   Well, good luck with that. I'd love to go back to Tokyo, but since the   
   company stopped sending me it has become a lot more expensive, IYSWIM.   
      
   I would strongly recommend you (or anyone, for that matter) read "River   
   Town - Two years on the Yangtze" by Peter Hessler - although the quicker   
   witted readers may have spotted that it's about China rather than Japan, it   
   gives a wonderful insight into teaching English in a foreign culture and   
   living abroad generally. It's also just very beautifully written.   
      
   Do let us know if you find a potential employer.
