http://www.us.emb-japan.go.jp/englis...a/visa/faq.htm It isn't much different than China where my son spent last summer in Beijing. He got a specific visa to work in a research lab for specific time under a University exchange program. Actually, for that matter it might be difficult for me to "retire in Canada" these days as simply saying "I want to live there and spend money" doesn't seem to be a pass anymore (since I'd be using community services).

Strong 5 shindo (M6) in Fukushima, 3 mins ago. (Tri may correct me on that, since news is still comin in)
Epicentre is on the ground, so no fear of a tsunami. I was cursing out the Earth in my room, but those guys must be losing it a little more than me Also is it getting bad when we have the world shaking strongly so many times a day that I can't be arsed to panic and have began to ignore half of them? Ah, good morning. It's another day, and I'm alive, albiet a little shaken. x.x;;

btw, what's with all the earthquakes? chain reaction or something? when is the best guess of when they will stop, and will this chain of earthquakes trigger a fault further away, such as the one that caused the 2004 tsunami or the one off the west coast of North America to cause an Earthquake?

Normally, you get a visa that lets you in for an extended period of time when someone says they want you there for an extended period of time. This could range from some giant multinational transferred me to an office in Japan, to I have a wife/husband who lives in Japan I would love to be with them. generally, you have a very good reason to be in Japan if you are a foreigner in Japan for an extended period of time. |

Another massive one, oi oi.... enough already x.x I think the same place, same level, 2 within 20mins. This isn't stopping... Pic for recent Kanto levels (You should be able to see 2 red dots with a '5' - ah there was one closer to Tokyo I guess) Spoiler:
Next time, I'll shut up about saying 'I'm kinda getting used to these', only to get then thrown 2 fairly strong quakes just to remnd me who's in charge here (Mother Nature), since no one can get used to levels 4 and above, ever... *laughs weakly* PS: Can you actually see my pics? For some reason I cannot see my images or youtube videos when i post recently...

This is why after strong earthquakes, there can be many smaller earthquakes, unless a similarily big one is in the making at the same fold.

Uhm, not really, I was talking about elasticty not inertia. Think of jelly, a high jelly pudding. Now move it slowly against a spoon. The outer wall of the jelly will withstand for a certain time and the jelly pudding wil bent elastically. But then suddenly the wall will break (no you have your earthquake on the top...) and then the spoon wil slowly glide into the jelly (thats supposed to be the smaller earthquakes)... well unfortunately the jelly comparison is not ideal ^^'

Latest news, this time, epicentre hit in the sea, we're told to be very careful, though there should be no issues with any tsunamis.
The 5 areas are Ibaraki, Saitama, Tokyo, Kanagawa and Chiba. Spoiler:
I'm stepping out, hopefully the trains will be okay, but I think I need outta my room for a bit x.x;; PS: Sorry my inbox is full, feel free to drop a msg on my profile wall

I have a feeling that, in the next few months, my country would be (by men with questionable reasons) importing those water-logged wrecks as "surplus":

I guess another good thing is that the Pentagon just announces the entire US military are there to stay for the disaster and relief effort and wont be leaving or evacuating like several news stations claimed because of the radiation fears. For now, the Reagan and rest of the 7th fleet are practically essential/irreplacabke for transporting and supplying logistics also heavy equipments, at least until the Japanese are back on their own feet. Oddly enough, from some news/forum and some Japanese friends I have, the US military presence helping also significantly boost the morale of the Japanese themselves moreso than their own government.......
