ass is always greener

Postby privileged » Sun May 28, 2023 12:23 am

I lived in Tokyo nearly 7 years and moved home around 12 years ago. A lot has happened, I have a wife and a kid now and honestly, not a day goes by I don't think about Japan.

Do any young people or people who arrived in Japan relatively recently post here? I get the feeling it's longer-termers, which is great also, just curious.

Anyway, if you live there, enjoy and live it up.

It could be anything. If I wanna meet up with friends for drinks, this city is such that you're probably looking at a $30 Uber each way if you wanna avoid driving, not to mention a round of drinks these days can easily be $80 w/ tip. There is plenty that can be annoying in either country and it's probably best not to overthink it. I don't actively wish I lived in Japan, but having lived there for a while and having moved back leaves me this convenient outlet to bitch about nearly anything by thinking to myself "Well, in Japan..." but of course that isn't really fair.

I will say at a minimum a city you can walk around in safely at night with everything open and essentially no crime is really something.

Here if you're on a side street (the huge majority of the city) and you get mugged the police are pretty much like well yeah, that happens. And I'm a guy. I can't imagine being a woman trying to walk to a car after dark on a regular basis. Fucking shitshow but hey, freedom.

ETA - good to see that 8 years ago I was posting about pretty much the exact same thing.

Bro. This site died years ago.

The entire world is circling the drain. Woke left-wing extremists and their Alphabet People acolytes are ushering in a neo-Bolshevistic nightmare the Soviets could only dream of.

We need to think of only survival at this point. Where do you think you can best survive?

Sometimes the answer is Tokyo but you know, 1) I'm pretty pot committed here and 2) if I lived in Tokyo I'd probably say here
