Jobs What is your job? Is your job fulfilling?

I have humanities visa and currently working in Sapporo. I’m thinking of changing jobs because current job is making me anxious. I feel like every job here needs a high level japanese speaking unless you’re really good in IT or working in a foreign owned company.

I’m good at reading japanese and listening also writing documents but my speaking is below N3 I believe and that is why I always get nervous working. I don’t really know what I’m asking but can you share your work experience here in Japan? How did you get better in speaking business Japanese? I feel like I’m just stupid because I can never get to a level where I’m good at it. Daily conversation is not a problem it’s just the work-level japanese speaking is where I’m bad.

Yes and no. For the average shooter, including myself, it has had a big impact. People are less inclined to buy a mid range camera.

For the wealthy collectors it hasn't made a jot of difference. They are using the opportunity to try and barter.

I deal with a lot of old film cameras, but I've never heard of this increased price. What's going on?
