(41,759 posts)Japanese and Part Swedish, and she lives in Japan. She is so unhappy there and has never felt at home there ever. She has always talked about trying to find a way for her and her Husband to come to America.. she visited here once.. and was impressed with how different it is.
I have told friends, even though I am Japanese with a sprinkle of Hawaiian blood, I would never survive there, once I opened my mouth and spoke. I am too foreign to be there, and yet.. after seeing a film like that..I would never want to be.
People have this notion its like living in an Anime but its not. Even Jdorama is so different than what real life is like there, but it seems appealing. I guess it has to be to be entertaining to those who live there.
I have met too many people on line who want to go and live in Japan. I have warned them..but to no avail. I guess at some point harsh reality will set in on them that they made a mistake, if they do go and live there, especially being a foreigner.
My one friend told me every day, they asked him ..."So when will you be returning to America?" He has lived there eight years.
