A few weeks ago I traveled to Japan and completely loved this country. Beautiful, totally clean and safety streets, polite people, tasty food, TOILETS AMAZING!!! And I’m thinking about to move there. Not necessarily Tokyo or other big city.
I’m 35, from big Siberian city (little more than 1M people). Yeh, it’s the one of the biggest cities in Russia. Worked as barista in coffeehouses and salesman in electronics stores. Now I’m learning to make leather goods. And want to make money with it. It’ll be cool if I can do it in Japan, but I’m ready to work in different specialty.
Yes, travelling and migration are little different things. Yes, I’ll have to work very hard. I need more practice for my English and learn Japanese. I know about thousands Japanese leather workers and big competition. It will be really hard, but life in my country really getting worse every day:
* prices (+~100 in the last three years) and taxes are rising, salaries – not
* censorship in movies, books and music
* spying everywhere by tovarisch mayor
* blocking a big part of non-Russian internet. We call it a Cheburnet.
* militarisation and everyday patriotic propaganda on TV, schools and kindergartens
* and more other bad things
Someday live here will get better, but time is going and I don’t getting younger.
So, what are my chances to find a job and earn money for rent, food and some entertainment? Or more chances to marry a rich beautiful young Japanese woman and get Japanese citizenship? )
