mayhem

Hey all, i have two topics i was hoping you could help with: 1. Buying a pre-paid phone when I arrive in tokyo. When i arrive i need to get one but I am unsure where I should get one? who are good caariers? how much should i expect to pay? any tips would be great.... 2. Working at skifields, either Nagano or Niseko, are you usually paid in cash, or do you need to have a bank account? if so does anyone know about setting one up, any webiste links of people with previous experience or recomendations? Thanks!!

Hey all... I was just wondering about working in Niseko. I am an Australian and I am organising a working holiday VISA currently. I was hoping someone who has done this before may have some advice: I am trying to search for jobs on the internet now. Is their any places / employers anyone can recomend? Am I best applying over the internet first or just seeing employment when i get to Japan? When is a good time to apply, am i little early looking now? Any good advice would be greatly appreciatted!!! Thanks all D
