I was curious the different expat communities around the world. What are your guys experiences with them?It can be any nationality in any country. For me, an American, I'm thinking of visiting places here in the States that have certain expat communities of countries I want to visit (Japan, China, South Korea, Taiwan).
I used ChatGPT to find the biggest expat communities of various Asian groups in the states.>Japanese>Los Angeles (Little Tokyo)>Chinese>NYC (Flushing neighborhood)>Korean>Los Angeles (Koreatown)>Taiwanese >Los Angeles (San Gabriel)
I also looked into other expat communities in other countries.Chinese expats in Japan>Takadanobaba in Tokyo>Okubo in Tokyo>Ikebukuro in Tokyo>Yokohama Chinatown>Nankin-machi in KobeJapanese expats in China>Gubei, Hongqiao, Changning in Shanghai>Chaoyang District in Beijing
Korean expats in Japan>Ōkubo / Shin-Okubo in Shinjuku Ward (Tokyo)>Tsuruhashi in Ikuno Ward (Osaka)>Higashi Kujo & Utoro (Uji) in KyotoJapanese expats in South Korea>Ichon-dong (Yongsan District) in Seoul>Itaewon, Hannam-dong, Gangnam & Seocho, and Hongdae / Mapo in Seoul>Haeundae and Suyeong in Busan
Chinese expats in South Korea>Daerim-dong (Yeongdeungpo District), Guro District, and Geumcheon District in Seoul>Incheon Chinatown (Jung District)>Dong District in BusanKorean expats in China>Wangjing (Chaoyang District) in Beijing>Wudaokou (Haidian District) in Beijing>Gubei Koreatown in Shanghai>Qingdao in Shandong>Korean Street in Guangzhou>Yanbian Korean Autonomous Prefecture>Changbai Korean Autonomous County>Xita in Shenyang
Japanese expats in Taiwan>Zhongshan District, Xinyi District, and Daan District in Taipei>Tianmu in New Taipei City
I had a very negative experience with Indian expats in Ontario.
Japanese expats in Hong Kong>Taikoo Shing >Quarry Bay, Sai Wan Ho, North Point>Hung Hom and parts of Kowloon City District>Tin Hau & Fortress Hill>Tai Kok Tsui & Olympic>Discovery Bay (Lantau Island)Korean expats in Hong Kong>Tsim Sha Tsui>Sai Wan>Discovery Bay
Worst thing in the worldIt's basically like going across the world but defeating the purpose 9f it because you're surrounded by a bunch of non locals who don't know the languages or anything about the places and just complain about it and cause problems. You could have just stayed home then. Yeah travel all over to hang out with drunk foreigners isn't traveling is it
>>2848803kek
>>2848432There are hardly any Japanese Americans in Little Tokyo now. It's now a theme park run by Korean and Chinese Americans.
Japanese expats in Vietnam:>Ho Chi Minh City (District 1 - Japan Town, around Le Thanh Ton, Ngo Van Nam, Thai Van Lung, Thi Sach, and Hai Ba Trung streets; Binh Thanh District>Hanoi (Ba Đình District, particularly Kim Ma, Linh Lang, and Dao Tan streets)Korean expats in Vietnam:>Ho Chi Minh City (District 7, Phú Mỹ Hưng; Tan Binh)>Hanoi (Trung Hòa – Nhân Chính (Thanh Xuân District); My Dinh & Keangnam area (Northwest Hanoi))
>>2849015>Worst thing in the worldi suspect there are probably worse things>It's basically like going across the world but defeating the purpose 9f it because you're surrounded by a bunch of non locals who don't know the languages or anything about the places and just complain about it and cause problems. expat groups largely exist to help non locals navigate the mundane frustrations of everyday life like dealing with bureaucracy and stuff. the rest is just shit you made up.>You could have just stayed home then. Yeah travel all over to hang out with drunk foreigners isn't traveling is iti bet you tried to hang out with some expats somewhere and got rejected because you're a tourist and you've been bitter about it ever since
>>2849015Stfu anthropologist dork. You want to go native and spend your weekends with third worlders? I've been an expat for many years, in many countries. I want to hang out with people with the same interests as me, the same sense of humor, people that don't want to practice their fucking English on me. You obviously haven't lived abroad, you're sitting in America imagining what it would be like and what you would do.
OP trying to miscegenate while I'm living in Japan wondering where the fuck white people my age that aren't just tourists actually are. Almost as bad as a passport bro.
>>2848432>>2848431expats generally are going back home. japs and koreans in LA around ktown and japtown are 3, 4 or 5 generations settled and are Los Angeleans of Asian descent. maybe i could see Flushing count as expat in a way but most of them are going to die in the USA so are immigrants.
>>2849776>>2849781>this schizo was allowed into your country
>>2849798>I'm living in Japan wondering where the fuck white people my age that aren't just tourists actually aredunno about anyone else but when i was working in japan this is some of what i was doingworking out how to get the japs on my team to talk to the imported pajeets on my teamworking out how to get the pajeets to stop being so utterly fucking incompetent and also to stop having such a bad fucking us vs them attitude with the japshanging round in hmv buying cds by jap bandsspending the whole day at weekends just flat out on my bed catching up with sleeptrying to find anything to eat that didn't contain any fucking seaweedeating ice cream
>>2849798The Japan expat community is honestly some of the most dogshit fucking foreigner communities in the world. I don't know why Tokyo gets praised so much as an international city, 99% of people who move there are retards and autists. There is a very tiny bubble of genuinely nice and smart people but usually they end up leaving Japan quickly.t. lived in Asia for almost 10 years now, still have nightmares about the people in Tokyo specifically
According to ChatGPT, the largest Appalachian expat communities are found in Toronto, Ontario, London, UK, and New South Wales, Australia.
>>2849798>>2850052because the good white expats gatekeep their circles extremely heavily and behind members-only bars/restos/social clubsit is literally a liability to be hanging out with retarded autistic white guys in this country since they always expect longer-standing expats to help them out of whatever awful situations they get into either socially or legallyand the type of weeb who moves to japan just because they kinda wanna live there are always crashing out and getting into bad situations with women, the law, scammers, pissed off japs, and basically just living shitty lives until they lock in, learn the language, and get a real fucking job. most get filtered in the first 2-3y similar thing with chinese expats only they gatekeep by opening businesses and nepo-hiring other chinese that aren't FOB weeb retards. koreans just assimilate or join gangs. so there are good expats in tokyo/japan but they're never gonna invite a tourist or JETard into their circles.
>>2849781Unlike you, I'm not a herd animal and never have been, so I'd rather be the token white oddball in a brown native crowd who barely speaks English, because that's my natural role. Been like this ever since I walked across the border into Mexico back in 2016 and realized being the only gringo in sight felt pretty good. A hundred curious looks directed my way on a daily basis.
>>2850052There's a possibility that you're part of the problem.
>>2851294All makes sense. Too many normies and leftoids here.I'm definitely not a JETard, nor even a weeb (I like stuff that originated in japan but that's not why I like it.) Not really into jap women either. I'm on a working holiday but that's only because the visa is easy to get as a starting point. I freelance B2B to stay afloat. Plan to do 2 WHVs then possibly 1 on student visa to finish learning the language to then hopefully get a "real" job.I was in Roppongi the other night. Are they all older folk? I'm 27.
>>2851327ngl i wouldn't really recommend moving here, unless you can scale the B2B service you provide well and self-sponsor a business manager visa(which now costs 30M JPY paid-up capital and requires hiring a local) being on a work visa sucks and immigration is starting to pick on white and asian people, while letting jeets and SEAmonkeys shit the place up - all because the right-wing government thinks white people and chinese doing "nepotism" stuff is bad(but jeets invading en-masse is totally ok because china hates jeets) so it's basically gonna become this cycle where jeets shit the place up and "foreigners" get blamed and they "crack down on us" and make it hard for us to self-sponsor while doing nothing to curve the actual problems(chinese nepo-hiring and jeet invasion)
>>2851340>unless you can scale the B2B service you provideIdk man, I spent $5k USD on an online business course where supposedly you start a remote business in 90 days. Pick a niche, find their problem and all that. Obviously it took a lot longer than advertised and I ended up going into revenue operations so I'm just gonna maxx upskill on that and see if I can find something.>business manager visaThis is why I did it in the first place, cause I don't have a degree (for good reason). I would've been willing to work towards it but the MBA / required experience killed it for me.>immigration is starting to pick on white and asian people, while letting jeets and SEAmonkeys shit the place upFuck. That's exactly what I feared. Oh well. I hope I can at least have some fun for the next 3 years before going somewhere else. Ultimately I just wanna find an expat gf since that's how I grew up.
>>2851313There certainly is, but I have never had issues in several other major Asian cities and I found most of their expat communities to be much more pleasant than Tokyo's.
>>2851516go to hokkaido and lock in on aussie ski thot girls. trust.
>>2851522I'm going to Sapporo in Feb for the snow festival. I'm way too late to do any ski jobs (not that I really wanted to anyway) - do I just stay in Niseko for that then?
>>2851522>>2851523it's over
>>2851537lol. Guess I'll just go hang around Hirafu and if I meet people then I'll try rent equipment. No big deal if it's too hard though.
>>2851537it's always been that crowded at open and real ones go backcountry there anyway. still technically early in a season that goes well into february/march. stop being a nigger and believing "overtourism" narratives on xitter. >>2851523>>2851523just go there to ski if you're actually into skiing, if you wanna goon just go talk to girls at bars, there's only like two good ones in sapporo and another three or so in niseko. so ez mode.
>>2851675>if you're actually into skiingI did Val Thorens this January, that place was my first ski trip and while I liked skiing itself the place is a tourist trap. I don't wanna do it on my own. Goon first, ski if necessary.>there's only like two good ones in sapporo and another three or so in nisekonames?
>>2851680>namessapporo has rad brothers, utage(club) - both good with foreign crowds, and booty which is good if you wanna affiliate with japanese wiggers, and the sort of foid they bring around - semi-international crowd but very degenerateniseko has gyu and powder room and plenty of apres-ski parties you need to go skiing/boarding to get invited to and a good deal of outlaw raves that again you need to be tapped in to get invited to.
oh also acid room is my favorite club in sapporo but it won't be everyone's cup of tea. name basically gives away why. avoid if you don't like psytrance or that "scene"
