thanks for the advice! :)

i'm actually going there to sell games to westerners via ebay as a way of earning money, thats why i need to go to citizens advice about tax issues.

i'm also using the trip before i stay there to find all the cheapest stores (i've got 4-6 weeks then to search all the back alleys for hidden shops).

i've been making a living off ebay for the last 2 years now and have a good knowledge of multi-format prices (western prices) and rarities. i know some people disaprove of ebay capitalists, but its the only thing i've ever been good at. I've got no decent school / collage qualifications, so its my only outlet and i enjoy it.

i don't mind getting forum members densha games as i'll be searching for games to sell on ebay all the time anyway and visiting the post office as often. my ebay activities are a full time job.

i highly recommend you doing the game selling route for quick and easy money in japan, if you dont mind making money off people on ebay. all you need to do is get a few sealed and mint copies of dreamcast shumps, ps2 bemani games and mint and complete sfc games, sell them for buy it now, and you'll easily be able to survive on a weekly basis. or sell loads weekly and live a very rich life!. as i said before, it just depends on your opinion towards making money off people on ebay (i know a lot of people are against it!).

i might have to get a part time job like handing out leaflets to qualify for the part time working visa, but that doesnt bother me as long as its just for a few hours a week.

another reason why i'm leaving is because i don't like the majority of british girls (very masculine). i'd love to find a japanese girl to settle down with, and am currently on a japanese dating service.

i'm also on a few sites looking for english speaking tokyoites to help me settle in and to help me with sending stuff in the post office and in return i'll help them with their english and of course friendship.

i'm currently learning the basics of the language, customs, manners etc... (downloading various language teaching programs and playing on shenmue a lot!)
:lol:

one of my friends is a teacher in japan (hiroshima area), and he'll be coming to tokyo now and again to see me, which will be good!

wow, that price difference for shadow of colossus is quite a lot! :o
