Chris,

Thanks for sharing.

How do you survive there without speaking Japanese

tough
body language, iphone apps, write in english n chinese

[terrenceterrence]

Young Japanese can read english very well. So writing out in english is not much a problem.

Did you get a chance to go to Nakano in Tokyo to visit Kame-kichi and Jack Road? tons of preowned and vintage to see

All depend on what u eat...
If ramen everday then cheaper
If seafood everday then different
Transport also need to plan well
