    There is plenty of cocaine in Japan, if you're into that thing. "Coke and whores" is an expression in my office. Just a way to illustrate "being up to no good". Nobody does either, that I know of.

    I was under the impression that Japan applied extremely strict rules and policing with regards to drugs?

    That just means you have to be more careful. In all honesty, when I was a younger man, it was one of those "whatever" things. Never heard of anyone getting busted. Then eventually someone figured out that everyone was getting fucked up, so they started actively hunting people. Apparently the police went on a rampage when I was in Honolulu for two years.

    trust me, you don't want to get busted. Narcotics police are scary and very bossy! (or so a couple of clients tell me ;p )

    I've had plenty of 3rd hand experience. And it's not the "police" your clients are talking about, it's the keiji (detectives). They handle the interrogation. Call you whitey and everything.

    Definitely not unless you're military personnel. And they would definitely ask me what the fuck is up w/ my taxes. I found my 2005 return completed, and filed away nicely in my fucking closet the other day. :(

    Don't you pay your taxes to the Japanese? No need for a US tax return then, surely?

    Americans are special. As rulers of the world (or at least being part of the regime that does so), we are the only free country whose citizens must file a tax return even when they are not residents. See below.

    http://www.taxmeless.com/page4.html

    There is the foreign earned income exclusion which makes the first $85,700 of foreign earned income tax free. Most English teachers are off the hook.

    I lived in Hawaii for 2005 though, so I have no excuse. I actually paid, just didn't file.
