Well its official... I am planning to move to japan to live.
Its a feeling i have had for quite some time, i was prepared to leave in december 2008, but i met Shan and we had a serious relationship, so i put off moving for obvious reasons. Anywhoo now Shan and i have been living together for quite some time now, and i just can't shake that feeling of wanting to escape the RUDE and DANGEROUS and POORLY THOUGHT OUT country that is australia.
I am not alone in this feeling either, my good friend Aiko is planning to move back to japan, and also close friend Tsuyoshi plans to move back to Okinawa in the future.
I think that japanese living outside of japan who have lived inside of Japan for part of the life, they miss japan and hate the country they live in.
Every NIKKEIJIN (japanese living out of japan) who i speak with seems to feel this. My non-Japanese friends sometimes tell me how "great" australia is, but the reality is that they have not been to another FIRST WORLD COUNTRY... I feel that one you go outside of australia and visit any other first world country, that you will see how lacking australia is.
Another thing i am worried about is the SHIT australian economy that devalues itself every year due to poor managemnent and other issues that i will not go on about. Couple that with a MASSIVELY increaing crime rate and the fact that australians are getting more irritable ever year, as well as dumber (as in less educated), and bang... what's a fucking shit country with no future !!
Anywhoo, I have 3 weeks in japan, and in that time i plan to look at all my future options as well as having fun. I am no longer a Japanese citizen, so when i return from japan i have to have a VERY GOOD THINK about my future options in the country as far as working visas and eventually gaining a japanese citizenship.... I have a lot of stress on my plate at the moment, as japan is the hardest country in the world to get working visas and eventually citizenship.
It seems i can do a working holiday visa easily, but that only lasts for one year, and i do not think it can be extended, so my best outcome is to get a japanese working visa and keep extending it each year... but it seems that to geta japanese working visa i must have a degree in anything. maybe i will do a TAFE course for one year to get a degree... but the hassel is that i have to ENDURE another year of hell in australia, maybe there is some way that i can do the working holiday in japan and do a tafe course by distance education, that way i dont have to live in this HELL ON EARTH AUSTRALIA for too long. sigh... so much stress, but it will all be worth it to once again live in my HOME COUNTRY...
GANBARIMASU YO !!!
