Life in Japan, a reply

I'm going to leave this entry open to anyone, since it's a reply to a friend's blog about living in Japan. This isnt an argument or a rebuttal or whatever. It's just what came to mind when I read the orignal

Thank you for writing such things down. When I was younger and before I went to Japan for the first time I was like "omg, everything is so awesome in Japan" but when I arrived I felt so lost and I always thought my Japanese is good enough to talk about basic stuff but actually it is not. And I kinda started to hate certain things when I came back to Japan this year but there are also a lot of things I miss when it comes to Japan because my country simply sucks in so many ways. Now I know that Japan isn't wonderland as long as you can't escape anymore. It might be nice to live there for a while but I think I would freak out after a while. I'm very impressed that you made it 9 years already. I wouldn't be strong enough to live in Japan.

I'm glad you understand my feelings. Even after posting this, I was worried that it might sound bad and get alot of "if Japan sucks so much, go home" replies!

Why would I say such things? It's your home, you had to deal with lots of things and you have your husband and baby in Osaka.. I would never say such things, it's stupid and way too easy.

I dont mean that YOU would say those kinds of things, but I was worried about that kind of response from people in general.

You know, that answer - 'Go home then' has actually been deemed the stupidest thing to say to someone living abroad ever *lol*

And yeah, for now I have to stay in France. Moving here was such a savings drainer and shock that now I have no money to go anywhere, and no clue where I even want to go. At least I have my kitten though..

Kitties DO help!

Don't you worry, only you know the truth.. about -your- life, right?
