Longest flight for me was when I went to San Diego with my family years ago.

I'm also bringing my ipod and 2 sets of earphones (just in case)

It shouldn't be too bad.
I'd recommend an aisle seat if you can on the long flight. Being able to get up and walk around easily is very nice.

Depending on who you are flying with airplanes have a good selection of movies, tv shows, documentaries, and games to play for international flights. But it depends and some are now charging for the tv shows but not movies now.

There is a train line that runs through Narita, its kind of hard to miss.
Yeah, I know. It's just that I have tons of luggage.
Are you moving over for a specific time duration (limited contract) or for an unspecified "long time"?
At least one year.

Is the HR at the company helping you relocate?

Several things I recommend as an expat:
1. Have a contract that specifies what relocation costs -if any- the company will be paying for
2. Try to get in the contract financial assistance with taxes, both for Japan and US
3. See if there is an official (state sponsored) international community that you can join. Where you have the ability to get advice on visa types, intergration questions, and basic questions like "how to set-up and pay my electric bill?" (DK you can pay monthly, bi-yearly, yearly, etc but default is yearly).

I have a lot more suggestions but having a precise contract and getting involved in a community, I think, is essential.
They're basically putting me into the company apartment and will reserve a hotel if needed (but it would come out of my pocket for the hotel. Apartment is mostly covered by the company.)

Not sure on the taxes, gotta read the mail he sent me again.

The only thing I'm worried about is:
my medication (honestly, I might only need 6 months of it instead of a year, I can do 1 a day instead of 2 lol)
blood sugar monitor and strips

Idk bout the monitor but i read that i can bring 2 months of meds with no problem.

Bill paying in Japan is very simple. Most companies (gas, water, power, cell phone, etc.) send you a bill with bar codes on them these days. Take these bills to any convenience store and they will scan the bills and charge you accordingly.
Can one do this in USA? None of my bills come with bar codes ;;

In parts of the USA you can do this. When I was living in a downtown loft in PHX you could just go to an ATM like machine at the local circle K and pay all your bills there.

In DK we do bank transfers for payment, for basically everything, with no added cost.

The word bigot has lost all meaning for me...

In other news I just got confirmation that I was indoctrinated as a child... I never did ask my parents why they made me brush my teeth every day.

The world is opening up to me!

You brush them or you become OP. You don't want to become OP, do you?
