Hello Nyororin, My name is omar. I' am knew to JF ( I barely know how to do anything in this website, haha). But, I have indeed been doing plenty of research on how to live in Japan. My answer after my study would be,rough ( as a foreigner), BUT WORTH IT! My longtime dream is to live in Japan. I have a lively attraction to it. Not only the face of it, the colorful city lights, the anime ( although aware that reality is that it is not ANIME), and the crazy technology. But the old, wise, and calm japan. Anyway, one question. Why are you in Japan? What motivated to make such a bold move? Thank you
