>>17210020You are not Japanese and you will he reminded of that fact every single day. When you have spent 10 years there and master the language and the culture, even when you feel like you finally belonged, a casual “when are you going home?” will remind you of your place.
If you experienced a western home life, like a house, japan will crush you. Give up the idea of making any reasonable amount of money unless you have the backing of a major industrial business. They are not going to put foreign people in jobs that pay over 55,000 USD equivalent. You need a a real job before you move there and you should try to make it a industry player thats based in Europe so you can still experience a work life balance. They will not expect you to be a slave, especially if its a german or dutch company. Matter of fact they would love to have a contact thats their ethnicity and lived in Japan, you would serve as a good contact and lesion.
