A New Interactive Website- Japan Info Swap!!




I am proud to announce that the H&R Consultants Group has just launched a new website for the Expatriate Community of Japan. Called Japan Info Swap, the site has been designed for the Expat Community to interact with each other and trade information.

The site will be initially launched with 3 basic categories;

1. An Information Blog

This will provide useful information on both Japan-wide and local topics of interest. Basically think of it as an on-going newsletter. Naturally, comments can be posted against any entries and an interactive forum is encouraged.

2. A Question and Answer Corner

The most interactive part of this new community site is this Q&A section, which will allow members of the Expat community in Japan to share information and obtain good answers to unknown questions from other reliable and experienced members of the community. This will be a great place to find out things you have always been wanting to know from others in your community!

3. Classifieds Component

This section is aimed at assisting the Expat community to make recommendations and trade information, ideas and items. These classifieds will be ideal for Expats soon to arrive or leave Japan, as they will enable them to trade not only useful information on their communities, but also items such as furniture and appliances. For those of you who have left Japan before, you know how difficult it is to get rid of things, and for those of you who have arrived in Japan for the first time, you know how expensive it is to buy everything! We are looking to unite such like people! The classifieds section will also be a great place to make and verify recommendations on anything from restaurants to hospitals and doctors.

In summary, here is what we are aiming to do through this new site;

To provide a platform for foreigners in Japan to exchange information and share experiences both with each other and with those who are about to embark on their Japanese experience. To stimulate interaction between like members of the foreign community, and enhance the experience of everyone’s time in Japan.

Please go take a look! We are launching things in January and are looking forward to providing everyone with a network to have fun on! Naturally, we will continue to add further content and components in line with everyone's feedback!

WISHING EVERYONE A WONDERFUL 2008!
