Tokyo? No Problem Teresa Ramsay

TIMELESS INFORMATION FOR THE NEWCOMER! Most Japan guides try to be all things to all people - the tourist/newcomer combined - with bits of information scattered about and minimal emphasis on acquiring the language. Then there is Tokyo? No Problem - a comprehensive, hands-on book dedicated to the newcomer to Japan. It presents the information newcomers want to know and need to know while helping them acquire the Japanese language - gradually. For a newcomer, having the right information and the knowledge how to use it will not only reduce the stress and fear of moving abroad, but also hasten integration into Japanese society in a calm, pleasant manner. With this take-everywhere guide, the user will be able to decipher accommodation ads, secure desired lodging, set up house, fill out forms, subscribe to services, decode signs, read labels, order in restaurants/bars, identify grocery items, relay health matters, cope with emergencies, shop with assurance, travel with confidence and so much more - while using Japanese. There are sections on visa changes, tax filings, health insurance, legal matters and other administrative dealings that the newcomer will surely encounter during their stay. For leisure, there are chapters on preparing Japanese dishes, participating in local festivals and enjoying museums, gardens and parks in Tokyo. There are teaching tables, functional phrases, deciphering techniques, vital phone numbers, useful websites and money-saving tips. Visit www.tokyonoproblem.com to learn more.
