you can tell me anything about Japan and I will believe it

truly a land of hopes and dreams

The cities are fine, but all the townships in the country are abandoned and haunted by a murder of ringu girls and loving sharks.

I don't know what you're trying to imply here. Several japan cultural experts before myself had already posted itt about how there's no soap in any bathrooms in japan :raise:
Hey now, I never claimed to be a cultural expert, just pointing out something I noticed.

I watched the video finally and kinda feel sorry for the guy. Sounds like he worked for a lovely company. That's no reason to hate a whole country though, goddamn.

I don't think there's really a huge difference between the two. Both are definitely the worst.

The saddest are the ones with a weird complex where they think they're better than the other losers who went to Asia because they couldn't hack it back home.

You see that a lot in Japan with guys who were English teachers for like 7 years then they got married and their wife helped them get some computer job at a company or and then they're all "Fuckin English teachers are such losers".

If to live in this style is to be eccentric, it must be confessed that there is something good in eccentricity.

I didn't read most of the thread, but I went to Japan. Taught for a year.

It was a lot of fun at times, boring at other times. I miss it a lot, but I'll be trying to head to Korea next soon to do some more of the same. It was certainly more fun than the job I actually studied for.

As far as the OP is insinuating: I guess they filter out the weeabos quickly, if they even bother applying. I was one of the very few people in my prefecture that had even heard of anime. It was a lot of regular people there, mostly just the kind of people that like to travel; most had no connection to Japan or particular knowledge of the culture (or "culture").
