Yeah, I won't be chartered for another 2 years yet... basically, the company I worked for back home in England are owned by the same group I work for now (it's a huge multi-national operation). The whole climate change thing has got people worried about earthquakes happening in Europe more frequently so want to get engineers trained to start adapting/planning buildings to cope with such problems. My job basically involves shadowing people to study what they do at the moment, but it is getting more hands-on each day.

Thanks people,

I have found a place close to work in Tennouze Isle for 150,000yen. Looking forward starting work on the 13th of August.

So, and websites for good Maps of Tokyo in English, anything similar to this?

No idea about websites, but I would recommend visiting a tourist office and grab a copy of the train maps (maybe train stations have them to?) as they are VERY valuble!
