Fine idea and also rewards those willing to take a step out of the mythical Yamato cultural bubble...

I'm more interested in hearing how an FG like me can make the escape.

If I knew the answer to that, do you think I'd still be stuck here now?

Well...we'll find out if they can make it once they move out of J-Land.

It helps if you don't have (m)any ties to cut. At least it did in my case.

You just do it. Get up, walk out the door, and leave.

Leaving Japan is not the issue. Not having anywhere to go is.

Any idea where you would want to go?

I dream of living in Kenya as a Russian woman's kept man. Any idea how I could go about achieving that?

I was actually made an offer once by a rich Chinese Thai girl. She even told me I could get some on the side after we were married. I knew better than to accept that deal though. There was no way it was going to end well. Did I mention that she was violent and mentally unstable?

Got an email where i could send a resume...

But this topic is starting to get me thinking (sort of a new condition for me, not used to do that...)

And beside the troublesome "where could one go" (as in possibility) i would not even be abul to know where i would like to go...

The usual asian city mess is getting unbearable... england is full of chavs, and much less cool than in the times of queen Victoria... in a 1984 kind of way... Suede Norway is full of cold... Germany is full of closet nazis or worse... germans... africa/south america, no place to go when you are used to indoor plumbing... Middle east and france... full of islamofascistes...

Have you considered job sharing with Samurai Jerk?

Worried you might end up the American version of Neil Heywood?

Yeah, I also know that where ever I do go I'll end up sick of it and wanting to leave a few years later. I'll never be happy as long as I have to work for a living. I would go back to the US but no job opportunities and no health insurance make that tough.

[Screwed-down Hairdo]

Going back to God's Own (Godzone?) as soon as I can...and absolutely petrified of doing so, to be honest.

A DUTCH company has announced it wants to colonise Mars and plans to send four astronauts to the red planet to start operations by 2022.

You could sign me up but they would need an extra booster rocket to lift my fat arse off the ground.

This is my standing now... I want to go back home, but no jobs worth taking or a job that can cover all our healthcare costs, living costs, and relocating costs.

Tickets home 5 months in advance for a family of 4 runs around USD6k, plus all the other BS of moving... looking at 12 grand to get everything done how my wife wants it to be.

Fuck it, just rot here or hope we all deteriorate from radiation.

It seems that a lot of people are indeed escaping from Japan:

For some reason... this feels like a celebration... all the old jiji's breaking down and putting their ties on their head piss drunk...

Couldn't be blasting samba, too risky the Brazilians would change their mind and come back...





...and show them how to throw a proper matsuri!

Or just wait for the next tsunami and have your belongings wash up on USA beaches. Much cheaper than the alternative.

You can stamp your luggage with something like "French laundry" and just wait til it ends up back in your country...even in Japan, French exchange students are famous for not showering or changing their clothes for almost a week
