The general vibe I'm getting off these forums, is people basically implying "Oh, Japan is a metropolice of hard, working people. Anyone trying to get in will fail. Don't bother trying. Here's the truth.... bla, bla, bla......". Now, I'm NOT saying everybody says that, but it just the feeling I get. I understand that some people need a reality check, but come on. I think if people go, and it turns out to be the worst experience ever, at least they'll then know. But for me, I will enjoy it, or find multiple elements I enjoy. Or else I've wasted my whole teenage life (and I'm 20 now). lol
