Never been to Tokyo before? Miss the feel of a fresh Kanto breeze in the midst of a sticky, humid Japanese summer? Then I present to you, in full 1080p HD glory...

Really easy to do, especially if you're reminiscing over all the sights you recognize or that look familiar.

Tokyo tends to have that effect on people.
I know it does on me. As do Hong Kong and Bangkok.

Definitely pay those cities a visit if you ever get the chance! You'll have a great time!
If you don't mind me asking, what will you be thinking of doing job-wise if you do move to Toyko? It's an idea I've toyed with too (along with the HK and Bangkok).

Well, I am of Southern Chinese heritage, so it makes sense, right?
And yeah, the fake stuff is super obvious -- I think the only people that would be fooled are the ones that never had the real thing.

No way, the pay is super low. It's more an excuse to have a steady work visa and maybe cheap(er) housing arranged for you. I know a buncha folks that did it before, plus I considered it myself at one point. That, and there's a good chance of getting posted in the sticks (or at most the 'burbs); metropolitan positions are hard to get 'cuz everyone wants'em.
