how do you say "the page cannot be displayed" in japanese? is it the same as "you are fucked, gaijin"?
or if I refer to altavista translation:
"gaijin, the condition of fucked it is - don't you think?"

Your getting into the FG Way...WOTS more, it's gonna be crap cheese and J-bacon cost 600-800yen. Shopping at National Azabu is like shopping at Tiffany's for auto parts.

Besides it's being a real headache to find a large main bedroom, most constructions are very lightly isolated - strange, considering power and gas costs are high.

1. Your non-working wife is gonna hate Japan after the first few months of excitement. Expect to become divorced.

Furniture? What's that?

Wow, Denenchofu. That's like the Beverly Hills of Tokyo, dude... you chose a commute that involves switching trains. You will find that it's a real pain in the ass".

Manarak wrote:There is something strange about denenchofu being the beverly hills of tokyo, since many not-so-nice apartments in the city are advertised at much more than 350k...
A 140 sqm house in Beverly Hills at the same price as a 60 sqm meter apartment in Longbeach? That is something I would like to see in the states.

If you still have time to look for an apt., try to find one that is on the Nanboku-sen (which goes right to Roppongi 1-chome).

Yep. That's me. Living in Meguro. 12 minutes on the Yamate to Shinagawa. Small studio, but adequate.
