A lot of reasons. I like the transportation. I like speaking the language. I like the school system and working in it. I could go on.
It's a lot more local than just Japan really. If I was still living in Tokyo I probably would have wanted to leave Japan by now. But the low cost of living in this countryside and the apartment I have and all that, it's quite nice. I'm very comfortable here.
The benefits of a country with no one in it.
The benefits of a country with many many people in it, and a city with relatively few people.
Tokyo is still affordable compared to any other modern city.
There's places in this city even that had I ended up there, I may have wanted to leave by now. But I just lucked out. My particular situation just rules.
Yeah but the people there suck and it's just not for me long term.
I do miss the Tokyo arcades though. :(
How bad is the racism over there?
You get turned away at the brothel? Have to hit up the ones filled with Fillipinos?
i am not reading the 700 posts that were posted since the last time i read this thread can someone catch me up to speed please
Racism is pretty bad, but not against people like me. Racism against other east asians is far worse. The "racism" against western people is just the type where they say weird shit but not necessarily offensive shit. They'll be like "wow you have a big nose" and stuff like that. I haven't been to a brothel. I can lose my job if I go anywhere near the red light district.
i mean it actually is a crisis
Where do you live exactly?
Kamala has a campaign now with money so she can probably win. Trump should campaign against problems not people. For example "border crisis is bad" is a better strategy than "immigrants bad"
Immigrant convo led to me and Jones going back and forth about Japan and how me and the future African immigrants will destroy their culture.
They'll likely destroy everything -- every single country that has tried it out, it just hasn't worked.
You should at least pick an ethnicity that isn't twice your size. The 5'1" Malays you can actually subjugate.
I live on Kyushu island in a small town that basically does nothing but farm corn or work in the bigger city to the south.

Yeah I get that, but Dems keep failing to create border policy that sounds both good to their pro-immigrant base and also distinct from Republican policy.
I think they should just adopt the Libertarian candidates border policy. It's not some dreamy open borders shit and it sounds like it would actually address the problem and not just play on anti-immigrant fervor.
