What is it like living in Tokyo as a foreigner?

• The language barrier: Are you watching Japanese movies?
• Cultural differences: How much are you hanging out with locals?
• Food: So much more than sushi.
• Visa: Being the representative of a/your company in Japan. (More on the subject on TokyoCheapo.com)
• Safety:

“There is no theft in Tokyo.”

• Convenience:

“Everything just works.”

• Digital Hoboism: Can you work from cafés?
• Staying organized:

“You can have a barbecue in the park. You just have to book your slot a few weeks in advance.”
