Nope, I've been on a 2 week holiday, I have no experience as a resident. So yes, I did kinda base that off people I've seen on the internet... my bad :L

I would have never thought that, that's definitely new news to me.

I may just take you up on that offer.
You've got the most interesting history from what you've already said of anyone I've ever met...

- The fresh worker who doesn't know what they want to do yet so they think teaching in a foreign country will be a pushover job

I've met some really lovely people and also some people I know who will be lifelong friends, but to say that the typical person who comes to Japan (to live) is worth my time is a bit of a stretch.

Looks like I'm very wrong here then. :L
Like I said I based it off the kind of people I see from the internet. Woops :L

With the kind of culture that Japan has, I'm guessing these are the disappointed people who quit early...

And to keep on topic... I bet they don't speak Japanese either! :L
