Hello again! Since I leave for Korea in a few days and then Japan in a month or a half, I realized something: how should I approach jobs in Japan? As an exchange student, what would be the best type of part-time job for me? I'm thinking about something related to teaching English, but I'm wondering if there's something or somewhere else I can work part-time.

Thanks MMM, I probably should have thought of that first before I posted that question. Sorry for the extreme delay- I'm currently in Korea right now and my schedule's been a bit hectic juggling visiting relatives and school.
I have another question, if you may indulge me: what are some awesome places I should visit during my stay? I realize that this question can be answered once I enter into Japan, but surely the people around me will not know all the best places to visit. One places I would like to visit in particular are fish markets. Aside from the tsukiji fish market, are there any other well-known markets? Living in Korea made me realize one thing: I cannot tolerate humidity. The place I am staying it regularly reaches around 80-90% humidity; is the same true for Japan during summer? How are the public drinking water locations in Japan? In Korea, it's very rare for me to find a drinking station in a public setting- is it also true for Japan? There is also a lack of paper towels in the restrooms to dry my hands off after a wash in Korea. Instead, they have (if at all) these weak hand dryers that doesn't do much. Would I have to carry a handkerchief with me or is the situation in Japan a bit more technologically up to date so that I wouldn't have to resort to carrying handkerchiefs to dry my hands? Please forgive me for these seemingly asinine questions- these aspects in Korea has been extremely irritating for me so I want to know whether I will experience this again or it will be a bit more comfortable in Japan regarding these situations.

I don't really know Tokyo that well. Hopefully someone here can help. What sorts of things are you interested in? The place I am staying it regularly reaches around 80-90% humidity; is the same true for Japan during summer? Yes. How are the public drinking water locations in Japan? In Korea, it's very rare for me to find a drinking station in a public setting- is it also true for Japan? Good question. Not very common, I think. You can see drinking fountains in large public areas like shopping malls, but vending machines are everywhere. Would I have to carry a handkerchief with me or is the situation in Japan a bit more technologically up to date so that I wouldn't have to resort to carrying handkerchiefs to dry my hands? Most people carry a handkerchief. A lot of public restrooms have paper towels, but many have air dryers (that tend to be very powerful).
