Newspapers
Now that you're settled you'll soon come to realize that picking
up an English book or magazine isn't quite as easy nor as cheap
as you've once thought. One alternative to keep your mind occupied
(thus sane) is to become a subscriber to one of Japan's newspapers.
Even though you may not be interested in the headlines, job classifieds
can be plentiful. One thing that we would like to point out is
that Japanese newspapers are quite pricey, but if it keeps you
happy isn't that what counts? Below is a list of Japanese Newspapers
on-line.
Asahi Evening News
Daily Yomiuri
Japan Times
Mainichi Daily News
Magazines
The major cities have one or more English-language magazines to keep you up
to date on events, eating out, movies and so on. Some are even avaialable for free.
Tokyo's long-standing leader is Metropolis (formerly Tokyo Classified) which you
can pick up at restaurants and bars around town.
Foreign English-language magazines, such as Time and Newsweek, are available
at major bookstores such as Kinokuniya and Maruzen. But if you don't want to
traipse there every week or month or just want to save some money, subscription
is the way to go. ELT News readers can get a special discount on subscriptions
to Time magazine, for example. See here
for details.
