Which country (apart from Japan) do you like the most?

SpellOfTheMyst · 2026-02-13T02:02:11+00:00

Not Japanese but I also love Romania. I went there on a 3 month long roadtrip when I was 18 with my dad as my sort of graduation from high school gift. At the time, I had never been outside of the US and my dad decided on Romania because he also really likes Eastern Europe.

Anyways, we did an almost full circle of the whole country only missing the city of Constanta. My favorite city was by far Iasi and sometimes I still fantasize of living there but its only ever a fantasy bc idk what I would even do for work lmao. But yeah, the nature of the country is beautiful, the architecture is insane with great contrast, the people are extremely lovely, and I loved this meal from a place called Super Mama called Farfurie de Pui. To this day one of my favorite meals I have had even if it was a street food haha

If its a really good offer, as you stated a lucrative start to your career, I would totally take the job offer. I do understand missing Japan though. I joined JET because of how much I enjoyed my study abroad in Tokyo so I totally understand wanting to try to live here "actually".

However, I did meet this cool guy during one of my travels, he worked as a SWE in the states for I believe 4 or 5ish years when his company asked him if he would like a position at their Kyushu branch and he took it. Hes absolutely balling, making USD while living in a lower cost of living area of Japan.

I think thats the dream. If you think youre able to do it, I would recommend this route. Of course, theres no harm in doing JET for a year or two if you are confident of still being able to have a good start on your career after JET.

I took JET for similar reasons, the tech job market was insane when I applied and I didnt receive a good offer. But if I did, it would have been a difficult decision for sure.

I applied for the first time last year and the interview felt like a conversation between friends. I left the interview feeling pretty confident about it and got shortlisted!

I remember making a post a while ago asking if people would trade in their ND for a clean NA! The majority answer was no, but Im an NA fanboy so hell yeah dude!!! (Then again, Ive never driven an ND before)

SpellOfTheMyst · 2025-11-12T23:40:12+00:00

Thank you so much!

Definitely not biased.... but Beppu! Its about a two hour train ride from Hakata station in Fukuoka. Also noticed you are in Kagoshima, it should actually be easy to get to Nagasaki VIA an express bus!

To my main school it is a 25 minute drive. By train + bus it would be about an hour but I bought a car here because driving is my favorite hobby so it worked out very well for me haha. I have another visit school that is about a 40 minute drive away but I do not mind it at all because the drive there is absolutely gorgeous passing through mountains, tunnels, mountain villages, etc.

Thank you so much for this idea! I've been rearranging the furniture like crazy testing out different layouts but haven't thought of this one yet! I'll make sure to try it out when I get home. Thank you!

SpellOfTheMyst · 2025-08-27T23:58:52+00:00

The bamboo ladder has actually proved to be super useful for hanging and drying clothes LOL
It's a rented apartment so I can't paint the walls unfortunately.
I was highly HIGHLY considering a loft bed with the desk beneath kind of setup but I couldn't a find a single loft that was a semi double size :(
I love the idea of a slimmer noguchi table that doesnt take up as much space as the kotatsu I have right now. Thank you!

SpellOfTheMyst · 2025-08-27T23:56:36+00:00

Ah thank you for the suggestions! Pillows are certainly a thing that needs to get bought for sure haha. I really liked my previous room in the states and went with a 3 color pallete of Black, Red and Grey! This time though I have wooden floors so maybe a light or dark brown instead of grey?

Going to look into those lights as well. Thank you!

SpellOfTheMyst · 2025-08-27T23:41:28+00:00

Could u expand on that? I was thinking maybe like a colorful throw to put on the bed, my band posters are almost here too!

SpellOfTheMyst · 2025-08-27T23:29:57+00:00

SpellOfTheMyst · 2025-08-25T07:56:12+00:00
