Hi, I've asked a lot of native Japanese the same question and somehow, I'm not really satisfied with the answers I got so I thought someone here might help out. I have plans of living and working in Japan in the near future and I was wondering where the ideal place would be for a Gaijin like me to start out. I currently have a job as an Architectural Technologist and I do plan to work in an engineering firm in Japan later on. I hope someone can shed some light or share some insight regarding this.
