What are some ways to live in japan as a foreigner?
Most weebs who move to Japan think it will be like living in one of their animes, but really they'll be a shunned gaijin working a 60 hour week to barely survive.
Just go there for vacation like half of /trv/ and /jp/ do.
Also this.
I think being a teacher is kind of a meme, but to me it seems like one of the few ways to have a somewhat decent lifestyle.
I read about a dude that got into the animation industry, but he realized it was total shit and he got overworked to death so yeah.
I am planning to do Workaways there
Apparently they are proper pissheads it sounds great.
what a comfy soup stand
just looked this up. looks cool user. thank you!
>post yfw OP gets killed by the yakuza
>mfw OP unwantedly joins the yakuza and is used as a drug mule when flying home
Its amazing how clean Japan is compared to Muttland
>working a 60 hour week to barely survive.
As if. Being an english teacher is one of the easiest gigs on the planet because they expect very little of you
Canada and Sweden have more gang and organized crime problems than fucking Japan. Yakuza is barely anything these days, they barely exist. They're down to a few ten thousand and most sit around playing with their dicks and producing JAV all day.
6 people were shot to death in Japan over an entire year, niggers in a single American city kill each other at literally 100x the rate (chicago has 500-700 murders per year)
fuck off faglord i was just shitposting.
I don't care if you go to Japan or not.
Well, at least you learned something today.
>6 people were shot to death in japan over a year
>he actually believes that number
>in japan where they hide reports like this all the time so as to not cause an uproar in the general public
They literally falsify their death count each year, why would you trust anything coming from them.
Depends on what kind of teacher you are. Generally there are EAL teachers and international school teachers. EAL teachers won't work or make as much as an international teacher, which is respected more. Although it requires you to actually be a qualified and experienced school teacher before you can apply.
Regardless of which you choose, life will be better in SE Asia.
>Most weebs who move to Japan think it will be like living in one of their animes,
I honestly don't get this meme. I mean I don't literally think there are mechas running around the city or things like that.
one of life's greatest disappointments is visiting Japan for the first time and realizing the average Jap chick on the street isn't only very attractive at all but at times down right fugly
EAL also has it's own tiers. An edutainment (someone who just plays with kids all day) will usually be done by young people who are on a gap year/ travelling/ failed at life and as such, they get paid and respected very little.
Then you get real EAL teachers who have actual qualifications and experience. They probably won't make as much as an international school teacher, but they will have a better life than edutainers.
Both will get exploited by language centres.
is it really that bad? Originallllllllly
You will pretty much only find work as an English teacher. Do some research on immigration laws, you have to make a certain amount of income as an employee of a Japanese company in order to qualify for a work visa. There are different laws for private trading, investing, and owning a business as a foreigner than as a citizen. Its best to marry a Japanese girl so you can get a garunteed visa or even a citizenship. They dont have diversity visas, so you cant just move to Japan because you want to live there.
i hear those teaching gigs are pretty sweet in terms of salary and benefits package and overall work load
don't
after anime their second largest industry is suicidal salarymen
When I was on JET a friend of a friend was there playing the Terminator in the stage show at Universal Studios Japan. Pretty sweet gig, and he wasn't ever hurting for pussy. If you can't do something like that though, your options are: 1) be a businessman who gets sent there for work, 2) join the military and get PCSed there, or 3) teach English.
