can someone give me some insight? i love japanese cars and japanese women and i heard its a nice place to live. getting a job should be easy for me cuz im in the airforce rite now and i work on airplanes i can work at an airport easily.

All I can say is it's not like the anime that you watch.

There're a few Japan experts on here, maybe you should ask specific questions.

cars and women being the main reasons for moving to a new country is going to make your life hard. Japan is a hella-expensive place to live in. if you have a proffessional job than go but you need to speak perfect japanese to work at airports since it is an important business. (reading instructions, knowing what others are telling you to do etc. )

Anyways, there are sites that can hook gaijins up with jobs, ill post them up but rigtht now im tired

I took a transfer course (japan exchange program) at waseda University and let me tell you.... competing with native japanese for jobs is not something you want to experience....

Moving to a different country because you like their cars or women is the most dumbest, stupidest, idiotic, retarded, etc reason in the world.

ROFL! Took the words right out of my mouth.

well unless hes a millionaire and he can buy the cars, and about the women, not all japanese girls look like they came straight outta hentai.

But like if you dont speak passable Japanese and read and write well, then your job will just go to someone who can... my advice.. learn japanese, study

I was talking to this japanese exchange chick and she said a lot of japanese students know english pretty well. Well i am in the airforce and we have 3 bases over there so cost of living Im not too worried about cuz livings free

then why dont u contact ur american superiors about getting a job?

quick tip

go with a lot of money $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ that much

if ur with the us military, just ask for a transfer. but living there under normal circumstances is hard. harder to get a job, education, place to live?

Teaching English and employment with Japan's education provide nearly all job opportunity in Japan for white " gaijins ",Japanese don't require teaching credentials.Very few jobs open to non-Japanese speaking foreigners there,unless you're recruited by Japan-based foreign firms.

She means Engrish

Engrish is hella annoying

Youve got to have dough if you want to establish yourself in Japan.

Yeah............so.........good luck to you on moving to Japan, let us know how you do.

what ethnicity are you?

haha. it's funny not a single native japanese ever answered this thread

I'm just gonna guess he's Vietnamese?

im vietnamese/chinese but what does that matter?

I think its because if you were white, the guys here would really laugh their asses off but because your viet/chinese, its a bit better I think?

not really

im still chuckling about what he said: "i want to move to japan cuz of the cars and women"

whats wrong with that? i love cars and its all i do in my spare time. and i love japanese women. and im tired of america high crime rates dirty cheating filithy greedy people

That is an incredibly stupid reason.

im sure japan has dirty cheating filithy greedy people .. i think it's retarded of you to think japan is extra perfect == sure there is low crime rate but that's because the laws are strict.

waht do you do in your spare time? ogle the cars?

no matter..you'll probably fit in right away anyway where magical japanese can speak english with you. good luck

That's not a good reason to move to a country .. ?

There's more to the Japanese culture than just cars & women.

Moving to a whole new country is no joke, its a pretty hard adjustment, especially in Japan where its crowded as hell and extremely expensive to live in.
They are already very overcrowded, you think they really want foriengers living over there?
Moving to Japan is an ENORMOUS decision, you should stop and think about it a little more.

did tokyo drift have anything to do with this?

dont forget Naruto, Bleach, Inuyasha, Love Hina, hentai and the list goes on

Maybe you should visit Japan first, you dont just say I want to live there and go. You go there first, do some scouting, get a feel of the place. Oh and BTW, may I ask how old you are? Im guessing youre over 20 years old

I don't think such capabilities are within his reach. He's obviously blinded by the superficial aspects of the culture and could care less about all else and there are thousands of those like him in existence.

UNFORTUNATELY there are thousands of those like him in existence.

I seriously think that Japan's pop/soft culture has a way to brainwash people, especially foreiengers. I just can't beleive that so many people would want to visit/move to Japan just because of their animation, videogames, cars, music, etc. I just don't understand it!!!

ignorance

he probably thinks all girls look like this ^

have you thought about americas greater influence? a ton of people want to be with white people or even BE white just because of hollywood and american media.

not anyone i've met. ^ and were talking about the thread starter's reasons for moving to japan, if someone said i want to move to U.s.a. for the cars and women it would be equally as funny

i want to move to germany so i can drink beer all day and bang blue eyed bootches.

but everyone including me has to admit that they are not as pissed at this guy since hes at least asian, lol.

not equally, but funnier..

Because this thread in general is too idiotic to dignify with an answer. I clicked on this thread in all honesty to try and answer someone who might really be moving to Japan... Then I see the reason... which makes me kind of shake my head in disgust.. So.. Good luck to you wanting to move to Japan, but I personally think the last thing Japan needs is a Gaijin like you(s).

Yeah, I agree with that, I'd be more pissed if the topic starter was white. Sue me.

I have a message for the thread starter


you make me LOL



ahahahahhahahahahha

No offense but that sounds like a really dumb reason to want to move somewhere.

^ hm yeah. most people i knew who wanted to move somewhere for the a certain nationality of ladies usually didn't see much of them in the first place..

sounds like a japanophile noob. try talking to a japanese that had experience living there. ever met one before?

I didn't want to respond to this thread, but after reading some of the replies, it is apparent that there is much hatred on these boards. Is it so demeaning to go somewhere with no reasons at all? People here act experts on Japan. Stop it, you guys are oozing dorkyness and corniness at the same time. 25 of you shouldn't even be posting in this topic, including me.

Edit: 43 of you!

i dont see why you guys are all butthurt. I can move and live to JAPAN FOR FREE. Im in the military and if they station me there I have FREE housing and FREE food and I still get my steady paycheck. Ive never been to an asian country and this is the poerfect time for me to do it. I was just sayin cars and women cause thats a plus but I really like the food and would like to expand my sense of different asian cultures.

If you CAN. Then do it, its your decision in the end anyway, there is really no point in consulting us. Be a man, make decisions.

i went to japan for a two week exchange aye... it was AWESOME!! so much technology, asian girls, nice food, nice cars, did i mention nice asian girls?

btw japan is a good place for a visit, or short term stay. i cant really see myself living there for more than a year, it seems kinda stressful...

also, if u meet some friendly Japanese girls on vacation, theyre prob being nice cos ur a tourist... once u become a resident they wont take a second glance...

agreed.

Even if you go there to Japan, Japanese girls are so picky so it means it would be very hard for a foreigner to have a japanese girl

i have a good reason for wanting to move to japan, i live in norway.... hahahaha
most expensive country in the freaking world, oslo is more expensive than tokyo, living expenses i mean, everything else is cheaper in japan, i lived there for 4 months last year, it was part of the japanese language program i am in at the university of oslo. i liked living in japan though, but i agree that moving to a country just because of the women and the cars is kinda rash. learn the language, travel there and talk with the people, get a feel for the country and the culture. Living in japan with no friends and not being able to communicate to the japanese people would make you feel very very isolated and lonely. You should do some more research. And dont base your conclusions upon the impression you get from the girls or the anime or any stupid $hit like that.

Oh and by the way, dont take the responses in this thread too seriously, most of them are japan-haters or worse!
