But after thinking about it, I decided it's a one in a lifetime opportunity, and I'm not going to waste it.
I think most of the people who go to Japan on a whim, it's because they think "now or never". I don't see it like running away, but more like taking a risk (like you all have said before). Maybe soe people are deceived with what they see, but if they hadn't tried it out, they would still have that wrong ideal of japan, and I think that's even worse.

Welcome to the forums! And your English is great
I wonder if most people who think Japan is great and will solve all their life problems also on a deeper level realize that it's probably not true, or if they really are so foolish.
Having said that, if I look at it empirically, I do think that life in Japan is better. When I compare the weight of the pros and cons with Japan and the places I have lived, it just comes out on top. Not by a landslide but noticeably. That's definitely a personal opinion though. If you like weed this place isn't for you lol.
