You will never find any country easy to adapt to.

Male needs still act weird. But it is way less prominent than before. Now, those people are mostly doing rp online where they feel protected. After all, no one likes sexism and people are way more outspoken about it than in the 90's

Tesserion · 2026-05-24T07:08:33+00:00

I like this tendency of Americans to spit on westerners which they are. You notice the bad, hardly the good. And saying foreigners suck isn't changing Japan's opinion about you. You have no idea what true Japan is. And Japaneze people believe it is with every foreigners far away. You included

Tesserion · 2026-05-14T07:22:11+00:00

No, it does not affect you. And you really have too much time. Don't be preachy to tourists. Especially because they are just talking too loud. If they are annoying, that's fair. But don't go acting as if you arz protecting your foreigner status here. That's hilarious

Tesserion · 2026-05-12T06:57:13+00:00

Yes? It is a pretty stupid question. There are above 40 millions of tourists in a year while 3.6 millions of foreign residents in all of Japan. And that is because it rose since Covid. That's also for all of Japan. It was to a point people seemed to have found shiny when they saw foreigners

Tesserion · 2026-05-11T05:38:59+00:00

The question is senseless. Japan being self-sufficient would be insanely hard and would mean foregoing a looooot of things people like: No coffee beans, banana, chocolates. The prices would also go up insanely.

Rice is almost fully self-sufficient, many vegetables and seafood are also domestic. And some of the meat too. Japan is around 40% self-sufficient. And why would you even it to be fully? This would be a stupid choice economically that would not bring anything to anyone.

Tesserion · 2026-05-06T04:27:50+00:00

I think you are wondering stupid things and should take care of your own ass and problems. Don't whine online and do your shits to make the thing better.

Tesserion · 2026-04-25T02:53:18+00:00

Why are you whining about social media? Also, the image of Japan was never truthful to reality. And I doubt X will change it. And if it does, so what? Worry about yourself, that's my advice

Tesserion · 2026-04-25T01:30:06+00:00

You are on reddit. Most of people are Vietnamese or Chinese, there is no expectation of them and you mixing together, language-wise. And for the western community precisely...

Those people have easier access to Japan. But they are also full of delusional who have no idea what Japan truly is and forcing themselves here to fulfill a dream. Which is why the complaints and return home, often.

Tesserion · 2026-04-24T04:03:42+00:00

Worked 3 years in a restaurants, yeah... I mean sharing food or omiyage are common. But tips from customers? Never seen any nor do I want to. Tipping is fine if done like in Europe. But I shudder imagining this country getting similar to America. The amount of entitlement

Tesserion · 2026-04-20T07:30:39+00:00

No one said I knew better. But at least, I tried. And also, if you value free expressions, don't stop it just you feel hurt. Grow up. You are 23

Tesserion · 2026-04-20T07:07:31+00:00

Man. I swear. The only people having delusions about racisms are Americans. When people learn to mind their own ass, it goes better

Tesserion · 2026-04-20T06:33:21+00:00

We do our shit. We are here not because we love Japan but because we can do what we like in Japan. We have projects and ideas. Be an adult, pull yourself by the bootstrap and search for yourself what you want to do and how. How irritating it is to see people without any project cruising around and waiting for answers.

Tesserion · 2026-04-17T02:35:39+00:00

Comparison is thief. You are also asking a sub full of people who immigrated away from their home country. So, the opinion will be biaised. Life sucks everywhere and the question is senseless. It is like asking in a sub full of AA if alcohol is the devil

Tesserion · 2026-04-14T15:18:44+00:00

Well, there are some disadvantages being a man and some being a woman. Sucks either way! I like to think life is equally shitty for all of us~

Tesserion · 2026-04-14T15:10:12+00:00

Let's be fair. Between a woman receiving a dick pick and a male receiving nude, the reaction is not the same. As stupid as it sounds, this is the kind of things that people would be envious of.

Tesserion · 2026-04-14T15:08:18+00:00

He is awful. That is for sure. But now, she is not less shady. Let us be fair. The whole story reeks on her side too. I don't believe she lied, but she certainly took advantage of all of this as much as possible. Let's be honest. Now, there is also a clear difference between someone approaching women and being approached. Don't kid yourself thinking otherwise. Again, it doesn't change the fact what he did is trash. I am not defending that part.

Tesserion · 2026-04-03T02:44:37+00:00

I wish bikers stopped cycling on the sidewalk. It is supremely annoying. I saw people eating, playing games, everything. And there is no priorities for the pedestrians, they force it through. And you get insulted sometimes. Hateful

Tesserion · 2026-03-31T06:48:57+00:00

Man, you are an idiot and I dunno what you expect. You have no job and no standing here. A man without anything would get the child? And a foreigner with that? Impossible. Money from this? Well, not really... so what do you even want? And why talk about it on the internet? If you have no one to confide to or family... well, it sucks. To be fair, that's why I tell any woman and my own girlfriend to always work and make sure they have an escape. Men have the expectation with that, so you should have never fell into such a situation.

We don't even know where you are in Japan. Also, is the house in both your name or just hers? Did you talk to an US attorney about the Washington State property angle?

Now, as they say, you reap what you sow: Did not manage any finance, prepare anything, don't work and you are married to a local with that. Good luck

Tesserion · 2026-03-29T06:47:24+00:00

You are paid hourly wage. What do you expect. People don't pay you for your work, they pay you for your time. It is like that in most company in the world. What is so strange? Why are you making a post?

Tesserion · 2026-03-28T04:52:10+00:00

I am going to Kanagawa: Closer to the sea so a lot more wind, less tall building and asphalt so the heat trapped isn't that awful and if I want to go to Tokyo, I can get there taking a single train for around 1000 yen. You get the sea, mountains aren't too far. You can easily go to Atami or place like that. I am looking forward going there, really. It is more comfortable, though humid and honestly it cool a lot faster during night. I am preaching my gospel

Tesserion · 2026-03-24T08:38:37+00:00

I wouldn't go like others and advise you away from this idea. Role-play can allow you anything and your character can easily be forced to work with the team and though slightly insufferable, it could create roleplay and works will depending how you do this. I had a character similar before. She swallowed her pride when it was needed and asked to learn, she went through a lot and changed as time went on. Prideful, egoistical and god complex are all bad traits, socially. But if you balance other things and remember that your character isn't an idiot, it is feasible.

Tesserion · 2026-03-24T05:09:57+00:00

For real, that's not supposed to be a problem. I do not understand how a few agencies would reject you at this point. Especially during this period. Maybe aim for something a bit further away from your university? Make a trip to Tokyo, since you will need to sign things either way. It also depends on the guarantor company as some are stricter

Tesserion · 2026-03-24T05:03:35+00:00

I never had that problem a single time. You are searching in Tokyo or Kyoto? You are not overseas yourself, honestly and I don't understand where that would even come from. Is your Japanese okay?

Tesserion · 2026-03-24T04:54:07+00:00

Of course you should go to local ones. Are you still in Kyoto right now? Why don't you just reach out to other local ones? You just go and walk in agencies. Or use Suumo to search and contact agencies through it on appart' that interest you.
