I just happened to find this forum and realized that there are many people out there like me who want to come to japan or will actually come here in the short future.
This has just reminded me how difficult it was to settle in and adapt to japanese cultures and their way of doing things when I first arrived. Luckily, I have my husband to help me a bit (he is japanese) but I can really imagine for those who are coming here on your own with no friends/family, it can be hectic.
So, for those of you who want to have some advice, please feel free to post a reply to this. I will help as much as I can.  |
I have now chosen Japan as my place to live and could not care less about the obstacles. Without a challenge there is no reason to live. To master a challenge makes ones life a richer place and lets face it, life can be hard anywhere on this planet but at least in Japan the effort pays off good if you succeed.
