Pharaohmon im on a working holiday visa...

Anyway i quit the job.. place is crazy.. normal day is from 10am to 12pm, 6 days a week... only one meal... kitchen is super fucking small, not fonctional... beside the chef there is only 3 cooks and they running like demons nobody had time to show me anything... really understaffed place... didnt like the way they work either, so much waste ...

so what's the plan now?

10am to 12pm as in 2 hour work day? O.o

Not in a kitchen. If you tried that you'd prolly get physically beaten.

are you able to speak any japanese?
if not, or even if you only know a small amount, how are you fining/adjusting to being in japan with the language barrier?
is it possible to travel there and survive without knowing a lick of japanese?

edit: gl finding a new job
