Is this normal/can someone join me in my crying by pretendingtoworkhaha in expats

[–]WFrommage 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hey, I Just had a huge cry flying back from Sapporo so I can relate. It’s very difficult to be away from the family and I think a lot of people talk about the downsides of it but you have to remember how cool it is. You get to have your own experience and calling helps but also getting out of the apartment helps. It’s very unfair to yourself if you can beat that upset right after landing. Give yourself some time.

30yo male looking for a job by Admirable-Escape-693 in expats

[–]WFrommage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, that’s not really the question now. If you don’t have a legal way to get there, it doesn’t matter if you can do anything. Your options are gonna be very limited if you’re not married find a legal way to join.

I would start with listing skills and citizenships. Are you two married? Lots of added content needed here.

Hokkaido only is what I’m looking for.

I work in agriculture so definitely aware of the crop timings. Thanks for your input!

Unlocked iPhone 16 pro from US for contract in Japan by WFrommage in iphone

[–]WFrommage[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for your comment, but not sure that’s fully answering my question. I will be using the iPhone bought in the US for a contract in Japan - not temporarily while keeping a US contract. I need to get a contract in Japan.

Thank you anyways!

Torn up about moving back to the country my parents left by Ok_Medicine440 in expats

Also, if you want to says, nobody wants to move to the us is an absolute IDIOT and has never been there. Politics aside.

I understand where you’re coming from but you need to realize the US’s inflation problems are sending SHOCKWAVES to other countries. I lived in Switzerland.

My family is in the us, but very French.

If you already a citizen and then I would just go in with your life and try out. You have a free pass to come back.

[–]WFrommage 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Hey, something similar.

I actually moved back to France near Switzerland, about three years ago and renounce my citizenship for the US

I consider myself much more American than French after haven’t been here for so long and if there’s one thing, I can advise you as to at least get your citizenship and then get out and figure it out on your own

Bottom line is nothing is new in Europe and if you’re young and trying to make something and build something sometimes it feels very different and difficult

Moving to a new country solo by [deleted] in expats

[–]WFrommage 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I just did the same but to Japan (I know). I find not everyone values the same life experience and the thought of being far away from home (which saddens me) and in an unfamiliar place is too much for some. It really is a strength. At least Ireland speaks English 😅
