Also, I notice he seems to have targeted MMM, by putting what I assume is MMM's email address at the bottom of his post, hoping people will send their angry replies to him.

The user doesn't care, he jumps on, post stupid comments, get kick off, sign up with a different name again, post more crap...........

I was thinking of something more destructive than signing him up for spam.... all i need is his IP

Barely know any japanese only know some words here and there from J-drama and anime

I was thinking of moving to Japan with no plan at all...

If i go there with 10,000usd will that last me a while to find a full time job that will allow me to pay rent and have some money on the side?

PS: don't really care what kind of job i get just enough pay to live in japan... is this request easily do-able?




10,000 usd is roughly 1,000,000 yen probably less than that, and I hear Japan is really expensive... Jaiyou!

Not without a Visa, and you can't do that unless some Japanese employer hires you, and in order for a Japanese employer to hire you, you have to "have something" that an actual Japanese person doesn't have, ya know, to make the guy want to hire you. With the whole language barrier, I don't see how you could get by in that regard.

Aside from English teaching, which you need a degree for in general, I don't see what other job you could do and if anything, seems it'd be preferred for something long-term, not short.

He thinks I am a mod and that I banned him in some other form a long while ago. He is obvioulsy mistaken.

SSJup is right. You need to have a work visa. To get a work visa you need an employer/sponsor. No restaurant is going to go through the headaches of and red tape of hiring a foreigner and try to prove that you have a unique skill that a Japanese person cannot do. That's why 95% of foreigners in Japan are language teachers.

If you are really serious about moving to Japan, do yourself a huge favor and finish college. So many doors open for you by accomplishing that. I dunno how much of a looker you are, but you can always try to work in a host club =P

You don't have to be good looking to work in a host club, but you need to have a couple suits and be fluent in Japanese. You also need to either have a day job and a work visa or never plan on returning to America and live as an illegal alien.
