Where there's a will, there's a way. but you gotta work for it. there's a happy medium between a two week vacation and moving there for good.

I agree with you in that regard, but since I have the will, just no way, my best bet is to stay there through some other means, and my best bet, for the moment, is JET or some other program similar to it. At least I'd get an idea what it's like to live there through that. Staying for a year, I should learn plenty. ^_^
I'd never want to up and leave here and move to another country without actually living there temporarily and not there as if I am on a vacation.
Oh, my folks could probably visit a place like Japan now, if they saved up the money to go. My mother and father have timeshare...although, for the locations they can go to (which have lots of locations), with the resort paid for or rented, or whatever, Japan, surprisingly, isn't even on the list of places. Other Asian countries are, but no Japan. My mother was shocked at that. She was like, if I ever ended up in Japan, they could just use their time share resort stuff to visit and have a place to stay.
