Moral of the story: Life is unfortunately not like anime

Weebs after they realize it’s not a paradise where they will be trained to be the strongest weapon of humanity and get a girl and marry her “Why am I still here? Just to suffer”

Hi, I'm Japanese.I always watch your channel ! I didn't realize that foreigner have trouble with their middle name.I think we should change this. Japan is comfortable to live so I wish many people come to Japan when the Coronavirus situation settles down☺️ We are waiting to see you🤍

Just for the record: Japan has more cities than just Tokyo.

Q: Why you shouldn't move to japan? A: People don't speak with subtitles...

"a lot of paperwork" - me being german , living in the land of paperwork

I think even after hearing these things I would still want to go to Japan. There are so many beautiful things to see and experience when moving to a different place. I want to be able to connect and communicate with so many more people however, since I am still a minor a lot of these things like the paperwork and fees seem overwhelming but i know I can learn and grow so that these things won’t seem so daunting to me anymore.

The country of Japan has been completely perfected as a place for Japanese people to live. Therefore, it is more difficult than you might imagine for a foreigner to live in Japan. This is why many foreigners leave Japan as soon as they are disappointed.

I’m Japanese. When I was living in the U.S, I had a pain medication that gives me hallucinations and it was too strong. I think we Japanese are smaller than Western people, that is why our dose is small but they are perfect for Japanese I think.

"Homes are tiny and expensive" New York: How about tiny, expensive AND dirty???

My sister-in-law is Japanese-American. Her Japanese mother would force her and her two sisters to visit Japan with her once a year so they would get to know their relatives and the country. They hated it, and, when they were old enough to say "no," refused to go back. They couldn't abide the patriarchal culture and the way their male cousins treated them. I hope things have changed for the better.

The fact that you get to be with groups and socialize is one of the biggest plus point for me. I honestly cannot adapt to the individualistic culture and when I came to US I felt a sense of loneliness and out-casted. I really love the Japanese culture and how beautiful the place is. This feeling was something I learned from my aunt who lives in Japan and told me about the culture since I was a kid. I grew learning about the goods and the bads but the good has always outweighed the bad in my perspective so I will have biases regardless lol but just wanna let people know that these reason shouldn't be the reason to stop thinking of visiting or even living in Japan. Just remember that every country has pros and cons :)

rent for a one bedroom apartment is 700! me in San Francisco “wow that’s cheap”

Key takeaway: Have a lot of money before moving to Japan, got it

Adapting to the work culture has been the most difficult part of living in Japan for me! And, having a hard time finding pants and shoes that fit. The portion sizes are a plus for me, coming from America it’s taught me the correct portion size (minus ramen! Those portions are crazy big!!)

I lived in Japan for 50 years and loved it. The things you mentioned are true, but not enough of a problem to ruin a person’s stay if we keep in mind that different is not necessarily wrong. It’s just different. I have kept this in mind as I returned to my passport country for retirement and it has helped my reverse culture shock. I have actually been surprised at how much paperwork there is in the US too these days.

It's funny how Japan is so technologically advanced yet still paper-based when it comes to documents.

Paolo is just trying to get all the tonkatsu for himself! dont fall for his traps!

"Lot of people living in small area" People in big indian cities :- "It's perfect!!Let's go" 😂😂
