You helped and yet you blast me for trying to have a conversation about the plan which is what it is right now and I cannot stress that enough. I came here wanting actual help not to be lambasted, I want to make a serious plan here realistically.
I don't need (for the matter no one does) snide remarks. I need conversation and help on a realistic plan. I posted my thoughts and personality so you could get a look at what type of person I am and better judge my position, not to call me a naive fool. I also have some experience in living in other sates (Illinois, Kentucky, Georgia, Florida, Minnesota, and North Carlina). I really don't know what your problem is. I was really enjoying your posts they where very helpful, then you come and post this.

I'm not saying don't follow your dream, just get your head out of the clouds. I went to Japan for a job only, not for anime, or becoming a Ninja or Samurai. I read all the posts about Japan (like you) but didn't believe the bad ones enough (like you again). While I loved Japan and it's people and culture, I wished I went in more prepared than I was (and I was better than most gaijin I met there).
We are all naive fools when it comes to moving to a foreign country. I've done it 3 times and I always ran into problems I never would have dreamed of. I just want youngsters (I am older than most on here, so most of you are youngsters), to be as prepared as possible without false ideas about a move to a place where most conceptions about it are wrong. I met many people who went back to their home countries crying and hating Japan and the people there because it didn't meet
their expectations. I just want to make sure
your expectations are realistic. Sorry if you feel I'm picking on you, but you will thank me later when you see what I am saying is true.
