I might be moving there for a couple of years to work in Hiroshima. Can anyone tell me what it is like? I imagine it is pretty different.

 

Will I have to marry the girlfriend to get her on my visa :shock: , and if so will she be able to work?

 

I know the cost of living is higher but do Engineers earn more out there then here (please say yes, the compny will match local wages :dance: )?

 

I'll deal with the "can you send me a ..." in another post :)

I went there very briefly in 2004 with work.

It wasn't that expensive at all.

I was there on holiday in 1989 and I think it was more expensive then than it was last year.

 

I found the people really friendly but they do have different manners etc. They are very serious and focused at work, then go mental on whiskey and fags in the evening.

 

Girls in night clubs seemed much keener to talk to me than in the UK too. :hyper:

My grandad worked in Hiroshima with the Navy. VERY briefly. He has shown me photos, quite a mess :shock: . Id imagine its a little different now.
