Hello everyone! You can call me Yui. Sorry, I may make mistakes in the text because English is not my native language. I would like to ask those who have moved from another country to live in Japan what you have been through and if you can give any advice. I have a difficult situation in general, I have been wanting to move for a long time, I live in Russia, in the territory that was part of Ukraine 10 years ago. I'm also an orphan, I only have my aunt, who took over home care when my parents died. I was 8 years old at the time. My aunt is very nice, but my relationship with her is too complicated, we don't understand each other, I'm 22 years old, she's 65 years old. I'm graduating from university next year, my specialty is animation. As well as my first college education, I am a stylist/hairdresser. Going back to my aunt, she seems to love me, but she always calls it a disappointment that I'm not as good as my parents, that my passion for cosplay is terrible, and the fact that I work as an anime voice actress won't bring me money. It's hard for me under her eternal pressure, and after graduation, I want to get away from my family in order to maintain good relations with them, as well as fulfill my dream of moving to Japan and taking language courses. But I only have $16,000. I can't work anywhere, it's forbidden at my university, the exception is that job, because of which I won't miss classes, and I often have classes from 8:00 to 17:40, and then homework at home. What should I do better? I'm learning Japanese on my own, I know it at a basic level, and I've studied the visa system. But I'm afraid I might not be able to and there will be a huge shortage of money. I will be glad of your advice, I'm sorry That it's so confusing, maybe I made mistakes somewhere, ask questions, I will definitely clarify.
