日本に行ったことがありますか？

Zahniarsis · (#3 (**permalink**))

ない

but it like i've been there ,

That might be a place to start. Try a holiday - alone - for 2 weeks or longer, you might hate it.

One need to actually "Live" it to hate it... 2 weeks is merely a vacation...

Yeah sure, 2 weeks is not enought to make anything, unless visit some places, my purpose is too much more than that, & about hating living in Japan, i'm sure i will not, ther's thousands things i would like to do, even one year is not enought, i olso want to speak japanese as fluent as possible.

The first thing you should do, is to do more research first. Then take a short trip there to experiment it a little, see if its for you.

Then look at the language if you decide to pursuit with it after your short stay

your best bet is to find a job as a teacher teaching some foreign language..

I moved to Japan without having visited. It was exactly as I expected, and as I've explained elsewhere, it was such a good fit, I stayed, and my culture shock hits when I leave Japan.

So, it is not always necessary to "visit" first, but I imagine I am an uncommon example.

I agree a lengthy visit would be beneficial for some things you may not initially think of such as possible difficulty buying groceries, ease or difficulty of traveling etc. When I visited I was with a group so those things were not necessarily issues for me. But all in all I dont believe it's a necessity. If you can, it's a great asset but I dont think it's a deal breaker. Because even visiting for a month doesn't necessarily give you the same experiences as living for a year or more. There is too much to experience in just a couple weeks so you'll never really know until you can make it happen.

Best of luck!

For some people who are truly interested in Japan it is generally so- except on some aspects, for me there are some unexpected oddities.

For most people crazy about Japan though you have to admit a lot of them (not necessarily this guy but a lot of them) are really just interested in niche aspects of Japanese pop culture.
