Japan

My time in Tokyo has come to an end and since March, I live in the Kansai area. However, that also means it’s time to change the Internet provider. Here’s how I did it.

One thing I wanted to do for the longest time was to switch my Czech driving license for a Japanese one. The only thing preventing me from doing so was my enormous laziness and not being completely sure what is required.

This article is, unfortunately, going to be a bit different from all the other “How to Japan” articles. In my previous articles, I tried to present a problem and show a solution to overcome the obstacles in my way. When it comes to Japanese banks, I’m afraid I haven’t found that solution yet.

I swear I have been putting of writing this article for a really long time. In the following paragraphs, I will try to describe my road to Japan (which necessarily involves getting a job first) and hopefully provide a few pieces of advice that could help anyone wishing to pursue the same path.

I finally made it to Japan but besides having a job, I had the foolish wish of also having the place to live, a place I could call my “home”. Here are the steps I had to undergo and the help I had to receive, as this task would be impossible to complete on my own.
