Wow, this is a nice board filled with a better perspective than many other people have given to me in the past. I can't count the countless of times people, who had never been to Japan, was telling me everything was better there only because anime/magna says so. Of course, I've been around some delusional people, apparently.

Anyway, I'm a Japanese and Asian Studies double major and hoping to get a job in politics more importantly working for the American embassy in Japan. How likely that will happen, I'm not very keen on that being an attainable goal, but it's still nice.

I was wondering if people who work within the American government places in Japan, if they have much contact outside of the assign areas? Hopefully I worded that right.

But, regardless, it's nice hearing more reasonable opinions from those who have actually been to, and lived, in Japan.
