I am sorry you are distressed. What is the matter? Not sure where you lived before your move. I know it can be lonely if you don't have any family close by. I looked at Gifu on the map, it seems like the city was big. You must get out & look around. I made a big move once, & what helped me was getting newspapers, magazines that said what was going on in the area. I went to events & met people. My move was in the states, so there was no language problem, but if you don't speak Japanese, you could learn. Its not that hard.
Always look for the postive in everything, even if it is as small as a grain of sand.
 
i go there once a year at least. my girlfriend lives in osaka, and we're still thinking of our future. We're not sure we want to live in Japan or Europe. Until we take a decision, we'll have to share our lives between Italy and Japan
 
Well, both places are beautiful, but very different. A really nice thing is, your close to water in both places. I hate being away from the ocean. It somehow feeds my soul. In my worst times in life, I go to the beach, and it makes me feel better. If I could I would live on a boat, & never come to land except to pick up supplies.
 
mh unfortunely italy is not the same as some years ago. I seriously doubt I want my(our) future to be here. Not a bad idea about the sea
 
I am now looking at the world, as which place is more stable, as far as jobs, safety, and being able to control your own destiny to some degree.
Things seem to be a little more scary & unsure these days.
 
not yet ... T________T
but i'm planning to go there in about 1 or 2 years for some 10 days or so and a few times more to get used to it
i'm planning to come back there for some work experience at a german school in japan and then working there as a teacher and most likely to move there finally.

I live in the most expensive place in Tokyo (that's what I think peepz)..
I do study and some part-time jobs to survive....
I used to go to pool, jakuzi, steam, onzen during my free time (actually it's every weekends)..
I love bars around Roppongi (gaspanic, 911 & lot more (´・ω・｀)))~ ).. they plays lots of genre....

ヨロ～。。。
 
I lived in Okinawa from 2001 to 2004. Personally, I thought it was amazing and I plan to go back the first chance I get.

Hi there all!

I was fortunate enough to spend 8 whole months in the beautiful country of Japan (Okinawa). Simply put, it was an amazing period in my life.
 
I intend to go there sometime in the next few years but before then I need to finish/start my GCSEs and A-Levels and then I am definitely moving to Japan, although I would like to go and live theer in the summer with a Japanese family and maybe do some sort of exchange in the future, I need to do lots of research and get more fluent in Japanese :3
 
I have not visited Japan yet. I have seen it thru documentaries, movies, stuff like that, but can't wait to actually be there. I spend alot of my time here in the states working, & trying to keep fit, since I sit all day on my job. Weekends I like to go to the beach , coffee shops, fun dance clubs, stuff like that. I saw on TV that in Japan they have alot of family bars that serve food, drinks. It seems like it would be very easy to meet & make friends there.

I saw some, but they were just giving tissues at the tube entrance.
 
my relationship to Japan totally complicated.

I love Japan, and at the same time I recently discovered I am related to Japan.

I've never been to Japan but I hope one day that will change. I would like to try living there.
 
i've never been to japan...
i really want to go... :dreaming mode on:
*_^
 
Never been to Japan.. Would love to be there and study there...

Admire the fact that Public transport (trains) are emphasized a lot in Japan. Love traveling by trains

Admire the fact that Japanese spend a lot on R&D

Love the Shinkansens
 
My relation with japan deals with the influence of styles and massive amounts of variety in the dress and how people be themselves through art.
 
I've lived there twice before. I've backpacked from one end of the country (知床反動国立公園) to the other (長崎), visited several times since then, plan to move back permanently in about four years.
 
Hello everyone, I'm currently living in Kobe and plan to live here for 3 more years at least until I graduate(I study at Kobe university)... Whenever I have spare time I plan to bother you a lot with my radical point of view
 
I moved to Okinawa last June and I will be here for another 2-3 years...am trying to move to Tokyo after that..but only time will tell.
 
I've never been in Japan unfortunately although i will surely go at least once as a tourist... my dream is to live there but that's not entirely up to me soooo, time will tell!
 
I studied Japanese for a couple of years and just took a trip to Japan last month.
