Hello, Japan Forum people.
A head of sorry for my poor spelling and punctuation.
Like a lot of people on this website, i want to move to Japan...well maybe.
so yes i will be asking some of the same old questions everyone else is asking, but with the possibility of new ones. i could use the search forum tool, but it would take a while to read through a lot of conversions in the threads to fine what i am looking for...so im sort of taking the lazy way.
I think i'll start off with some the things i know, some of it might be right/wrong.
So i know that you need at least a B.A in any thing, that you need a visa of some sorts( Visa's confuse the hell out of me lol) so if you can maybe put some information about vise in layman terms. i know that you should visit before making the big step forward and also learn at the very least some basic Japanese.
some info from you would be, what were some of the reality checks you experience once you got there. Whats it like being that faraway from your family and friends. what are some of the difficulties being a "Gaijin". what are some of the real pro's and cons of living in japan that most people like me dont think about.
it's my dream to see the cherry blossoms in Japan and to maybe one day even live there. i know it takes a lot of time and work to be given the chance, but for me that one chance is worth it.
any info and stories about your experiences would be greatly appreciated. i know its a lot to read but thank you for time.
