Hows it goin Rezz?
I have decided to move to Sapporo next year to live for a couple years and I have a few questions that you might or might not be able to help me with. I am half Japanese and have been and worked in Japan before mainly in hospitality ie bars and restaurants. This time round however I am considering teaching English which I have no experience at but I hear is very enjoyable and would like to give it a go part time. Was just wondering about your thoughts on teaching English, what you have heard from other Aussies teaching over there and if it is difficult?
Also, I have many friends over there who own restaurants both Japanese and Westerners who have asked me to bring Aussie wine over for them, I was interested in exporting a variety of Australian wines in fairly decent quatities to sell to various restaurants around Sapporo. I can get the wine quite cheap but the logistics is something I dont know about eg export and associated costs, I need to research into it a little more but thought that I would ask you first if you would know anything about it ie costs, laws or even contacts that may be of use to me.
Lastly, what do you do with yourself over there?
Thanks for your time, any response would be appreciated.
