    Mark @[rebel.ranter] you can always say you wish to understand how business is done in APJ compared to EMEA in order to apply the same principles. Alternatively you can take on a "Global" project which will require for you to stay over at least two weeks to understand the culture and talk with all the different stakeholders? Makes sense? Last not least you can always say you went to the U.S. no?

    Food is cheaper than here actually, there's decent food u can get quite cheap. Like american style diners, they're called family restaurants, eg. i had a carbonara and my wife had a soup and some bread and it was less than a tenner, there's also fast food places for working people where you could get a curry for €6/7.

    Hotels, i'm not sure as we have free accommodation when we go over. Hotel could be similar to here. But if you can speak or read japanese you could find some cheap deals online but it would be difficult to find if not.

    I'm over and back to India a bit as it is and I'm on a plane for half of May, getting on to Tokyo might be a bit of a stretch. They kind of do their own thing over there too. I'm knee deep in Global projects as it is!
