLB, NBA and a wide open ski resorts.

3. I love my hood

4. not all ATMs are 24 hours, JPN Taxes, "gaijin are dangerous" attitude & more

I was looking into hostessing japan, and i mean in decent hostess bars with up-scale clientelle.
I'm a tall blonde australian girl who can speak japanese very well and i was wondering what my chances at hostessing would be like.....
i just want to know details like:
-what does the job entail exactly? (i mean, more than just flirting with your kyaku...)
-money
-does hostessing have a stigma attached to it, and i mean by the japanese? would it affect your chances of getting work in another industry????
Is it really worth it, because from what i've heard it sounds decent and i love japan and want to go back there, but do something different than teaching english
