About 10 years ago I was going to teach English in Japan but decided to try it out in Barcelona first and ended up staying there for 6 years instead and it was loving rad as hell. The Catalans by and large love a cynic so I got on with them really well and never once fancied giving up being surrounded by smoking hot people, good food, beautiful architecture, cheap and decent booze and sunny weather to go to Japan where I was sure to go insane.

I stumbled upon this Ryan Boundless guy's Youtube about a week ago. Despite having no interest in Japan I watched a few videos. Guy seems to hate his life.

Edit. Also that face blur wasn't there when I watched this a week ago.

Wow I gave up but you got me back in...


So the companies he talks about are those entry-level teaching exchanges right? The job is comparable to Robin Williams in Good Morning, Vietnam? I mean anybody going in with any brains knows it's gonna be an awkward year, but in the name of advancement...right? That seemed to be my buddies attitude but also he's chiller than most and perhaps a tier or two above socially adept.

Japan is fun to visit, but living there isn't so great even when you're making decent money. Unless you're Japanese or look Japanese then it's okay I guess, but I'm a big oafy not-Japanese guy so.

I don't get why anyone would teach english there. The pay isn't good enough.

Pros: Showers/tubs in decent apartments have their own waterproof room which is amazing and superior to western style bathrooms in every single way, where I stayed had electronically controlled water temperature
Pretty much crime free, you see children ages 5+ alone on the subway and trains daily in contrast to the west where people call CPS on you if your 10 year old rides his bike a block away in the year 2017, no one tries to scam you
Public transportation destroys anywhere I've been to in the west, if anyone knows of a place with similar where people speak english feel free to tell me because I'd live there
Food is similarly priced or cheaper than the west and you won't get sick

Cons: You're surrounded by hundreds of people but all alone
It's inconvenient to do pretty much anything that isn't "eat out" or "shop at a store" or "visit a place", for example going to an actual gym and lifting actual weights is very difficult because you have to travel for a while and it's real expensive
Lots of stuff is real expensive although it seems like this is less true in 2017 than 2012
Everyone speaks Japanese and even though lots of people know enough English to understand you they won't speak English, so you largely communicate by translating on your mobile phone and showing it to them or pointing at things

Singapore is amazing, clean, very low crime, awesome public transportation, and English is the official language. I highly recommend checking it out. Great way to get exposure to lots of different Asian cultures at once, since it's a melting pot trade hub. Only problem is that everything except food is expensive.

I don't even try to speak english to people in Japan unless they speak english to me first. The only time I used my phone was with the train guy because the machine ate $20 instead of putting it on my card. He pulled out a tablet and used translate first. He also refused to refund me or put the money on my card anyway.

The government mailed the survey to 18,500 foreign residents across the country late last year, and received responses from 4,252 of them.

About 30% of the respondents said they had been on the receiving end of discriminatory remarks “often” or “sometimes”. Those comments were most likely to be made by strangers, but many people also pointed the finger at bosses, colleagues or subordinates in their workplaces, the Jiji news agency reported.

Problems in workplaces were not confined to verbal remarks. One in four people who had sought a job said they were denied employment because they were a foreigner, and one in five believed they were paid less than their Japanese counterparts for similar work.

Housing discrimination was also believed to be common among the 2,044 survey respondents who had looked for a place to live in the past five years.

Four in 10 people in this group said they had been stopped from moving into housing because they were foreigners. Some of them had even seen notices saying foreigners were not accepted, the Kyodo news agency reported.

The survey also found significant unease about ultra-nationalist campaigners who frequently drive around the streets of major cities with loudspeakers expressing their sentiments.

More than 1,150 hate speech rallies were held in Japan between April 2012 and September 2015, according to data previously released by the justice ministry.

Four in 10 respondents to the latest survey said they were uncomfortable about such demonstrations against foreigners. Japan introduced a law to curb hate speech in June last year, but it has been criticised for lacking penalties.
