Is it illegal for two men to be in one of those sex hotel rooms?

Question:

I hear its illegal and its also illegal if 1 women and 2 guys go into one of those sex hotels in Japan.
they will arrest you on the spot.

Is it true?

Answer:

Many times in a love hotel you never see the owner and they never see you - it is all anonymous, and you pay a vending machine in the room to unlock the door for you when you want to leave.
So you can pretty much do what you want -- but if you ask if it is OK, most owners would frown on such activities - it can ruin their reputation and business if the place becomes infamous.

How much can i make in japan and how much can housing cost?

Question:

So secretly I've been studying Japan for about a year and 3 months. I'm fluent in most areas yet still finding trouble writing Kanji. I really want to move to Japan after college (I'm not sure of the city yet). My major is oncology. I was wondering how much, and if they're needed, doctors that specialize in cancer can make in Japan. I've tried sites but majority of them are vague. Only saying things like "It's really expensive for this and that" or "You should probably try living in guest homes." and things like that.

Can anyone help?

Answer:

You don't need to worry how much money you can make or which city is good to live in.
Because YOU CANNOT WORK IN JAPAN.
Your oncology degree is totally worthless in Japan.
If you want to work as a medical doctor, you should complete 6-year medical study in Japan and pass our national examination for MD license. All of the courses and examinations are conducted in Japanese language, not to mention.
Most probably, you cannot pass the entrance exam to a medical school in Japan to begin with, not because of your academic ability, but because of your language difficulties.

Japanese boy names that mean "Moon fire"?

Question:

or other way around

Answer:

Ummm... well, there is no actual boys name that means something like that. :s lol Fire is 火 (hi or ka) and moon is 月 (tsuki or zuki)

Any name I think of sounds kind of feminine, but maybe "Kazuki" 火月 （かづき） would be okay. I hope this is just for some username. XD

Most likely moving to Japan soon, just one problem...?

Question:

I had my bachelors degree in business for awhile now, and I may soon be getting a working visa. There are a lot of business jobs in Japan, and I've wanted to move there for quite some time. I also have money saved up to make the trip, every thing's set :) However, I have a thyroid disorder, so I need to take my medication every day. I'm not sure how I would get my medicine in Japan...would I have to go to a doctor and have him prescribe it? I know this sounds like a dumb question, but I'm not sure how I'd get my medicine, and it might stop me from moving :( Please, someone explain how I'd go about getting my medication in Japan, as a foreigner. Thanks in advance, for all responses.

Answer:

The most common option is to go to a doctor in Japan and get your medicine there.

There is no problem in it. But if you tell us which medicine you are using now, I can check if it's available in Japan.

Addition:
Levoxyl is available under the name of "THYRADIN-S・" in Japan. So you can go to a doctor in Japan and ask if you can get it.

How harsh are Japanese customs when you first arrive at the airport?

Question:

I am traveling to Japan for vacation for a period of 3 weeks. I am going to be backpacking around Tokyo and I am wondering how harsh are Japanese customs agents at the airport? I am not smuggling drugs or anything or working, however I am 19 and I am not staying at any hotels(i am staying at hostels and internet cafes). The reason I say I am not staying at any hotels is because I heard sometimes they will ask for reservations, and if they ask for some from me I wont be able to give them any because I am not staying at hotels.

I was also thinking I should dress up business casual, however I am having second thoughts as that might give the impression I am coming to Japan for work(they dont like that) when I am only coming for tourism.

Answer:

If you look clean cut and dress neatly, you won't have any problems.

Question:

do you lik japanese language?

and why do you like it?

Answer:

What are some American Snack Foods that are not available in Japan?

Question:

I am sending a surprise gift to a friend who is stationed in Japan and want to include some American snack foods, (candy, chips, etc.) that are not available there. She is stationed in Yokota, so if anyone out there is familiar with the location your help is greatly appreciated. I'm thinking of an American comfort snack, something that will remind you of home. Thanks a bunch.

Answer:

Alice - really great idea but on Yokota there is a huge US Commissary and a PX/BX that offers all of the creature comforts of home. The best thing you can send would be baked goods like your homemade cookies or brownies or fudge. Make sure its packaged in ziplock bags, well wrapped. These will mean more than anything you can buy her. Include a local newspaper from home or a CD you record off the local radio station. If you have a local restaurant (non-chain) that she likes put some napkins or a menu in the package as well which will bring back all those great memories. Anything from home is what she's really love, don't worry about Oreos or Doritos or anything like that.

Hope this helps. I was stationed in Japan (not far from Yokota) for 6 years and a care package from home with HOME things was the best. My mother actually bought me a subscription to our hometown paper and I loved getting it even though the news was late by the time it arrived.

Is there really a Yakuza gang in Japan today ?

Question:

do we see this only in movies or there are really Yakuza(Japanese mafia) in japan ? i heard Japan merely got crimes
sorry my English is poor

Answer:

Absolutely. The Yakuza controls most (if not all) of the Pachinko Parlors (gambling), drugs, guns and prostitution. That's just the typical stuff. Above these crimes you have corruption, graft, contract manipulation for construction companies owned by the "family", pornography and the list goes on.

Organized crime is alive and well in Japan as it is in the US, Russia, China, Thailand and so many more countries around the world.

If there was this guy.....?

Question:

....... who was a foreign resident in Japan and kind of made a fool of himself, and said some things to people he never should have said, even though in his screwed up way he thought them, how would said person go about saying he was sorry to a lot people? Just asking because to keep this relevant to the forum, a 'friend' of mine was recently here and spouted off some nonsense that he says he really does believe, kind of, but feels like a total donkey's butt.

How would you say that to a lot of people?

Answer:

I would say to him two things.

1) If at times you feel a little useless, offended or depressed. Always remember that you were once the fastest and most victorious little SPERM out of millions. If that didn't bring a smile, I would go to #2 quite rapidly.

2) The heaviest thing you can carry is a grudge. You appear to be over it. Move on.

Edit:

Sorry, I miss read... " How would you say that to a lot of people" I think you've just said it.

Help me! Planning a trip to TOKYO?

Question:

I am 16 and I'm planning a trip to Tokyo with 2 of my friends (or just me if they can't make it after all) for this coming November, which is the year end school holiday.

I want to explore Tokyo myself so I don't want to follow any tours or anything, and I can find accommodation and also book the flight with my parents consent.

But I think my parents just won't let me go because there are no adults with me? I live in Asia and i was very lucky to go to London two times and for those two trips i have explored London by myself but stayed with my brother who lives there.

I am still not very familiar with Tokyo but i can't find anyone who can accompany me. My parents don't want to go, same goes to my friends parents, or should i find those tour agencies that only handle accommodation, food and flight? If there is even such an agency?

I live in Malaysia by the way.

Answer:

Sabbyasa is completely wrong - there is lots of history in Japan - and also historical value is not the only value.

Bottom line is this, without your parents consent, you aren't going anywhere. You can try and find a tour, and that might convince them. However, ultimately, it's their decision.

NEED HELP WITH JAPAN STUFF?

Question:

i plan on going to japan with my boyfriend. i was just wondering a couple of things. i know in some places they dont allow public desplays of affection. is holding hands, hugging(not like how you hug your friend but like embracing), and kissing not aloud in public? and i know that in asia its all about politeness (thats why they have informal and formal language right?) so if it is aloud, would it be very rude and impolite to other people around us? what if we are at a restaurant with a romantic mood (if they have restaurants like that), would kissing and holding hands be okay there? if you have any extra information about japanese culture please let me know :)

Answer:

>what if we are at a restaurant with a romantic mood (if they have restaurants like that), would kissing and holding hands be okay there?

If you want "Do as Romans do", you should not hug or kiss even if it's a romantic restaurant. Because Japanese people do not do it.

But it's OK to hold hands even if it's where there are many people.

In fact, hugging is in "gray zone" because more and more young couples do it now. But some people still do not like it.
