4.0 out of 5 stars If you're serious about living in Japan, September 16, 2001

By	Harvey L Beasley JR (Bloomington Indiana) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Live & Work in Japan (The Live & Work Series) (Paperback)

I lived in Japan for one year as an exchange student, and plan to go back after graduating college. That's why I picked up this book.

This book is loaded with information, and references to other places to find information as well. The book has tons of weblinks, and email addresses of organizations to help you out once you get abroad.

The book is very real, and is NOT a tourist book. It covers topics such as taxes, how to rent apartments, how to get your car overseas, why NOT to bring your car overseas, marriage issues, employement issues, and everything.

This is a good book for the person who intends to spend an extended amount of time in Japan.

3.0 out of 5 stars Decent, June 12, 2002

This review is from: Live & Work in Japan (The Live & Work Series) (Paperback)

This book contains almost nothing about working in Japan. Half of the website links they provide don't even work anymore. The living in Japan part is quite helpful though.
