Nyororin, I have spent the last hour reading through your many replies to the seemingly infinite number of questions that people keep sending your way. I'm just amazed at your generosity in taking the time to share your experiences and advice with those of us who have yet to experience life in Japan for ourselves. Your time and effort is very much appreciated!
Right now I'm having second thoughts about going to Japan any time soon. The picture you've presented us with through your experiences and anecdotes is very down-to-earth and does not quite tally with my own admittedly naive and rosy image of what life in Japan is like. I still want to live and work there at some point, but I've realised that the preparations for such a big step will obviously include more than saving up for a plane ticket and finding a job prior to arrival.
Thanks for a great thread, keep up the good work!

"It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine as children do. And as we let our own lights shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others." -from the film Coach Carter
