JAPAN is the BEST country in the world. PROOF.

[Trillical]

Don't like a the culture and language, a bit annoying imo. Beautiful people though and great work ethic.

[vindemiatrix]

Wouldn't say one country is better than another, but I'm really trying to visit Japan next year. Fingers crossed

Amazing country but I wouldn't want to live there permanently, at least not in Tokyo. Loved how clean and polite everyone is. The Shinkansen is godly.

[rhinger]

also 90% of the men are beta awkward *******s, so that works out well for you if youre into japanese wimminz

[IdleD]

I'll let u brahs in on a little secret.

The Japanese people, almost 90% of them are well aware that Japan might one day disappear from the world ( Earthquakes, natural disasters, Nuclear war etc ) but they're okay with that. Everyone's just living and waiting to die, some of them, mostly Japanese people who watches American TV or Hollywood movies, believe that there's more to life than just working / sleeping 24/7.

These people will of course, move out of Japan ( me ) and explore the world while the rest will remain and possibly die with the country in the near future.


Just my 2 cents.

Yep. Strong fatalism with respect to that stuff as well as declining population, etc. Sadly it seems fewer young people have an interest in learning about and/or spending time overseas. Becoming more insular and resigned to its fate.

if i dont know japanese and dont want to be an english teacher is there any chance of getting some sort of job there?

For a work visa I think you need to be sponsored by an employer. Not sure what work you'd do if you don't speak the language. Maybe bartender or waiter or something in a bar that just caters for foreigners. Might be some low level positions in international companies depending on your skills (e.g. IT or document specialist with high level desktop publishing skills). I think I know of some people who have come over and gotten into recruitment with no Japanese language skills. Not sure how easy it is to come over on a tourist visa and then switch to a working visa. They're pretty strict about that stuff. I think you probably also need a university degree. To be honest, coming over as an English teacher would be your best bet in terms of getting a visa and pay. I know people who have done that to get a visa, then built up their language skills before trying to find other positions.

I'm not about to go to a country and slam blurred out vaginas..groce

Extremely high suicide rates and rapidly declining population indicate otherwise

[BertmanReturns]

Japan is nice. But definitely not the greatest.
I don't like xenophobic people though.

[Juggertha]

Japan's crime stats are massaged.

Found a dead guy in the river with his throat slit? Well, we're not sure it's murder, so lets just call it a death! lol

[subutai]

Also, there's a fuk ton of restaurants and bars that are "Japanese only". Can only imagine the **** storm that would occur in America or the UK if we had signs saying "white people only"

There's a reason why Japan has been successful in modernising while preserving its safety, culture and traditions.
That reason is homogeneity.

[StillFat53]

The nordic countries are vastly superior to small and stuffy Japan. The western perception of the country is not true based on what people who actually live there day.

[DaftTommy]

Ireland was actually voted Europes best country ever in the world in 2014.


Srs.

I visited Japan twice, was there for about a month both times.

It was vacation, so I can't speak for what its like to actually live there, but I had a ton of fun. I love their ramen, and the people were generally very respectful and nice to me (I'm from the US).

Don't forget that Japan does not have a tipping culture, and it is even considered rude to try and tip them for services. Every restaurant I went to the waiters were ON TOP of their sh!t, and they were polite as fuk.

brb tipping $20 on any given meal in my home country just to have the half-retarded waitress treat me like an d-bag.

The one thing that did surprise me is that some things are randomly low-tech, or they'll be really cheesy looking (aka trying to look high tech but actually are just stupid).

this article rings true to me:

If I could land a sick IT job like I have at home in tokyo, I'd move there for sure. ****ing great place, awesome food, and nice people.

OP if you are %100 Zhōngguó ren how can you like Japan?

srs...I thought Chinese hated Japan because of all the horrible **** they did to you

[sh3156]

Any country where men are worked to the bone until they become socially awkward ******* who have to pay women to cuddle with them is not the best

Indifferent if any material advances. The only reason there is no crime there is BC most crimes are committed by men and the men population is beyond beta we are talking about nearly all men

If you arent a social ******* go to Japan get laid every night regardless of looks

[K3Fallout]

I just want to live out my dream of driving the mountain roads and around Mt. Fuji with a Datsun 240z or Skyline.

I've been in Japan for about a month now, and I do like it here, however, it's not real foreigner friendly.

BRB girls handing out club pamphlets ignoring you completely, or reaching around you to hand pamphlets to Japanese men.
BRB getting zero eye contact from females, ever.

Das not it mane.

[Xyus_Quebec]

That was a good read!

I missed an opportunity to visit Japan about ten years ago and I regret it. The friends who went said they had a great time visiting a person who taught English in the Jet Program. However, I would not want to live there based on what I know about the place.

There was a good French movie called Fear and Trembling about a girl whose dream it was to live in Japan and she found everyone to be mean and racist. It was also a book, which a friend enjoyed.

Of course, we all know that Americanized Asian girls are the most beautiful no matter where they came from, correct?

Good mention of that movie, I really loved it. She was despicted as inferior by her bosses, because she wasn't japanese. Like if being non japanese was a mental disease, that's mostly what I recall from seeing that movie. It gives you a good idea of japanese thinking in the 80's.

But the girl from whom the movie was inspired is quite strange. It's based on her story, her father was a diplomate from belgium in Japan and she lived several years in Japan, she was fully fluent in Japanese, but always regarded as an outsider. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Am%C3%A9lie_Nothomb
