    This is one regret I have in my life. I should have migrated when i had the chance (twice!) before but the thought of going out of my comfort zone and starting a job from scratch scared me. Country for migration

    My friend suffers horrific racism in Japan. Her daughter is always insulted as a half-breed in her school.

    To the point the daughter had to move back to the Philippines to study.

    Agree.

    Visiting as a tourist I think okay lang pero if you will settle na talaga dun? Language, reading and writing (eto daw madugo) is a must. They will not adjust for you.

    BTT

    Almost all na kilala ko na nag migrate is Australia / Canada bound.

    Interesting. What makes you say Japan is a good place to migrate to?

    How do you plan to deal with the language barrier and the general aversiveness to "gaijin"?

    Saan sa Canada bro? Been to BC and Alberta medyo boring din. On the plus side, kahit saan halos lumingon mukhang postcard.

    Just hangout with a friend in tokyo who's been there for 3 years. Married to a Japanese. According to him, grabe daw racism sa kanya ng ibang tao. Masarap maging tourist lang daw. Even names ng kids nya kelangan tunog japanese

    AU. Stayed there for a couple of months. People are courteous unlike here. Plus, if you feel homesick, 7 hours lang ang byahe. Medyo mahal nga lang ang cost of living.

    The language itself is hard to master. You should be able to memorize at least 3,000 kanjis (chinese characters) just to be considered as literate. There are also different "levels" of the language depending on whether you are talking to a child/pet, your peers, your boss, the head of the company, the PM, and the emperor.

    Even natives have to sometimes guess the meaning of kanji characters based on context. Some can't even transact business because they do not know business Japanese.

    Correct me if I'm wrong but AFAIK it's impossible to gain citizen status. Marrying a native doesn't automatically make you a Japanese citizen.
