Thanks for the great advice. I've been checking stuff out all day on this site and man am I excited to start learning. My goal is to be out of the country no later than fall 09. I'm going to keep this topic open, but I want to branch of onto the subject of the culinary industry in Japan by way of starting a new thread. I hope more will be added to this one but I guess we'll have to see. Thanks for everything!
