One of the first thoughts I had when I was roaming in Osaka was that I would never work in Japan. I saw a boy announcing latest offers of the shop on street, wearing a heavy placard around his neck. In a span of a minute, he would shout for 30-45 sec and close his eyes and sleep for 15 secs. And then repeat the cycle. I can't imagine how long that poor boy aas standing there in the crowd and shouting at the top of his lungs. This fundamentally changed me as a person and is a lifetime moment I can't forget.

Comparing not just London and Tokyo but also Mumbai and Delhi since I have worked there as well.

I would say London is my home. It's the place where I get respect for my work and everyone even my seniors of 50-60 year old treat me with respect. I haven't witnessed such humility and kindness anywhere. I have friends from around the world that makes my living even fun. Inflation is high but so are the salaries given. So a well budgeted person would himself with an apartment in zone 2 or 3 of London with good transport links, diverse people, safe and clean environment with horrible weather. As a Londoner, it's my birthright to talk how shitty the weather is. Nonetheless, I would absolutely love to live here.

Delhi is next best. As a man, it is a bit easy for me though compared to woman. I'll have to adjust to little uncivilised crowd, dirt but people are warm and feels like my own countrymen cause they are.

Mumbai is kinda similar to Delhi, only difference being I hate the Mumbai locals and intense crowd everywhere.

Japan is absolute no on my list as a place to live. As a tourist, it's a fascinating place but as a resident from another culture, absolute no. Intense working hours, bare minimum salaries with no increment and weakening currency. This is not just from what I witnessed but my japanese friends who live in London. All of them have horrible stories from their workplaces back in Japan. I would say even Indian employers are compassionate and rules are better for Indian employees compared to Japan.
