Military intelligence was very interested in me when I was a finishing highschool. I went a very different route after graduating and deciding unit wasn't for me (yet). We were scared as shit about being drafted to infantry right after 9/11, though. I actually reached out to the cia and/or fbi to try to be helpful and maybe land a job. They kindly told me to get a degree and try again.
Thank you. I'm also a Canadian citizen so, if family really needed to meet and weren't dying, we'd probably go to Windsor or something and have them meet us there.
I'm a us citizen living in Japan and I wouldn't consider. Unless someone's dying, I'm staying out. Taking my non-white wife who barely speaks any English is 100% out of the question.
This is me. We had a public holiday the other day and, since the weather wasn't great, I decided to start a new project to write code because I enjoy it. Also, Twitch's event/API documentation does not spark joy (weird grammar like "one of the following" what looks like a partially deleted line; response/requests that are in tables aligned by a number (only two, so good luck people like me) spaces to indicate level, and just plain wrong and missing info ("this API responds 202" -- LIAR!).
Building standards are improving but, yeah, slowly. Kominka over 100 years can have really good structure if well maintained, but it definitely would not be something who isn't already knowledgeable about them. The majority fall into ruin.
Work visas allow for longer, but you need corporate sponsorship
While this is mostly true (there are ways around a sponsor in some cases), there are other visas available such as business investment options. Those, however, take money and I assume anyone who could do it wouldn't be interested in a < 4k USD house.
Are you saying this particular house or in general? I live and work in Japan and bought a house a year ago. I actually looked at the property linked or a similar one, but noped out of it.
To get a visa? Not really. To get permanent status? It's still hard but getting easier (spouse 3 years, working visa 10 years, anyone with enough points in the point system after either 1 or 3 years can apply for PR. Probably more cases I don't know).
The last major earthquake revision was in 1981 so anything with planning approval before that is going to cause a ton of headaches. There have been many minor revisions since then, but they usually don't apply when considering loans, insurance, etc.
That 30 minute walk is going to suck in Hanamaki's winters. I assume they get it worse than the more central area that I know which has no shortage of snow.
