Tokyocooney's Japan forum

Hey, this is a question for anyone with a stable full time Job in Tokyo/Japan that would be categorized as Gaijin (this includes Chinese, Korean and all other 'Eastern' nationalities of course.)

Did you find that you were faced with any difficulties getting a job due to your race or the fact you were Gaijin?

What about the workplace? Are Co-workers friendly enough despite race or are walls clearly put up?

To tokyocooney, (Love your work) you work primarily in the entertainment field right? (I say this based on your tv broadcast work and work writing scripts, If I'm wrong please correct me >.<) in your field of work did you find it hard to get taken seriously or even have director/the men in big chairs even look at your work?

The question is very long and I apologize but people keep telling me that Japan is very prejudice when it comes to hiring Gaijin (especially Americans, I'm not American but still...)

Thanks in advance guys!

My friends and I got back from Tokyo a little while ago. Here are some fun things we did:

Asakusa Temple: Cool temple with a lot of souvenir shops leading up to the entrance. You have to switch subway lines somewhere, but it is a cool place to go people watch and do some shopping.

Meiji Shrine: In Harajuku, if you are there on Sundays, you can see a bunch of Goth kids hanging out outside.

Shibuya: There is a statue of a dog near the subway station, it is the major meeting point in Tokyo. It is right by this massive intersection where there will be the most Japanese people you have ever seen in your life crossing every time.

You're right about Japanese people not speaking English. We got lost so often, as there are not really any addresses for anything. Even when we had a map, it was really confusing. Hope this helps.
