Room is a mess, have two suitcases I'm gonna fill up with clothes, toiletries, my PS5 and games. Got my Laptop and Steamdeck ready to go. Shit, what else am I forgetting?

Oh yeah got a free Fold4 from an Amazon misunderstanding along with the Fold5 I bought. Might as well set that up as a backup phone.

Just be aware some phones in the US have really weird network frequency bandwidths that make them unable to use Japanese SIM cards. I had a phone that was unusable after moving here.

Its been my dream. I got a new job for the first year, then I'll be looking for another job in data, programming, or general admin whilst aiming to move to Tokyo in the next year.

I'm from the UK so the phones are unlocked. I also have an old Galaxy S8 that i'll bring too.

My wife is a programmer in Japan. If you know Japanese it is super easy to get a job. Massive shortage of programmers.

Yeah Japan uses US style outlets, so your British plug stuff won't work.

I'm at conversational level, hopefully I'll be able to improve whilst I'm there. Gonna have to work hard for it though.

Good luck and I hope you have a safe flight. And don't forget you promised to make a new Idols topic once you get everything set up.

I really enjoy visiting Japan. Not sure Id want to move there though. I prefer Vietnam in many ways (not least, the financial aspects).

Thanks and will do. Once I settle in I'll go out for venues and meet new idols I've never met before.

And of course, my ultimate goal of meeting the girls from Sakurazaka46. Even thinking about that....

We have a Chinese friend who doesn't even know Japanese yet and is getting an interview with Amazon Japan as a programmer. So depending on your abilities you might be fine either way. My wife programmed for Nittetsu and now JA, but she needed Japanese for both (though she also worked at the Wuhan branch of Nittetsu when she was stuck there during the lockdown). I think Nittetsu is a really good company though. If you're a programmer you will also be able to get a pretty nice visa and after 5 years can apply for permanent residency.
