Does the sony ericcson xperia x10 work in japan?
I go to Japan every summer and I would like a phone that would operate correctly while I'm there. I want to be able to go on the internet while walking around in japan and checking my e-mail, facebook, twitter and etc. If possible tell me about the plans that are available for this. Thank you sooo much :)

I really wouldn't advise using a foreign 3G network on your mobile. You will end up with hundreds of dollars worth of usage charges. I have read horror stories of people getting phone bills in excess of $1000 from using their phones excessively whilst overseas. Your phone should work but you will probably need to contact your provider and let them know you are traveling overseas and need international roaming. When you contact them it would be a good idea to ask them about international charges for using your phone overseas. It will be significantly higher than when using domestically. My advice would be to either limit your phone usage to emergencies or there are some places you can hire a phone for while you are here. There are places in Narita and Kansai airports that hire out phones. This is probably a much cheaper/safer option. It isn't possible to simply get a prepaid simcard and use that in your phone here either. All mobile phones here are tied to networks and it is a lengthy and difficult process even to sign up for a new prepaid phone. If you decide to use your phone here on your current network and regularly check twitter, facebook, etc. then make sure you have a spare $1000 for when the phone bill comes in.

How does transportation work in Japan
How does transportation work in Japan?
Does every adult in Japan own a car like in the USA? Or do they ride buses and subways?

No, not everyone has a car. Everywhere in Japan is easy to get around by train, bus or taxi. The most expensive being the taxi. For long distance or within the large cities, travel by train which includes subways. In the larger Tokyo metro area, to own a car there must be proof of place to park it. No parking place, no car. And, of course, walking is very much in fashion. There are a lot of cars there and at first glance all will appear new -- nearly 100% are less than 4 years old. Japan has very strict laws concerning safety and environment and inspections are required of these components. At the 4 year age, all cars are subject to this inspection. The cost of this inspection is so great that most will trade in the car for a new one.

Japan is a large country, not every adult in the USA drive cars either, though most. In Japan most urban city areas people use public transportation, because it is easier. Most of the population in Japan live in urban areas. Now, if you go out to the countryside or areas where there is not enough public transportation, people drive cars, etc. even in the cities people sometimes ride bikes as well.

I think cars are maybe more common in 'burb or country areas. not so much in places where the train or bus transport is abundant. remember japan in whole is like a bit bigger than california or imagine the whole length of the east coast of USA, so the need for driving long distances isn't needed especially when you have access to such transport as bullet trains.

that kind of things happend, i have a friend who went to japan and there was a lot of rusians and Ucranian girls doing those jobs, what is worst is sometimes girls dont know it when they are recruited.
2 :
The worst is Saudi Arabia. Basically these women think they're going to be maids but when the girls get there they are not told that their employers think of them little more as sex slaves because they're not muslim. It's really better to be trained as a nurse if you have the finances to do it.
