What's it like to work in Japan as a designer, these days?
We've all heard the usual stories of people in corporate jobs working 7 days a week, 14 hour-days, and having to take business partners out to the driving range on Sundays when you're working in Japan - in a way, that sounds almost leisurely in comparison to what it's like to work in the US or or Europe as a designer; ;-) does anyone know what it would be like to have a corporate design job in Japan these days?

You posted a couple of questions regarding to designer job in Japan. As an automobile designer, it is almost impossible to find a job with Toyota, Nissan, or any other big names unless your name is a world brand. It is quite same to say that it's very tough for a Japanese car designer who cannot speak English to find a design job at GM or Ford design headquarters. Of course there are always possibilities. FYI this is one of the biggest employment/recruiting/headhunting companies in Japan. http://www.recruit.co.jp/corporate/english/ And don't mess up with funny tales of Japanese businessmen.

Everybody seemed to say no quite quickly. Maybe so. I'm no pro, but I can give you the readings off of my XBOX 360 which was purchased and is being used in Japan. Model: DPSN-186EB A Input AC: 100-127V~5A, 47-63Hz Output DC: 203W 12V---16.5A(16,5A), 5Vsb---1A Vendor: E131881 MS P/N: (then there is a bar code and then this number under the barcode) X808155-003 Looking at the question in the link below it looks like it is the same one that I have. Assuming that this question was from somebody in the States then it seems that the one you have will work in Japan. http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20080223194800AAf2Usa One problem that you might have is that most places in Japan only have two-prong outlets whereas in the States the outlets are three-prong. You should get one of those cheap adapters that go from three to two. If the cord going from the brick to the wall is already a two-prong plug, then you should be good to go. It seems that both two-prong and three-prong were sold in the US. I hope this helps.

How do sex clubs work in japan
How do sex clubs work in japan?
I went to japan and some sex clubs said: 30 min 30000 Y 60 min 50000 Y I did not enter, one said gaijin only, and in another they invited us to go in but my firend didnt want to. So, how does it work? is it like a strip club? or do they have actual sex? How about drinks? are they included in the price? thanks for serious answers... just curious

It is hard to answer your question not knowing exactly what type of establishment it was. It can be all of the above or none of the above.

60 Minutes for 50000 sounds like an all inclusive price for sex to me. If you just get a girlie show and drinks for 5 man you've been had. However a clip joint wouldn't be likely to have their prices out front. Sounds like an honest brothel to me. For the purposes of the anti-prostitution law, a definition of sex as narrow as Bill Clinton's is used. Therefore they could be selling what most would regard as sex and be fairly up-front about it.
