Longest flight for me was when I went to San Diego with my family years ago.
I'm also bringing my ipod and 2 sets of earphones (just in case)
It shouldn't be too bad. I'd recommend an aisle seat if you can on the long flight. Being able to get up and walk around easily is very nice.
Depending on who you are flying with airplanes have a good selection of movies, tv shows, documentaries, and games to play for international flights. But it depends and some are now charging for the tv shows but not movies now.

There is a train line that runs through Narita, its kind of hard to miss. Yeah, I know. It's just that I have tons of luggage. Are you moving over for a specific time duration (limited contract) or for an unspecified "long time"? At least one year.
Is the HR at the company helping you relocate?
Several things I recommend as an expat:
1. Have a contract that specifies what relocation costs -if any- the company will be paying for
2. Try to get in the contract financial assistance with taxes, both for Japan and US
3. See if there is an official (state sponsored) international community that you can join. Where you have the ability to get advice on visa types, intergration questions, and basic questions like "how to set-up and pay my electric bill?" (DK you can pay monthly, bi-yearly, yearly, etc but default is yearly).
I have a lot more suggestions but having a precise contract and getting involved in a community, I think, is essential. They're basically putting me into the company apartment and will reserve a hotel if needed (but it would come out of my pocket for the hotel. Apartment is mostly covered by the company.)
Not sure on the taxes, gotta read the mail he sent me again.
The only thing I'm worried about is:
my medication (honestly, I might only need 6 months of it instead of a year, I can do 1 a day instead of 2 lol)
blood sugar monitor and strips
Idk bout the monitor but i read that i can bring 2 months of meds with no problem.

Quote: Bill paying in Japan is very simple. Most companies (gas, water, power, cell phone, etc.) send you a bill with bar codes on them these days. Take these bills to any convenience store and they will scan the bills and charge you accordingly. Can one do this in USA? None of my bills come with bar codes ;;

In parts of the USA you can do this. When I was living in a downtown loft in PHX you could just go to an ATM like machine at the local circle K and pay all your bills there.

In DK we do bank transfers for payment, for basically everything, with no added cost.

The word bigot has lost all meaning for me...
In other news I just got confirmation that I was indoctrinated as a child... I never did ask my parents why they made me brush my teeth every day.
The world is opening up to me!

Since we all can't be on the same linkshell in game, this can be our cross server linkshell thread.
Like most linkshells, it can be pretty dead at times. Other times it's full of intense conversations about either rl, gear, goals, pokemon or anything else you want to contribute.
We can cover any sort of topic at all, within reason of the forum rules. No real main topic, just a bunch of FFXIAH friends/people coming on and discussing random things.

Update: Sorry Eternaltriumph, too much has changed D: (Page 698)
Eternaltriumph said: Yeah Chuu. Bringing you up to speed, Ludoggy is the LS pedophile. I'm the fountain of random and useless knowledge that makes you go "Hrm" with the occasional side of "holy shit he said what?"
Kungfu is the LS nutjob, spouting super random things that are usually sexist, until Savvy or Alyria comes into the room. Then he's a classic case of sexual harrassment. Rumaha is also true to the second part; we're wondering about his sexuality though.
Daj is Ludoggy's gay lover. Not much else is known about this Asuran. Tairo is kinda new, but since is a female and Alyria's lesbian lover, she fit right in real quick.
Celene(F) and Rowland(M) are more of the shyer members, but often say things that are witty, have a good pun and sometimes cause three page discussions. Celene hates when people hit on her. It doesn't stop them from trying.
Krizz is just social and likes to kill time here during work Tbest is about the same, except tends to be a douche to guys and affectionate toward girls.
Alyria is the most social female, gets groped a lot without provoking it by others, and Tairo ends up stabbing people for it. Cai is just a barrel of lols, I might be gay for him. If I wasn't straight.
Not sure about Citag, s/he's new. Kiriyu is just an in-out kinda person. Says one thing every three days that every guy makes a big fuss over. Ludoggy gets really defensive since she's asian and underage (might be 18 now).
Artem is the wayward soul that makes you ponder the meaning of life by constantly reminding us life can suck. But he deals, and so do we. About the same for Savannah, except people are more "AWH!" to her because of a vagina involved.
Dasva is the ex military man (as is Krizz but this doesn't apply to him) who hates the world and plots a way to destroy most of it.
Number2 is kinda like a mix between Cai and I; never bashes, likes to laugh and has odd avatars. His current suits a lot of the convos this LS gets into. Barti is most well known for his moustache. He gives mousatche rides for a fee. I'm missing a few people but whatever. CARRY ON!
Luelle Smells.
