But anon, that's how I am posting pictures.

No one living here is going to waste time posting photos like this. It's pure escapism for people on /jp/ who hate their lives and want to live in japan.

>>16651980
Correct interpretation actually. Because,
a) I am living in Japan
b) I am posting photos in this thread
c) I have been on 4chan for over a decade
So what he said absolutely applied to me and he is trying to tell me, in my situation, what I wouldn't do.

>>16657454
my advice is no good anyways
Do people litter in Japan or not because I've seen little to no litter in any images I've seen. Everything's so clean it's wild.
>>16659375
No, basically nobody litters in Japan. It would be wrong to say that absolutely nobody does, but it's extremely uncommon.
>>16660496
It isn't that uncommon, really, but in the big cities especially they hire a lot of people to clean up and I would say that the public in general are more likely to pick up trash.
The only problem is that rubbish bins are quite uncommon, generally only around places like convenience stores, shopping malls and the such, which means if you find some trash you want to get rid of you might even have to go as far as taking it home.
keeping the space around their homes/stores clean is a "normal" thing to do.
company employees get involved.

>>16657454
Been here for over a year now and I love it, Its truly 30 years ahead of its time.
Only advice I can give is to learn basic conversation phrases like restroom and how much, that sort of thing. Oh and also take a whole bunch of pictures but make sure to stop taking them to appreciate it in reality.
>>16663647
How is it down there? I thought about taking a job down in Okinawa, but I got a better gig in Tokyo.
>>16663679
Its outstanding if you like laid back beach life, other than that its a hit or miss with the day to day. Id rather have my job on the mainland and visit Okinawa during the summers, but tickets are like 80 usd so im not complaining.
How is living in Tokyo? Only been there twice and it was only for a few days
also any city pictures you might have Im def interested
>>16663683
I was kind of concerned about finding long-term employment in Okinawa, so I figured the mainland was safer. I'd still like to visit though, or move down there if I can work freelance someday.
Tokyo's not bad at all. Rent is cheap in the north/east side, and you can get out into the country if you want without much trouble.
>>16663658

>>16663734
btw I love the police here in Japan, its like there here not to try to get you in trouble but to protect and provide help to the people. Also its great seeing them on the highways because they keep their lights on at all times so you know when to be on your best driving behavior.
found an old shrine while hiking in the middle of absolute no where, the ashes we in ceramic bowls
>>16659375
I read a while back that people who were playing pokemon go littered while playing their game and the people in the neighborhood cleaned it up the next day. Since that made the news it's probably really unusual to get inconsiderate people littering intentionally.
>>16664063
>Thanks I actually added it to my places to visit in my starred locations when I spend a week on the mainland next month
Depending when you go you might be in for a treat, Fukushima has a fuckton of blossom trees which I mostly missed last year and will mostly miss this year because I am being moved to another city.

>>16691151
Quick question. Are you really expected and forced to not communicate to students in Japanese? It just seems so backwards in my eyes. Assuming that the information I heard secondhand wasn't false, anyways.
>>16691166
Basically, yes.
However, if you want to use a word they don't know or some grammar they don't know yet then there's nothing really wrong with inserting some Japanese so they understand.
Your goal should be to not speak Japanese sentences.
Though my experience so far is all Junior High School. Even in Elementary School they expect you not to use Japanese, but in Elementary School the kids just learn throw away phrases, not really learning anything about the grammar so it would be even worse in Elementary School because they won't really learn how to respond to anything other than those set phrases.

You don't.
>>16693523
Don't even try applying for Japanese companies, which is also good advice for those who didn't drop out of high school.
If you can already make a living wherever you are now, going to Japan as a tourist is fairly easy so just save up some money.

I wish this were true for third-worlders like myself. Getting a tourism Visa is hard as fuck because of the requirements (getting a certified first-hand invitation from a Japanese citizen, the fuck?).

How popular is graffiti in japan? And by that I mean the ugly stuff people spray on trains and houses in cities.
>>16720724
If you compare to some place like NY, there really isn't a lot (especially not on trains). But there are scribbles here and there in some back alleys.
>>16630634
False. A college friend of mine was a skelly weaboo socially isolated guy who took photos as a hobby. He moved to Japan and married a hot japanese wife and he still lives there and he still takes photos. He probably still haunts this board, if for no other reason than to share his photos of Japan.

I'm not the first Anon you were replying to (although by coincidence I'm also visiting in June to tour some of the local train lines) but moving there to work is part of my long term plan. I've been lots of times.
I'm in no rush and I'm waiting to see what happens to the country after the Olympics. Plus I need to study more.
I also meant working in aviation over there is really awesome, it's the other subject I wish I'd pursued. I'm planning on doing my PPL next year.
>>16729226
I am glad you recognize the importance of studying the field you want to get in. Japan works like most other 1st world countries where if you do not have a specific skill or profession they will not allow you to get a perm visa or live there indefinitely; or you could fall in love with a Japanese citizen and get it that way.
Aviation is the tits over here, they take it very seriously and work hard, so for me my job is easy since everyone puts in the time and effort.

Good for you man, make the best out of it.
>>16729270
1st anon you were replying too
I was thinking about going to a Vocational college in Japan, and Yes, I wish I could move permanently to the country. I'm already studying here (Japanese that is). I already speak German, Portuguese, English and some French - naturally these aren't related to Japanese but I can learn really fast since I'm already experienced with language learning and I know what works for me.
I AM in a hurry because I live in a shithole and I NEED to get the fuck out of here asap. Not only that but I really like Japan's culture, the language, the land itself. Call me weeb, no fucks given really.
The problem is I don't have the funds to make it happen and it probably won't, so I live in this eternal cycle of misery of feeling bad about myself and not having the energy to do much to change my situation while waiting for my inevitable doom.
Just a few weeks ago someone broke into my house (this was like, what, the 4th or 5th time I think...).
Sometimes it just makes me feel better knowing that someone was capable of going there and realizing their dream (if it even was a dream for you?)
Anyway, as you can see I'm depressed and have been extremely unhappy with my life for more than 12 years now - so I won't bother you further with it, I know it's annoying listening to some sad sack of shit.
Have a good one m8.
>>16730331

>speaking of cars
who here knows anything about the Japanese car industry? My Bb was around 2k USD and the insurance was 170 USD for the entire YEAR; who here can share some stories?
>>16730623
I don't know about you, but at least here, public schools do a really poor job engaging students with the material. Not all of them mind you, but there's that disconnect between teachers and students and it ends up feeling more like a job than education and you're just there because you have to be there.
My college experience has been the exact opposite, so I guess that's where all the people who actually want to teach are.

Haven't done any of those myself so I have no idea how difficult it is, but I've known several people who've come to attend or research at schools here, as well as a number of engineering students who did the KIT language program. You probably will need monies though.

That blend between old and modern is what is largely so interesting to me. Like both the Chinese and Japanese said, learn from the West, take their superior technology, make them your own and overtake the foreigner.
How did we in the West just forget about our own history and cultural identity, while the Japanese seem to have kept their dignity and heritage to some degree. It's really pleasant to see.
>>16757580
Europoors have cultural identity. 'Murrikans and Aussies don't because their countries are built on killing off and suppressing the existing cultures and barely have anything to replace it with yet.

Don't have pictures of it, but try googling for Sanya (山谷) in Tokyo. It's a very poor area with a lot of homeless old people that Japanese society ignores.
Thought I guess if you're from NY or San Fran (or Paris or London) it won't be anything you haven't seen in worse.
I got moved from Fukushima to Higashimatsushima. Now I have tsunami risk, yay, but also I get to see the sea, which isn't anything special as I lived near the sea for most of my life before coming to Japan.

It was kinda sad today, I popped into Sendai and at Tsutsujigaoka park they had signs and stalls up for Hanami but there were zero fucking blossoms out so far.
I can't really compare it with any other years but this year seems to be pretty late.
>>16813628
Yes it is a little late.
It is weird. According to the news, Sakura are blooming in Tokyo, but here in Kyoto they have yet to start.
>>16813857
Yeah, on TV today I saw that Tokyo was in full bloom and it was questioning when it would be in Osaka.
Though I think that usually Tokyo is before Kansai area.

lol watermarking your shitty photo. pleb as shit
So how do I go to Japan for Masters/work?
3d year economics student +5 languages(4 fluent).
Is that complicated to get to japanese uni as a foreigner?
>>16819716
Seconding this. I'm going to be entering a four year as a transfer in September, and I'd like to head to Japan for my masters.

I don't actually know many people coming as students, especially from the west since Japanese universities aren't exactly considered good.
You guys are probably better off looking up the details of exchange programs of various universities, I know Waseda has a one year study abroad program for example.
>>16819716
>3d year economics student +5 languages(4 fluent).
If none of those languages are Japanese it doesn't matter. Usually classes for international students are offered in English anyway.
>>16819964
I'd heard you can get a job teaching english with a bachelor's, which is why I was considering it.
>>16819964
>Japanese universities aren't exactly considered good.
Aren't they? Do you have some insights about the situation with education there then? Since I've read a lot of controversial stuff on this topic. Can you work, while studying?
>If none of those languages are Japanese it doesn't matter
No, unfortunately. It's: Russian, English, Hebrew, Italian, Arabic.
I figured some other teachers/instructors would be necessary, apparently not.
Do you work as an English teacher? What are the conditions? Do you not regret that you came?

What you're looking for is the JET program, look it up.
>>16820089
Essentially Japanese university students pretty much fuck around the whole time, waiting to apply for jobs at Japanese corporations during their last years. Getting accepted to the university is the actually hard part. I don't know about the postgrad stuff, but I've heard it described as "third world research standards".
And I'm not in Japan anymore, originally went to work in IT and career progression opportunities just weren't too great there. The work culture of Japanese companies I wouldn't want to touch with a 10 foot pole either, you can find a lot of lot of horror stories about Rakuten for example (even in English) and they're fairly representative.
>>16820566
I'm too old for the JET program. Oh well, maybe I'll get my masters elsewhere.
>>16820566
I see. Thanks for the info. There is a lot of stuff to consider now.

I am getting my PhD in Japan, and completed my Masters in Japan last year.
You apply to a Japanese Masters Program. If it is a program in Japanese you will need at least N1. English language requires being a native of ~780 TOEIC score. If you are good enough with languages to speek four like a native, this should be no issue.
Keep in mind, unless you tend to stay in Japan, a Japanese degree is less useful than an American one. American universities are still considered the center, so to speak, of the academic world. Postgrad at a Japanese university is not "third-world research standards" like the other anon said, but it certainly ain't ivy league either.
You can work up to 28 hours per week on a student visa. No real limits other than nothing considered vulgar (host club, pachinko parlor, JAV star, etc.). I currently work at a cram school and teach English at a Japanese university part time. Along with TAing a few classes.

brits actually have the best teeth in the world, been studies done and their dental healthcare is actually really good and free to anyone under 18 so the kids get there teeth sorted if they are bad, american are among the worser but they dont seem like it cause they have them straightened and whitened and japs are just shit
>>16820586
>I'm too old for the JET program.
You can try a private company, like Interac. I got a job with them at 31.

Went out and got a few pictures today, but the trees are still kinda spotty.
