how about Australia!
It's amazing how so many people have never even come to Japan, yet they automatically figure living here is better than where they are now...and give no concrete reasons why.
Been living in Japan for 12 years. There ARE differences, and not all of them are in Japan's favor.
1. bank interest rate is less than 1% (more like 0.1-0.2%)
2. you constantly need a visa status to remain here
3. the language. need I say more?
4. how some of us are treated by locals.
5. business is conducted differently. aggressive U.S. attitudes do NOT prevail.
I was thinking more like "silly".if you choose Japan and yet have never even been here, you should at least give a concrete reason, otherwise you just seem aloof.
Please don't necropost. Especially for something as asinine as a one word reply that essentially contributes nothing. If you need some way to kill idle time and engage in your Japan infatuation go watch a cartoon or read a comic book or something.

well im sorry, i tend not to look at dates, usually if i want to post in a thread then i will regardless of how old it is or owt like that
However, when I leave Japan in the future (and I plant to), then it's either gonna be back to Europe or maybe Australia.
The U.S. has never been on my list, sorry!
It has been my opinion since I started learning more about Japan, that since even salarymen and housewifes read comics, that the US was ignorant in this respect. It is just another art form. To relegate it to children it seemed to me,
was a "tuff-guy" wankerish thing to do, maybe seen as childish be the same people who would tease you in school
for having a bicycle rather than a car. (And besides, most readership of US comics is adult too).
Manga to your tastes, of course.
. . . I hope to find a Japanese wife at some point.
