If I ever move back to Japan I'm going to get the manual license and see how long it takes me to acclimate to that. I didn't have problems with the stereo and HVAC controls, but the windshield wiper and turn signal stalks messed me up. And then they did it again when we moved back here!

There aren't many JDM cars I'd be interested in buying here. Id rather just move back and drive them in their native land. The used car market there is insane, with so many super cheap options. Just have to be conscious of the sha-ken.

Great article. I enjoyed reading about your experience, sort of the reverse of... Derek Kreindler? Was it he who moved out to Japan and brought his T&C with him? I remember the article on track at this moment and no more. Please accept my apologies if I got it wrong.
