I get a couple of email newsletters on jobs in Japan. I noticed that today’s Gaijinpot has the following job listing. 
Shin-ei is looking for a Plumber who has at least more than 5 years of experience. Must be experienced in welding and plumbing works.
Description:
Plumbing work for the American Embassy building facilities.Salary is negotiable based on your skill
Working hrs:
08:30-17:30
Why do they need a foreigner to do the plumbing? Are they flushing classified documents down the toilet?
Apparently the US-Japan relationship is further in the crapper than we realize….
America is ruling in plumbing works also! They r not lacking behind in anything.
If anything goes wrong then they can say that there is foreign hand in it…….
