Hi, I'm interested in a number of personal experiences regarding life a little further inland... specifically the Nara Prefecture and the city of Nara itself... I've read a few short surveys about Nara and to me it seemed like an interesting town to me. However I'd like to hear the opinion of people who have lived in Nara (or traveled and stayed there for a distinct amount of time, i.e on vacation etc.), how life there looks like, what's the traffic like, the availability of good jobs etc... is it a town that offers a lot for an average citizen wanting to live in Japan?

Thanks
