Hi, I'm currently working in Thailand, but looking at other Asian countries. Have been browsing this site for a bit and got some ideas about working in Japan. I would like to know a bit more. Can anyone answer me these questions:
-what attracts people to Japan? why they want to work there?
-what are the bad points about working in japan?
-what regions can foreigners work?
-how are the japanese students?
-particular good places to start working as a first job?
-salary versus cost of living
-visa workpermit etc is it commonly arranged by employer?
-is it worth learning japanese?
-any other places to find good info besides this site?

Any questions about Thailand, plse ask.
Thanks, Tao.
