This seems to happen to a lot of people.
I say it comes from skewed expectations in the beginning. You see what you want to see at first - which is no realistic... So when you do see reality it seems to be incredibly horrible.

I haven`t seen anything like that happen to anyone who had realistic ideas about Japan.


If anyone is trying to find me… Tamyuun on Instagram is probably the easiest.
