I think I may have contemplated returning to America a dozen times. Reason being, cheeseburgers, chili-cheeseburgers and fatty fast food like Taco Bell. I also miss using English to communicate most of my needs and to challenge my career more. However, the quality of life and standard of living is low in comparison to Japan. I'm so used to the quality of food you can buy in Japan, the diversity of choices when it comes to restaurants. I love the efficiency of the mass transit system. I love the safety and the orderliness in society. How can you leave??

On 05-31-2011, 10:12 AM Osakadave said he was living in the States.
Previously, he had been threatening to leave Japan in the FG posts: 09/15/2009 and 09/16/2009 as well as the time he tried Korea briefly too.
There are other graduates of Japan who no longer have a need to visit the FG Forum include FG member No. 2, "kamome", who hasn't posted here since 03-14-2010 and bikklethe owner who hasn't publicly posted since 05-24-2011.
