i wonder if there are several members in this forum who are foreigners living in Japan or if there are also japanese in here. if so, do you use a japanese company for your webhosting?, do u have a website in japanese or in english with Adsense? and i also wonder where u get the lowest bank commission for ur Adsense cheques in Japan. UFJ? ; ) by the way, im also gaijin, doing my masters in Tokyo. (gaijin=foreigner in casual japanese, though some guys dont think is casual but derogatory, they like more the formal word gaikokujin... whatever i like and i use gaijin)
