You cannot simply go to Japan and start working. You need a Visa from the Japanese Government to be allowed to work there. To get such a visa, you need to have University degree, as well as an employer who will sponsor you. You cannot look for such employer on 'Temporary Visitor' Status, and can only be obtained from outside Japan.

If you'd like to work as a farmer in Japan easily, you need to get married with Japanese citizen. You don't need any particular degree or money. It is the best and only one realistic solution..

Try the site below. You can work on a organic farm. You won't be paid, but they will give you room and board for your work. These are real farms & not for tourists looking for fun. Not a silly question if you're serious about working. I've heard some of these farms are so far inland they can't even watch TV.

You can come to Japan and "volunteer" on a farm in rural parts of Japan under the WWOOF program. WWOOF is a means to friendship, travel & experience has entirely nothing to do with money or employment, because of this, you can come to Japan as a "Temporary Visitor" (Tourist Visa), because you are not getting paid any money, but you get a chance to experience rural Japan and working on a farm. About 20% of people who WWOOF are temporary visitors/tourists. Citizens of Austria are allowed to stay in Japan for up to 6 months or less under the Visa Waiver program as a Temporary visitor. My friend from France (who lives in Tokyo now) did WWOOF in a rural part of Japan around Shikoku, he said it was hard but he enjoyed it. Check it out here: http://www.wwoofjapan.com

I would like to know if my GHD styler is adaptable in the UK (coming from Austria)?
I'm moving to the UK from Austria and I bought the GHD styler IV (model 4.2B). On the styler it says its good for 11-230V, but I know the UK is 240V. So will it work?

You'll need an adapter to plug it in with, then it might work for a little while but the voltage will prob be too high so it will prob burn out rather quickly! Best leave it behind with a loved one and buy another when you get settled in UK.

Is there anyone out there, that is fluent in both English and German that would mind keeping in touch with me

Is there anyone out there, that is fluent in both English and German that would mind keeping in touch with me?
I'm planning on spending the next couple of summers in Austria and am currently working on becoming fluent in the German language. I'm looking for someone(possibly a friend) fluent in German and English who would be willing to keep in touch (at the risk of sounding greedy) so as to help me with my German and simply chat.

If you don't need to work and have enough money it should be a lot of fun, i went to the Netherlands it wasn't a party finding work, dealing with the government - car licence, accommodation, permission to stay, registration, paying bills, the language barrier setting up a bank account being thrown into the gutter when sick by a girlfriend etc, while people supported by a big company have all this provided. Look German is my third language and find it to be a very big ( many words ) language, and ( with the very up most respect to the German people ) because my understanding or lack there of - i find it a bit monotone and very fast spoken language, and its a very intelligent language ( maybe why i haven't mastered it yet. If you are Yong and have somewhere to stay even better if you have some family there - it would be a westerners dream accomplishment . If when you are over there and need advice just contact me on steenenterprise@yahoo.com i can even read a bit of German , i would be interested to know how you are going in Germany . ( but I'm not fluent in German ).

Native speaker living in Germany, IM me katrein_v, I could help you. Yes, I do agree, that German is a monotone language in comparison to Czech or English which I am also able to speak. And be aware, for foreigners German is hard to learn, I heared that several times.
