Thanks, already did that. They said it was impossible to change, unless I got a new name...and that sounded fishy..that's why I was asking here.

I'm planning to change from a working (Specialist in Humanities) to spouse visa. We married in Japan, but I'm wondering what documents we need...searched online but got several different replies.

Thinking of switching carriers. I want good reception, a family plan (free if possible) and decent smartphone. Currently have an old iphone, but might upgrade to something better...
Anyways just...

Yokohama bank in Yokosuka, near the Chuo stn will give you a bank acct w/o a gaijin card. Go there with a Japanese speaking person (if you can't speak for yourself) and say you need an acct to pay...

If you really need to send "cash" why not send Traveller's checks? They are insured if lost or stolen and you can sign them over to yourselif or your bank acct. That's what I do every time I want to...

LOL at your for checking ALL my posts.

I think it's highly possible that I have quite a few friends.

What are some recommended chain restaurants, cool points of interest and fun things to do other than the regular temple routes?
I'm going to be staying very close to Osaka station and travelling by...

Thanks! I'm going to look into that. But you can't record movies on those right? I forgot to mention that I like to burn my movies to dvd...

Many of you know of my past computer woes and now I have a black screen of death after the vista logo loads.

I'm figuring it's time to just buy a new laptop. I don't need anything fancy, I...

to you all for helping me with this crazy problem! I really really appreciate all of your advice!

Yesterday I went and bought a wireless USB from Yamada for less than 2000yen (woohoo) and hooked...

Thanks for all of the advice. I'm going to head out and buy a wireless usb. What's the price range I should expect at Yamada?

If that fails, I will probably end up using a friends comp to finish...

Followed this to the T. No such luck tho.
Thanks for offering that as a solution tho. Any other options?

Now my icons on the home screen are all oversized and I keep getting "Microsoft Visual...

Sorry if my posts seem vague; I will try to explain as detailed as possible.

I did the "restore from a previous working date" within the computer. It failed, so everything looks and works the...

I downloaded all the drivers to the USB and tried reinstalling. It said everything was already up to date. Could it be that the whole wireless modem is dead? Now buy an external wireless USB? Will...

Thanks for the advice. I'm downloading them now and planning to try this.

If all else fails, I will fork money over to yamada for the wireless usb.

Ok sorry for the second response. I'm going to try and download the drivers from my friends comp first and save to a flash drive then install on my comp. I think I can do that...I hope geez.

All...

I'm accessing the net via my iphone, which is annoying with the tiny screen.

I checked device manager and it has yellow error marks all under the "network adapter"--leading me to believe it's just...

Sorry for my late response folks but I have completely no access to the Internet from my computer. I'm so NOT computer savvy so I will try to explain the best I can. My compaq is from 2006. (maybe...

I'm using an Compaq laptop (running English OS and Vista) and recently the wireless router (my internet access) in the laptop doesn't work. I took it to PCDepot and the guy there said they could fix...

Sorry I was really hoping for some bigger hooters...those look disappointingly small...

Honestly he seemed straight as an arrow and I have pretty good gaydar. He swore he wasn't gay/bi, just "occasionally like getting poked in the bootyhole" LMAO~~

Well...basically we got into an argument, cause I told her he was a pushover. But she did say (before all that) they were going to go to the city hall and speak to a "case lawyer"~~~other than that...

To the best of my knowledge, I never said I was the person in my avatar.
And if i did, it was truly a joke.

As far as my dating record goes, I used to be married to an American and then...

Thanks.
They said pay by next wk, but she said she can pay end of the month.
But they said um sooner.
And then they asked for her job number.
She said "i don't have it on me now" (which was true)...

Totally clueless, but I've heard that I can get a little bit of dough back from it...how does one go about doing this?
