What's it like actually living in Japan as a foreigner?

lol no

Basically it's the same shit as back home in the USA once you can read signage and realize everything is just an ad and needs to be explained 731 times because yes, most people here are legit NPC mode. Once you get in a routine most people stop caring, I've only had my neighbor (well guy below my place) yell at me once because he was drunk and I came home in cosplay.
The good:
can pass out on the street leave my phone at the bar for 5 minutes without urban youth issues
trains are GOAT
you can basically find ANYTHING without going to temu
food is pretty good i guess
most people stick to themselves
the USD to yen is good
The bad:
gyms are lackluster along with getting things like workout supplements and balanced diet no the veggie juice doesn't count
quality of apartments here is kinda dicey, proper heating and cooling is a real issue for man
if your a large frame clothing can be an issue
mannerisms annoy you after a while
pay is low unless you are a contractor or well skilled

Dunno moving to hawaii so w/e been fun in Japan

I just had a really fucked up idea. Japan's going through a bear problem right now. And Japan's Red District full of scammers right? Send the bears over to the red district and have the 2 problems fight against each other and hopefully they both take each other out.

I thought it was really hard. I temporarily went over in 2018 for 8 months to help onboard a new department for the multinational I used to work at.
The reason it's hard is less the language barrier and more the cultural barrier. I had an okay foreigner level of Japanese comprehension, like good enough to succeed at my corporate task while I was there.
But I really wasn't prepared for the culture shock at all. I should clarify I'm an American, and so Japanese culture is pretty much the opposite of American culture, which is perfectly fine, but it's difficult to adapt to if you're not prepared.
And I think if you're more of a typical weeb then you should really be prepared for the proverbial freight train to hit you after you recover from your jet lag and a few weeks pass. It's like a delayed collision.
