...we have this gem:

Secretary to Senior Japanese Lawmaker

The private office of a high-profile Japanese lawmaker from the Democratic Party of Japan is currently seeking a female JET Alumnus, preferably a CIR, for the position of Secretary.

The candidate must be a native English speaker and have a high level of spoken and written Japanese (at least JLPT 2) as well as good all-round communication and interpersonal skills. An interest in Japanese politics would be an advantage but is not essential.

Tasks include reading the foreign press and translating appropriate articles, translating weekly reports from foreign contacts, handling telephone inquiries and contributing to the daily running of the office. The candidate must also assist in coordinating international visits or programs should they occur.

The position would be ideal for a recent JET who is interested in working in a typical Japanese office environment. There are great opportunities for networking and meeting various high-profile Japanese politicians.

A salary of approximately 300,000 yen per month plus accommodation within a 10 minutes walk from the office in Akasaka will be provided.

Oh, Japanese men. Look what centuries of societal catering to your every whim has brought you to.

I am just tickled by the way our guy assumes a college educated professional Western woman would want to be the tea-server, errand-runner, trophy foreign female office mascot, and sexual harrassment punching bag for an aging Japanese buristocrat.

That will be all.

Hurry up and come home already! I think I've roped Mom and Dad into taking us to the King Tut exhibit. : ) I miss you, kitty!

I wouldn't recommend the King Tut exhibit; I thought it was a complete waste of money. The ticket's expensive; a lot of the stuff's a "reproduction" of what *might* have been in use in ancient Egypt; and there are too many of the wrong kind of people--as in alive, not dead. What's a King Tut exhibit without mummies?

Ah, but we're still hurting from missing the Pompeii exhibit. (Had tix but the rents didn't want to bum around for 3 hours until our scheduled time). Also, we have museum memberships, which makes it less expensive, and a trip to the museum is a trip into CIVILIZATION, which is an important mitigating factor!
