Thanks bro..I survive bout a year and half to do research, get to know, where to find, how to do and blah blah..all by my own..(if askin help from Malaysian, aiseh so negative thingy lol huhuu) its not that easy than other countries that I've been...huh! Insyallah 2010 goin to have more small biz to bring it to Malaysia..but it really damn hard to encourage Japanese to trust us as gaijin! susahhh oooo!

Oh bout my kids, yeah we do research in internet also askin some Japanese before we decide to put that beautiful Japanese name..its has a good meaning of course huhhuuhuh! They was born in Malaysia not in Japan, I got quarrelled with JPN staff during registration of my daughters name hahahaha!

The house, my plan to built in Malaysia using their design BUT not their size lor of course! I heard they either built 'rumah kayu' or 'rumah konkrit'..I bet you! The technology should we use in Msia though except the earthquake thingy really envy!

If you guys wanna see their modern architecture, advise to google it..

About the WiFi, everywhere got Wifi but I dunno either its free or have to pay..

Bout the prepaid, Softbank prepaid NEVER have this internet service one, they will force you to register as a postpaid for the internet facilities. so NO internet for Softbank prepaid, I dunno bout the other SP prepaid.

May some other fren in here have an info then..

Japan moslt all shop got Wifi service....but 90% all need pay ( or buy the item inside shop onlt let you acesses...unless you can found starbuck / coffeebean at japan...that is free wfi

Do you guys got any method that i can keep my mobile phone 24 hours online?

How about 3 stars hotel in Japan? I hope they provide FREE wifi there.

What you mean Room with Internet / Room without Internet?

For me la...as myself can consider 24hrs online a day! Either using your internet roaming or pay the WiFi coupons in any conbini or look for the internet cafe...y hook or by crook need to use right...so no prob actually..the RM is the matter...sorry I dun have any info bout that..gomen ne!

Room with internet mean after you check in into the room...the receiption will give you today internet password so you can log into thier Router...then you can online.
Room with internet will cost more.....In Japan almost can say nothing is free...even wifi also need cost you money

3star hotels do have wifi and stuff.
At least the backpackers hotels do.
Yep, once you register at the reception, they will give the wifi password.

Im not sure bout 3g/4g, but my phone keep changing from ntt to softbank n viceversa when i roam with celcom.
No 3g/4g internets for me, but the phone charges in the bill made me shat brick when i was back in MY

anyway, sup gais
*too busy with work these days ;__;

Here's a picture of the Rainbow Bridge taken today in all it's colors. (Edited to darken the sky abit ... )



ohisashiburi desu ne~ Since you asked, I'll shares some of my thoughts about living and working here in Japan.
First of all, my case is I'm sponsored by my company to work here in Japan so they 'kau tim' all my visa documents, applications, finding accommodation & transport. Living in Japan has been great so far as there's still new things to explore and discover. Also, I enjoy the weather and the culture here as it fits me quite well.

As for the working side, it's been pretty decent as well. Since I work in the IT industry, working in Japan is great. Also, I guess I'm lucky enough to have a good working environment and colleagues that are friendly and helpful.

For me, some of the biggest obstacles of working in Japan are basically communication eg. it's really hard sometimes to keep a cool head and try to make a point across to your colleagues when there's a disagreement (in broken Japanese and basic English) and the working culture eg. there's a procedure/"rule" for EVERYTHING (sometimes can be a bit too rigid). Apart from these, there's the usual office politics (which is common everywhere so gotta be a bit street smart) and certain corporate culture which is unique to each company depending on who runs it. Overall; my work schedule is pretty much a routine (Mon-Fri 9am to 6pm~8pm). Weekends and holidays; just lepak around Tokyo or sometimes explore a bit here and there with some friends and colleagues.

Conclusion: I love it here and enjoy the work, the freedom and also the culture.

Even they accept u offer already..after u going to japan...then u dunno any japanese..mean you are cheating them...then u will ban forever in japan...your name is busuk already.

Agreed. In Japan, honesty is everything. I'm sure everyone here want to 'jaga' Malaysian name coz in the long term, everyone is affected as well.

whatever is you got to do a research 1st..round and around then later come back to your friend like us, and share it here...thats the best way...because if you only ask in here, mmm..a few only members in Japan.so they all have different opinion so better do research 1st...we love to share too..

Added on December 22, 2009, 10:23 amIf you're determined, I think you can try and search online (google) for those sample official letters and see if it suits your usage. Also, try looking at those Japanese language sites for examples. You can also use online translation services (eg Google Translate or Babelfish) to try and put your sentences together.

To the rest:
takumitan89 just mentioned that he wants to send an official letter to a japanese artist company. He didn't mentioned that he's applying for a job or planning to con his way through an interview/offer. So, please don't be too quick to jump to a conclusion and give this guy the benefit of the doubt.
Remember... play nice.

Thanx for the info. Between, you know how much approximately for the cost of a prepaid card?

Normally, you can't purchase a prepaid card without the phone. It'll usually come with the prepaid phone or you'll have to incur an extra fee if you insist on not getting the phone (basically burn the cash).

Please refer to this post posted previously in this thread for the estimated cost for a Softbank prepaid. Also, it's a good idea if you read a couple of posts prior and after from that point for further similar discussions.

merry xmas, but no holiday here.
