Hello JF.com
Im new to this forum, and have been reading some threads that I find really interesting.
I guess like other people I want to try live or study in Japan some time in my life.
Im from Norway and will soon move to England to get my batchlor in Game Design, and might take a Master degree.
I guess you know Game's are BIG in Japan, and I love the Japan types of games better then western, and it would be dream to live in Japan and make Games or study for my master degree and learn the language.
At this point my Japanese is bad, the best I can do is to watch a RAW anime episode and understand most of it. But I can not talk japanese.
I have read some articles about western people move to japan and get Game Design jobs.
But it is very very hard. And important to know the language.
And about some differents from western Game Design and Japanese.
So I would like to ask, is it hard to find a job outside Game design while learning the language and culture?
How is it the dailylife in japan, interacting with people and how will I be viewed?
I guess you guys might do not know, but I will ask, is there a place in Japan there it is possible to get my master degree in Game Design, with a English speaking teacher? I know there is schools like this in china, so why not japan?
Is it really expensive to live in Japan? I have heard that everyday life items are alittle cheaper then in Norway.
If you want to ask me some other question just ask please
And I might add some more questions later..
And a fast question about tattoo, they can easy see that Im not japanese
would they look down on me for having a tattoo? Like it could affect my life down there.
(A allready have one on my arm, but it is small.
Thanks for Norway!
