Noticed your comment in bluesky's journal re. coming to Japan. Sure he'll tell ya more, but trust me, it's pretty damn easy if you got through college. What you'll do after Japan, that's the hard one.
Yeah, getting a job in an english conversation school is really easy. I didn`t speak any Japanese when I came here but I`ve really taken it up since I arrived. Tell your freind to check out companies called NOVA, GEOS or EAON to see the big buisness at it if he/she is still interested.
Don`t suppose you read Otherland? I just finished that and it was AWESOME.
