This is something that I just posted on /a/. They told me to repost it here, and I thought it was worth a shot.

I live in Japan, and it fucking sucks. I made a thread about this a lonnnng time ago, but this bears repeating.

1. Anime and manga are more expensive in Japan. The prices are ridiculous, and it's hard for me to justify buying anime even though I feel it's important for fans to make an effort to support the industry.

2. If you are a girl, you will be groped and treated like shit. I have had men grab my ass in public *7* different times in the past year and a half. My Japanese friends say that women should just grit their teeth and bear it, since if you try to do something about it you will be publicly shamed. I also feel dirty and pathetic when these incidents occur.

3. Office culture in Japan is...intense. You are expected to show up at social gatherings even if you do not want to. And at these social gatherings people have the EXACT SAME CONVERSATIONS AGAIN AND AGAIN. I've had like 50 conversations on the power of beer to refresh you after a day's work. You have to say "good morning" every day in a very specific way, and if you don't then someone will approach you and tell you that's not how things are done at company XYZ.

4. The people treat gaijin like shit. Even the ones who try to be nice come across as condescending and rude by American standards. There are also a large number of Japanese men who think gaijin women are sluts and that they can get you to open your legs at the drop of a hat. Fuckers.

I wish all the Japanohiles could actually visit GLORIOUS NIPPON. They'd change their tune.

Because in Japan, after a show has aired on TV, it is NEVER AIRED AGAIN. You MUST buy the DVDs if you missed an episode (or just download of course), there are no reruns. So they are in much higher demand = higher prices.

Expensive? If you're from the States, yes, it might be. Going to a restaurant in Japan is cheap as fuck compared to Norway where I live. Hell, everything is more expensive here. The expensive part differs from where you live.
Also, as I don't live in Japan and only do tourism there, office culture is irrelevant for me. To be a girl is also out of the question.

Okay, so I think I understand what's going on. You're curious that your "boyfriend" (read: fuck-of-the-week) spends a lot of time every day going F5 F5 F5 on 4chan's /b/, which is the only part of the fucking site he probably goes to. So you decided "Hey, I think I'll post a thread here and see what these CRAZY HILARIOUS INTERNET PEOPLE have to say!" I bet you like going to sites like Fark and collegehumor and Ebaumsworld when you're not posting glitter comments in people's myspaces and listening to the streaming mp3s they have linked on their profiles.

Also, you are a ridiculous waste of a human being with nothing better to do with your time than to sit here and say "Hey guys I'm a girl teehee I giggle and I'm soft and I get to wear cute clothes when I go out on Friday nights! Hey you know what'd be fun I have a good idea I'll sit here and press F5 F5 F5 on a thread I made and watch people from the internet talk to me!"

You're just trying to validate your vapid existence by proving your gender to you, yourself.

Femininity doesn't travel over Ethernet and DOCSIS, honey. When you're standing there at the bus stop in the morning on the way to your $8/hr part-time job, and people start talking to you, they're not "being nice people" - they're trying to find an opening to get a chance to fuck you. And you're so wrapped up in yourself that you don't even realize it, you just think that people are talking to you because you look cute and it brings a smile to their morning to see a pretty young thing like you.

But nobody would have known you were a girl if you hadn't fucking posted this abortion of a post. Therefore any and all conversation you're having here is completely initiated by you, for the sole purpose of garnering internal merit for yourself.

Anyways, >>6049016 , please listen to me. That it's really related to this thread.
I went to Yoshinoya a while ago; you know, Yoshinoya?
Well anyways there was an insane number of people there, and I couldn't get in.
Then, I looked at the banner hanging from the ceiling, and it had "150 yen off" written on it.
Oh, the stupidity. Those idiots.
You, don't come to Yoshinoya just because it's 150 yen off, fool.
It's only 150 yen, 1-5-0 YEN for crying out loud.
There're even entire families here. Family of 4, all out for some Yoshinoya, huh? How fucking nice.
"Alright, daddy's gonna order the extra-large." God I can't bear to watch.
You people, I'll give you 150 yen if you get out of those seats.
Yosinoya should be a bloody place.
That tense atmosphere, where two guys on opposite sides of the U-shaped table can start a fight at any time, the stab-or-be-stabbed
mentality, that's what's great about this place.
Women and children should screw off and stay home.
Anyways, I was about to start eating, and then the bastard beside me goes "extra-large, with extra sauce."
Who in the world orders extra sauce nowadays, you moron?
I want to ask him, "do you REALLY want to eat it with extra sauce?"
I want to interrogate him. I want to interrogate him for roughly an hour.
Are you sure you don't just want to try saying "extra sauce"?
Coming from a Yoshinoya veteran such as myself, the latest trend among us vets is this, extra green onion.
That's right, extra green onion. This is the vet's way of eating.
Extra green onion means more green onion than sauce. But on the other hand the price is a tad higher. This is the key.
And then, it's delicious. This is unbeatable.
However, if you order this then there is danger that you'll be marked by the employees from next time on; it's a double-edged sword.
I can't recommend it to amateurs.
What this all really means, though, is that you, >>6049016 , should just stick with today's special.

Of course it does. The cost of living is high as fuck, they hate foreigners, and overall it's better to live where you were born. Only real benefit is that shipping doesn't rape your ass and you can get stuff not sold online.

Also, manga isn't really that much expensive in Japan, it's actually cheaper there than it is in America. I dunno about the anime there though, but anime is expensive anywhere really. Fucking pay like $30 for 3 episodes and no real extras? Fuck you.

I also feel dirty and AWESOME when these incidents occur.

3. Office culture in Japan is...HARDCORE. ITS GREAT AS YOU are expected to show up at social gatherings even if you do not want to. And at these social gatherings people have the EXACT SAME ORGY AGAIN AND AGAIN. I've had like 50 ORGIES WITH the power of beer to refresh you after a day's work. You have to say "good morning" every day in a very specific way, and if OTHERS don't then someone will approach THEM and tell THEM that's not how things are done at company XYZ.

I was in Japan for a month, and I didn't think it was that bad (apart from the heat).

Sure, there was usually an empty seat next to mine on the subway, but I wouldn't sit next to a nigger in my country either - I guess this is what it feels like?
I'm Caucasian, male, by the way. Not ridiculously ugly or weeaboo in appearance, and people would sit next to me once in a while, answer my questions, etc.
I was made fun of once at Comiket because of my Japanese, and I heard an old lady (probably the restaurant owner) refer to me as gaijin to one of the regular employees, but that's about as non-friendly as they got.

Nobody on /jp/ thinks this. Take it to /a/. If they're above this level then take it to Gaia. Nobody wants to live in Japan really, if they say they do they just feel that way because shipping of Japanese goods is extremely high. There's no benefit it living over there really, especially if you just sit home all day. You'll just be sitting home all day wasting money on the high living expenses of Japan, which balances out with the high shipping costs.
