Will Blu-ray discs from Japan work in the UK?
I plan on importing some anime from Japan, now I'm in the UK so I know that the DVD's work over here, but I'm wondering if Blu-ray will work over here, i'm unsure on if there any region restrictions. Just for some extra info I'd be using my PS3 to play the Blu-ray discs, don't know if that would change anything or not. Hope someone can answer this soon, much appreciated :)

Will an American handheld shower filter work in Japan
Will an American handheld shower filter work in Japan?
All showerheads in Japan are handheld, so I can't use my regular filter back home. Therefore, I'd like to know if an American handheld shower filter will be compatible in Japan.

The US filters are too big for Japanese shower heads. If you have a free filter that you can cut to size maybe, but there is no place for a filter in the Japanese heads. So you will be compromising water pressure. Why don't you bring a hand held head from the states with an international faucet adapter. Then you will be able to use the US filters with the US head. One thing though, the US heads are much bigger so again, water pressure will be compromised. Good luck.
2 :
the water in japan is clean, so you won´t need a shower filter.
3 :
No, not at all. different size of diameter. American one can't engaged with Japanese one due to meric and uncial (cm / inch)
4 :
No. They are different in size and shape. Hardly anyone uses his/her own shower filter. For the normal faucet, they sell many kinds of water purifier and some of them are very good. You do not have to bring yours anyway.

Japan visa question working holiday to normal work visa
Japan visa question working holiday to normal work visa?
So I have a working holiday visa and I am doing part-time bar work. My visa ends in September (I'm thinking ahead) and I am wondering if anyone knows whether one could, obviously with the sponsorship of place of work, obtain a work visa in Japan just working a part-time job. I don't need or particularly want a full-time job at the moment I am quite happy doing what I am doing. I will ask the relevant authorities when I get some time but in the meantime I just want to know if anyone has an early insight into this. Thanks

Unless you are sponsored by a Japanese company or by a Japanese national, you will NOT be living in or working in Japan. You will not be allowed to rent an apartment without qualifying for permanent resident status, which given the nature of your question, is not likely. Unless you have a VERY special skill...or are an MA level English teacher, you will NOT be moving to or living in Japan. Japan has some of the most strict immigration laws in the world. Bad gaijin...no ramen for you.

Very hard. And if you don't have a special skill a Japanese doesn't have, chances of finding work are near zero. Most Americans teach English, but in most cases, this won't be long term work. Others have work in the IT / computer fields. Bear in mind if a Japanese can do the work, they will be hired first. The employer has to sponsor the employee for a work visa. They're not going to do this when there's already someone there that can do the work. Finding a apartment can be hard as many Japanese landlords won't rent to a non-Japanese. That kind of thing is still legal there. Many also want two or three months rent in advance. And there's the matter of ' key money '. Key money is more or less of a bribe to be able to rent the place.That can be another month or two of rent money.Money that you will never see again Check out the site below. It will give you an idea of what employers are looking for. But if you don't have a four year degree to start with, all this is moot.
