I am easily annoyed by phone helplines, & their lack of help. I am annoyed at government schemes f***ing things up. I am annoyed by the British public. I am annoyed at the state that some residential area's are left in, & the amount of society's scum that wander about. I feel I don't fit here. My mind & personality is different from the norm here. Don't get me wrong, I will miss a number of things here, but I see too many negatives to stay after uni. Why Japan though? It's simple. I love Japan, & from what I've watched, seen, read etc., I feel I would fit well with the culture & customs. Its not all about being in 'the anime capital' or whatever. I feel it's deeper than that, & after uni, hope to make this happen  |
Hello Jambo-- all countries have governments and political decisions have to be made-- many that we object to-- especially these recent schemes and saving of money by the coalition govt. Universities losing out-- and students being in too much debt when they leave UNI-- and how many Unii students are unable to obtain good jobs?
From the way you talk-- you are unhappy in your present environment-- I don't know your circumstances of course-- but the whole of UK has good places to live.
Life is a struggle-- always has been always will be, No matter where you live in the end its up to the individual to make choices.
I hope that your dream of Japan will work out-- but how much do you really know about life there? what is your real ambition in life--?
The grass is always greener elsewhere-- but is it really?
Housing in this country is way too expensive-- I don' tknow about Japan but from what I have read it too is expensive.
WOuld you thinkof going as a student? seems as good a way to start and to explore and learn the realities of Japan.
we here have so many immigrants desperate to get to this country. Maybe they have fantasies about UK-- but are they true?
so much of what Nyrorin has written is so true-------------
She always talks a lot of sense.
ANyway I hope your dreams will come true but you know there are plenty of countries much worse than UK. I would not want to live elsewhere unless maybe australia.
