“You’ll never make money faster than when you’re negotiating” Roger Dawson
After completing my study at Waseda University in Tokyo, Japan, I returned back to the US. Having sold just about everything before I left, one of the first things I had to do was purchase a car. Since I am a bit of a car fan, I had been planning and researching for quite some time. This knowledge of knowing exactly what the car was worth and knowing what I was willing to pay, allowed me to purchase a brand new car at a really great price. The price was so good I was able to sell the car a year later for a thousand more than I paid for it.
I have recently come across a three part guide explaining all the ins and outs of getting a great deal on a car. It is a very comprehensive set of articles and following the tips should help save a lot of money. Even if you manage to save just a $100 more than you were willing to pay, you are still making good money

Hey Nick, talking about graduating Waseda University. How was it? Did you understood and talk fluently in Japanese at the time?
I am interested to know because I am researching universities here in Japan. It seems to me that the only university that offers English-only classes in Temple University Japan Campus, though it does not offer the major I want to attain.

Carlos, I attended Waseda for a one year program. I had about two years study in the states before I came, but was no where near fluent. A year at Waseda certainly helped.
Waseda has a division they started about 5 years ago called “School of International Liberal Studies” or SILS for short. All of the classes are taught in English so not speaking Japanese is no problem at all.
Send me an e-mail with any questions you have and I am more than happy to answer them.
That sounds like a great program, though I am not sure if I would be interested in liberal arts. I am planning to move to the United States to get my education in Sports and Exercise Science; needless to say I am a fitness fanatic.
I really appreciate your offering for assistance though.
What did you study at Waseda?
Waseda doesn’t have a Degree in Sports, but they do have a lot of sports teams and clubs. I guess it just depends on what you want to do for your career. If you plan to work in Japan, then the school you attend is generally more important than the major you study.
I was an international business major and so studied business and culture classes as well as Japanese.
Let me know if you have any other questions, I am more than happy to help. If you like, I can also chat/talk with you over skype.
That sounds wonderful! It is good to feel to have the sincere support from a knowledgeable person such as yourself. I have to get an account in Skype so we can talk, it would certainly be a good experience for me.
Thanks for your suuport, you can e-mail me at my e-mail (found in my contact page) at any time and for any reason!
Carlos,
Let me know when you get skype and we can geet in touch. I will actually be leaving for the states in a few days, but should be able to set up a time for us to talk.
That is inspiring. really love it
