Moving To Japan
Enyo
the company is paying for the move. I will be going from a house to a
standard Japanese 2 bdrm apartment so I will have to get rid of lot's of
stuff. I know about 50hz and 100v issues, but will US phones work?
Anything you wish you brought over or did not.

Wide, open spaces.
Are you above average height, weight or build? Is your shoe size larger
than 28 cm?

Any English software for the computer. Certain computer hardware if you
don't want to get stuck with domestic models (non-existent English
drivers).
Books in your language. Probably other things...

I second that. Bring other things. And lots of them!

What else?
If he is is of average size, clothes and shoes are pretty well covered here.
All he needs is to get used to Japanese food to survive comfortably.
Maybe I should mention "Kodak film" and a decalcifying agent for washing
machines.:-)

Wait a bit:
Name cards in English are much cheaper in the USA, unless he likes anywhere
between 2 to 5 spelling mistakes. Happened to me more than once.
Get a Visa or Master card before you come here.

U.S. phones work just fine. Bring as much deoderant/antiperspirant as you
can. It will tide you over until you can find a local source for westerner
strength. Japanese body chemistry is different so the stuff they sell here
won't cut it. When you get here and look for a new favorite toothpaste keep
and eye out for a brand with flouride. Not all toothpaste sold here does.
The water, at least in my area, is not flouridated so it's especially
important. Probably a good idea to bring a bunch with you.

Can't believe that the last time I was in Dublin I didn't have the
foresight. Needed: Murphy's Stout Pint glasses. 72 of them. 568ml. Can't
find a supplier in Japan for them anywhere. Instead I went and bought a
bunch of books and other such stuff that is absolutely useless for
peddling booze.

Which of my statements don't you agree with? I which my chemistry was the
same, in nature, as my wife's. She doen't need to use any deoderant at all.
However I did detect an oder from a Junior High student so maybe it's not
the entire population of Japan. Maybe diet comes into play somewhere.

Ask your non-smelly Japanese wife what this means:
オヤジ臭
If she answers, "check under your pits, you f@cking slob," then all should
become clear.

I haven't been told that one at all. Could it be that it's a regular
subject of conversation in your household? Fortunately she's not of
European descent such as ourselves because she doesn't jump on other
people's opinions and observations. Aren't you supposed to be crawling into
a dumpster somewhere about now you swill guzzling piece of Irish shit? Take
care.
