Let's see...
I checked on google and found out that it's written
ずんずん教の野望in Japanese.
So I guess my translation should be correct.
Ha! That would make sense, since the "hero" seems to be dressed like a priest/monk. Slaughtering all those poor defenseless "sinful" dancers :lol: ! Thanks for the translation...I also downloaded that "Mario's Picross" you suggested in another thread; I'm working on figuring that one out.

If you find a good job there you'll get a visa.
It's very helpful to have a university degree. At least a bachelor, better an M.A.
I don't think Japan gives you a visa for game hunting and enjoying their food.
I guess it would be good to travel around first and "test" the country.
I know of people who loved Japan, travelled there and were a bit put off by the many people and their habits.
So my recommendation is first to go there for travel only and THEN think about living and working there. And I recommend everybody to go to university if you want to work in Japan. Some people find work there wthout a degree, but it's a helluva lot easier as a university graduate.

Lol, maybe that depends on how many Nintendo products you buy, and how much pull Satoru Iwata and Shigeru Miyamoto have with the government over there! One of these days, if I can get out of this hole I'm in, I'd like to visit too.

That's another thing again.
If you pour some billions ($, not yen :wink: ) into the Japanese economy, they might even make you a Japanese.
But if you had so much money it wouldn't matter what natiuonality you are. You'd just travel around the whole year and always tourist visa would be more than enough I guess.

There's also the MIND BLOWING INSANE internet connection speeds. Some of the speeds from that lil red dot when I notice the peer list in uTorrent are unbelievable.

I don't know the upload speeds, but down they have 100Mbit as a sort of standard now. My wife's family got hooked up to "hikari fiber" last week and they now have a 100M connection. Yahoo broadband also offers 100M and 50M.
Internet is fast there.

Hey guys! ... and gals!
Time to bring that topic back up.
I have been thinking a lot these days. And by a lot I mean: A LOT!
In the end I have come to the decision that I will leave Germany behind and move to Japan with my wife and kid next year.
My schedule so far:
I will work full-time from now on until the end of May in the company I had a part-time job for the last year. Working full-time will bring an increase in per-hour salary. :) Basically I'll save all the money and fly to Japan in mid-June 2008.
I would fly earlier, but our child will be born in the mid of January and we want to wait until the boy is about 5 months old before entering a plane.
In Japan we can rent a house from my wife's grandfather. Rent will be FREE until I find a job, so he said. Very nice offer from him. :D I will only have to pay for gas, water and electricity.
I have already found some companies in Japan that look for translators who work at home and send in the translations by email. I could do that from Germany, too, but the job descriptions say that due to government regulations one must live in Japan, so I'll go there. :)
In my free time (to earn some pocket money) I could try to get a job as tourist guide in the city (it's a city of 80000 in Hiroshima prefecture).
I could also try to make some money on vintage video games via eBay or the likes.
For the time being the chance that I'll move to Japan is around 98%. Only if I find a really good job in Germany in the next 3 or 4 months I'll consider to stay a little longer, but for now I'll go.
I already checked flight prices and I'm lucky. The flight will cost us (3 people) only 1196 Euros for a one-way flight. Yes, no return ticket. :D
We'll fly with Emirates, via Dubai.
What do you think about my plan?
Any kind words are appreciated. (And yes, I know what I'm doing here.
:P )

Wow, manuel! This is really a big surprise. I think this is so exciting, and it must be for you as well.
First off, I love the plan. It'll probably take a lot of work, but the way I see it, you shouldn't have one doubt in your mind about this. Your wife is Japanese, you have a huge interest in Japan and the language thereof. You're fluent at the Japanese language, and you wanna work as a translator.
There are no odds against you. I'd say go for it!
I find this to be particularly interesting, because I have a long-distance relationship with a girl from Argentina. We've been together for four months now, and I really love this girl. I will visit her after high school. I know, it isn't as overwhelming as this, but one day if we stick together (which I'm sure we will) we have to consider this ourselves.
And by the way, you must be very excited about the son that you're soon having. I'm very happy for you, manuel. I know you're a hard working guy, and you deserve every opportunity you get. Your plan is well thought out, everything looks good as you put it.
I have only one question though. How does your other family members react to this. Do they support your departure?
Lots of good luck!
Actually, not all was thinking. Some was plotting, some was planning, and finally the explaining of my plan which I plotted after I thought of it.

Thanks for the kind word, Chris. You're a nice guy. You should come visit me in Japan. (I mean that!)
I also wish you luck with your girl. :D
My family members weren't very happy at first, but they said if it's what I want to do I should stick with it. They'll support me.
My sister told me I shouldn't let this big chance go by. And I won't. :o

Thanks manuel. :)
Wow, really? I'd love to come and visit you in Japan, always planned to visit the country as well. It would have to wait until I have a job with a steady salary though, but I'll try to make it work. :wink:
No, this is not something you should let pass you by. You're making the right decision here.
And the reason behind why I'm nice, is because of a motto of mine. It goes like this: "Nice guys treat other nice guys nice." :lol:

Cool. Good motto. 8)
If you visit me you can stay there for free of course. :)
It's not a very big city, but a very beautiful one.

Thank you so much for the offer. I'm gonna take you up on it. I'll try to raise money to go there someday to visit you and your family. But have to wait until I move out and get my own place and all first of course. :D

Um, that's great, man. But with all due respect... What does that have to do with anything, if I may ask?
