You're such a boring characterless entity. Try getting laid once in a while and maybe you'll have friends and find out what a "joke" is. - derrate

I lived in Japan for seven years from 2012 to 2019. Will be moving back there this March. After living there for so long, I thought I wouldn't mind returning to the US for a year, but I definitely do miss Japan.

So like, if you're not fluent in Japanese, what's the best way to get along with locals? Should I just ask until I get someone who speaks English? Should I attempt to speak to them, but lean on Google translate if I don't think I'll be able to hold the conversation? Or should I just avoid speaking to anyone and just rely on all the tablets and automated shit they have for foreigners?

That. Not bothering other people is a big part of Japanese culture. If you need help people will be happy to help, but you should try to avoid it if it is possible to do it yourself.

That certainly isn't going to be the case all the time. In many places you shouldn't be surprised if you get the hole in the floor Chinese style toilets.

Aw I was looking forward to practicing speaking it while there.

FTR when I said asking people, i didn't mean random strangers. I meant employees at places.

Oh I know all about that lol. Luckily, most tourist destinations, especially hotels, have well maintained bidets.

Anyone have the greasemonkey script to recognize Kanji?

I see what I want to believe
Europe
Speak

I can't remember, it's been a while since I last studied, and those are simple simple ones.

Since when did Kanji become a language?

How long was I asleep for?

I love Japan as a place to visit, but I would never live there. No matter how well you learn the language and culture, you will always be a gaijin or outsider in the eyes of most Japanese.

Good news :- Japan is more open to immigrants now more than ever for political reasons.

Bad news :- Unless drastic reforms are taken, it's currently a nation in decline living on borrowed time.

That doesn't have to be a bad thing. None of the other foreign people I know in Japan who plan to live there permanently care about it. It can be an advantage at times too. The only thing it sucks for is renting.

going to the world's largest city and not having to worry about getting involved in a crime.

Have you been to NYC, Chicago, LA? Guess what, they aren't assholes like they are by far!

Clean af

Efficient af

I'm black and nobody gave af. I know there's deeper **** than that, but in the states, you could be 35% African and they will let you know for sure that your black on a surface level.

Wtf is keeping you here then?
Buy a one way ticket to Japan and gtfo already.
