Like the posts here, it depends on where you chose
to work. If you work for an American Company in Japan, it can go pretty sweet. U.S. Companies are
known to give there employees generous packages
(housing allowances, car allowances, family benefits) when they move to Japan.
Working for a Japanese company, you can usually swing similar packages but it all depends on the company and the rest of the native staff might be a little jealous.
One thing to note about working there. IF you go over looking for a job on a tourist visa, you have to get sponsored by your company to get the working Visa. This means going back to you native country and getting the Visa from your local Japanese consulate or Embassy. It can take awhile.
It just depends how influential the company is in
getting the wheels turning are their request expedited.
There is a great book called The Pacific War
1932-1945 which was done by a famouse left
wing japanese historian. It goes into some great insight about the military, the Emperor and how
the Japanese went into the war. It was also one
of the first books to discuss (in vivid description) Unit 731. These were the equivalant
of The SS Doctors who did all of those experiments.
A lot of the history books about WWII the Japanese
schools use don't really go into much detail about the involvement. (in fact some them rewrite the history) This book pull a powerful punch.
On a side note: The authorwrote this book and fought the Right wing Japanese so that this book could could be used in Japanese schools and this is feat unto itself.
It is a common as drunks in America or Europe
peeing in the streets... Actually after living there for about 3 years (tokyo) it is not really
all that acceptable.
What is really cool to see in the mornings in Tokyo are the salaryman who were drinking late and
missed the last train home... A lot decide to just sleep (or pass out) in the streets if they don't have enough for the taxi ride...

the change will allow us to represent version numbers as a sequence of three numbers instead of as a single floating point number. This is similar to Red Hat's Linux where you have 2.2.3.
END SNIP
I assume he's talkign about the kernel number (i've never seen redhat 2.2.3). That said, when did it become redhat's kernel? Horrible use of words IMHO
