It was shocking to see how much better of a society Japan was when I visited. Really the one thing they don’t do as well as us is create shareholder value. To which I say, who gives a fuck?

Every former expat I've asked says the same thing.

Japan is for Japanese people.

Doesn't matter how long you live there or even if you were born there. If you don't look Japanese you're a foreigner.

Hugely sexist country though. Maybe it's nice for men to move there.

[–] slurpinderpin 2 points 5 months ago

Yeah 🤷🏻‍♂️ it was fantastic for me though and that’s all I can speak to

It' really seems like a great place to live. They don't seem on the verge of a civil war and aren't evil to each other. Has more of a everyone get along feel to it and who cares what you're into.
