I wouldn't be here if I didn't like the place, and I can say that for anywhere else I've settled down. But it seems that if we try to even bring up one thing that is just wrong/unfair/inconvenient about Japan in any sense, we get labeled as haters. If anything we have all the more right to voice our opinion because unlike 99% of this forum we actually live here (let alone have visited). I think that you don't even have an opinion unless you either live here or have been here for an extended period, because what can you stand behind other than what you've read or seen on TV?
If I could only tell you guys some of the BS I've dealt with since I've been here, but I choose not to because as much as I deal with, there are still a lot of great things about living in Japan. But I'm not going to act like Japan is the promise land because that's ridiculous.

Hello Wings. How did you manage to get a visa to actually Live inJapan?
I believe you are in a AMerican University in Japan. are you studying Japanese there or other things?
what is your current impression and of course I expect you mix with many other students. will you be allowed to stay inJapan once you have finished your studying? Do you live on campus or homestaying maybe?
Mixing with Japanese residents?
Ps surely no country is Perfect. How could it be?
