Back in Hawaii......

I finally have internet! After a week or so I finally managed to settle down in Hawaii after returning from Japan. It seems almost surreal being able to live and work in Japan. If you decide that you would like to travel to Japan and work there, its not as easy as it seems. Asides from the issue of getting a visa to work there, majority of the japanese people don't even speak english so knowing how to speak japanese is a must. Fortunately, my wife is japanese and I can speak the language. If getting a visa is no problem and you can speak japanese and you are pursuing a job in a patisserie or boulangerie you better be damn good at what you do because these people whom hold much pride in their work will expect much from you as a foreigner. If you can hang in with these people, the bright side is that there are many jobs available for patissiers and boulangiers in Japan. Here is a good website for those looking for a job in Japan http://www.gourmetcaree-tokyo.com/index.html . It has listings for all kinds of kitchen work. Just look in the patissier section.
