Im american born & for numerous reasons am starting my 5 yr plan to eventually move to Japan. with such a life altering decision I figured a Pro & Con list should be made. Theres not a lot of reasons for me to stay in the states. Most of my friends are long distance already now as theyve moved away, my only family close by is my mama & my 7month old son (obviously my son would move with me) & I do not yet have a career. Im 28, sober, I do take epilepsy medication (lacosamide) only speak English & conversational Spanish as of right now, am a single mother & am very exhausted of the bigotry & direction the US is heading/already in. Dont think it matters but Im Lebanese & white. my son is Lebanese, black & white. Is there anyone out there that moved from Japan to the States & why? Is there anything you miss or anything you like about the US that convinced you to stay?
