Your responsibilities are first to those that depend on you... got no kids?
GO EXPERIENCE LIFE.


Is your new wife joining you or are you flying solo? Just curious what her take is, even if it doesn't matter... (JUST KIDDING )

No disrespect, but given your current situation, I think your priorities to yourself and wife, are AFU'd... but that's just me. The Million dollar question is, what's your plan B for employment after you return home?

So you have a real job and you are saying fuggit. In this economy that is as stupid of a decision as I have ever heard. Grow up, this thread is not amusing. I see regret in your future.

I may suggest:

1. If you do not have hotel yet, consider staying near Tokyo Station: easy transportation to Narita, most attraction are in walking distance. I usually use http://asiahotels.com/
2. Use bus from airport - very comfortable, not much more expensive than train
3. Use ATM for cash, not currency exchange.
4. Get PASMO card for metro / trains in Tokio. The benefit is that you do not need coins each time. You can add money to the card as you need. Also, in Tokyo you have to buy subway ticket depending on destination station. With map in Japanese it is not easy. With card you just scan it on both stations.
5. Hong Kong subway is simple, but Tokyo is extremely confusing, with Seoul close second. I use Tube2 on PDA for navigation there. http://handheld.softpedia.com/get/Ed...PC-12945.shtml
6. Most of museums are near Ueno station. Akihabara (electronics toys) is 15 minutes walk but better to visit in the evening. Go to fish market early (before 6am) morning. Tokyo Teleport and Toyota center are worth visiting. I walk across Rainbow bridge once, but better to take monorail. Go to Imperial palace garden. Try to walk as much as you can, this is the way to see this city.
7. You can find a lot inexpensive small food places.
8. If you have a chance, go to Osaka. There are also direct flights to US from there, at least on United.

I don't think that THINKING has anything to do with any of his recent decisions.
