I’m a 27 year old American Otaku (Anime fan for you gaijins). I draw Anime and Manga on my tablet, and spend my days perfecting my art and playing superior Japanese games. (Disgaea, Final Fantasy, Persona series) I train with my Katana every day, this superior weapon can cut clean through steel because it is folded over a thousand times, and is vastly superior to any other weapon on earth. I earned my sword license two years ago, and I have been getting better every day. I speak Japanese fluently, both Kanji and the Osaka dialect, and I write fluently as well. I know everything about Japanese history and their bushido code, which I follow 100% When I get my Japanese visa, I am moving to Tokyo to attend a prestigious High School to learn more about their magnificent culture. I hope I can become an animator for Studio Ghibli or a game designer! I own several kimonos, which I wear around town. I want to get used to wearing them before I move to Japan, so I can fit in easier. I bow to my elders and seniors and speak Japanese as often as I can, but rarely does anyone manage to respond. Wish me luck in Japan! http://i1.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/000/480/125/ac6.jpg (Unsupported image host) |

P.S I am not into all that anime stuff really and media like shows/game isn't what influenced my decision Just want to travel and it's a nice location in the Eastern Hemisphere which is surrounded by countries I would also like to visit, I also enjoy the fact it's an island. The icing on the cake is the fact the science program there is very good and it has amazing job opportunities for people who can speak both English and Japanese. It's not hard to move out young if you plan everything and save up money for a few years, I've got 6 months of paid living which gives me time to make some connections and set up roots. Anyway this is about Sardon not me, good luck with whatever city you choose! |

The only factor is the fact he has to pay to live on his own, which he would probably end up doing regardless of what college he went to. But he already said he's doing college where he is now anyways |

Japan has a very rich history and culture, but it gets hit by all kinds of disasters constantly. They are right along the pacific 'ring of fire' and they get a lot of earthquakes, tsunamis, typhoons, and so on. Not to mention, the heating and air conditioning in most homes is pretty terrible. Learning the language is also very difficult because after you learn all the basic stuff, it all just becomes learning vocabulary words, which have different symbols as well. Most high school students in Japan know about 10,000 different characters on average. A lot of people there also dislike foreigners. (Gaijin) And they are really conservative and into rules and manners. It's a beautiful country and all, but it's almost impossible to assimilate with their culture if you're not from there yourself. All that being said, I would recommend looking at an index of the 'happiest countries on earth' and then check into important factors you'll need to consider, like real estate costs and availability, laws and tax rates, commonly spoken languages, military preparedness, cultural norms, etc. http://www.usnews.com/news/articles/...ntries-of-2015 http://www.forbes.com/pictures/mef45...t-countries-2/ |

How much time have you spent in Japan???? I can guarantee that they aren't as bad to foreigners as you claim, clueless as to where you even got that idea from. They are pretty friendly people. You can go do a quick Google search and read multiple blogs about people who've traveled there and loved it and the people there as well. The language isn't "very difficult" either, most people just make that assumption because it's their first time seeing a language style like that. It's exactly like learning another language, start from the bottom with the beginner stuff and keep slowly advancing and it's very easy to understand. People saying it's difficult would most likely struggle with learning other languages as well, some people are just good with this sort of stuff and others aren't. |
