And the whole Japanese "culture" thing makes very little sense to me. What does that even mean? You're there so you can....see what Japanese people do? What they do isn't that different from what you do at your own country. Do you care about your own culture? You probably don't right...you probably could care less about the culture in your own country. Well...that's how most Japanese people think about Japanese culture. They could care less, they had no choice, they were just born Japanese. They live there, they work, they eat, they go home. That's it.
I'm Chinese, speak fluent Chinese and I really don't know much or care much about Chinese culture. I don't think Kanji is pretty at all...I think Chinese is one of the easiest, most stupidest languages out there....just telling you.

Are you talking about folks that's already there? I war referring people who wish to go there now or in the near future, it's not easy to find a sponsor to get them that visa, so they have to work hard to enrich themselves, otherwise there is no reason why they would want to hire a foreigner at the added cost
And I don't know whe you got that from, maybe just the crowd you hang out with, but the Japanese I know are very proud of themselves. I was only saying that the interest in culture is becoming an excuse, I didn't say it has to be the reason. I wanted to be doing AI development, and it just so happen that at the time the Asimo and Partner project was taking off, so Japan make sense to me. Culture was only one example
I am Chinese myself, and I also have a lot of things against my own people and culture, but you sounded like you just simply hate it, that's your choice, but just because you hate your own culture, it doesn't mean at Japanese will feel the same.
Oh, and I don't think Chinese is an easy language at all..
