Thank you for your opinions, MMM. Very much appreciated!
You are right about the language thing. It's very fortunate for me that I'm really eager to learn foregin languages. Especially Japanese. I just watched Akira in Japanese, again
) ı love the language, it's pretty difficult tho.
I'm a freelance illustrator in the moment. So, your words about this subject is very important actually. I know exactly what you mean whenyou are talking about working from home and never see anyone you are working with. It's the same with me right now. I'm in Istanbul, Turkey at the moment. I kinda got very bored here and want to go to some other place. I considered LA, London, Berlin and the like, but at this very moment, just after I saw Tokyo, I really want to be there. As it was always a place in my head. Maybe it's just a temporary thing, I don't know, but I doubt it.
And as for the fact that you should be better than anyone else is so true, I know that. It's the same in Germany as well. They always look for natives that can do the same thing you do, befoe they end up hiring you. So, I guess it's the same everwhere else.
But the funny thing is, I never really tried seriously to find some job in above mentioned cities before. I mean I did try, but not seriously. And somehow I'm really fascinated with Tokyo, and I keep telling myself 'that's the place you gotta be'.
And the good thing about Japan is, unlike USA, Germany and England, Japan does not ask you for a visa. I can stay for 90 days without a visa. So, it's possible for me to take my portfolio and see people face to face and present myself. Better than an online application. I'm good at what I'm doing. I even try to be better, and I get better every day. I think the key is to prepare a very good portfolio tho. I have some plans in my mind, as far as preparing a portfolio goes. Let's see how things will unfold
Thanks again.
