No one ever said you need to have social skills and manners to work in government facilities.

This is one of the reasons why I avoided a relationship during my stay in Japan. It did seem that people assumed a Japanese + gaijin couple would eventually end up in gaikoku. I knew that I wouldn't be in Japan long as an English "teacher".

I would like to move back to Japan, I found myself living happier and healthier than in Canada, but I need to learn a desired skill first. I can't see myself being an eikaiwa teacher for the rest of my life (let alone the shady practices with most of the larger chains).
