I'm a JET who moved to Japan this year. I'm sitting here now, in my Japanese apartment, tatami mats and all, in a small city where there's a handful of foreigners hanging around, I have a cute, lovely Japanese girlfriend who practically lives with me, but I'm still just feeling depressed as fuck.
Working here sucks, teaching kids sucks, being glared at by every single person sucks, Japanese all day all the time sucks.
Anyone else got this feel? I feel like I'm stuck here, I have nothing to fall back on but I don't want to stay either. Fuck man.
Why did you decide to go there in the first place?
lol
Luis Collins
Not detecting enough love for Japan here bud
Jonathan Stewart
Only insects and NPCs can understand japanese "culture".
Xavier Watson
Were you happy back home? I used to live in the US, and it was boring. I live in Japan now, and it's boring here. I've just come to the realization that I'm boring, not my environment.
Luke Foster
why would you move to a country you dont like?
Nathaniel Jackson
sad
Tyler Bailey
Eat shit and die, normalfag.
Ethan Myers
Welcome to japan tard, lovely to visit but actually living there blows dick. If you actually wanted to live a fulfilling life, go to Europe or South America
Julian Long
>I can't stand people staring at me omg are you ok user ??
Imagine being so spoiled that fucking stares hurt you
Ethan Roberts
Yeah, fuck i stayed in some bumfuck Eastern Europe for a few months, and people not only stared at me non-stop, but also insulted me constantly for no reason. No fuck was given as they weren't at least violent toward me.
Josiah Robinson
So why do you care now ? Are you a nogg ?
Parker Lopez
>where there's a handful of foreigners hanging around and any jap friends?
Actually 2017 jet here. I'm going to test you OP, if yoiu don't reply you're full of shit. Where was your JET number placed on your name card and what was the first four digits?
Ayden Morgan
I'm no the OP.
Owen Campbell
ah ok that's why I was confused, lmao eastern Europe is spooky
William Cooper
holy fuck are you guys all gaijin in Japan? me too btw
Hudson Mitchell
STFU I'd gladly trade places with you. What city are you in?
Sounds like you need to lay pipe with your Japanese gf, mate.
Nicholas James
Actual Japanese only show up when Koreans start posting en masse.
Angel Scott
I'm , and I'm Japanese.
Kevin Thomas
I lived in Eastern Europe for 4 years and I'm light brown. I had people spit on me, mate. Fucking rednecks. That was the first time in my life I actually faced racism so that really fucked me in the head for a good while. You get used to it though.
Logan Cook
judging from your English you still don't seem Japanese desu
Camden Cruz
Yeah my parents visited there and said the athmosphere was very special
James Sanchez
>being glared at by every single person sucks what the fuck did you expect you retard
Sebastian Long
I take it as a compliment. 日本語で書けば納得するかい?
Kayden Brooks
Pretty ironic coming from a country that discriminates based on caste and color also.
Good for them! Brown people don't belong in Europe, especially EE.
I'm pretty sure he is not responsible for the millennium structure of his society.
Wyatt Martin
All that stuff sounds pretty obvious if you had spent 5 minutes researching Japan. Their work culture is infamous and people are going to stare at obvious-looking foreigners anywhere outside major cities, even in the West.

アメリカに2年住んでた。

なるほど -_o

>Working here sucks dwi >teaching kids sucks get a real job >being glared at by every single person sucks dwi >Japanese all day all the time sucks that's not a bug, that's a fucking feature
Nolan Price
Ah yes, because that's what I do in my spare time. Discriminate based on useless shit like skin color or cultural differences. We have the brains to decide what is right and wrong, the consequences of our actions etc and yet the majority of the world, west or east is full of savages. Fucking humans, man.

Get part time job at FamilyMart in nighttime, It is a fresh fun and good experience as a foreigner visa
Well yeah, Japan is a fucking blast to visit but horrible to live as a foreigner.
t. Lived for 3 years in Minato
Jaxson Lee
Because I was a college grad who couldn't find a job and I got accepted. I knew parts of japan suck hard but I just wanted to make the best of it.
I have no idea, and cant be fucked to find out. All I know is I got shoved into 2 days of orientation in shinjuku, then shipped over to a town to be a bunch of school's english bitch boy
Wyatt King
>imagining all the time that I'm being glared at by every single person sucks wow dude that does suck. Imagine how depressed you're going to be when you realize you're just imagining it and that no one even notices that you exist.
Sebastian Hill
>Minato you mean Minato-ku, Tokyo? It's full of foreigners there
