    Dan, during all these years you have complained about everything and everyone so it doesn't matter where you are, even in Japan, you will complain about even the smallest thing you can complain about.
    Life is still a big shit even in the best country in the world (which doesn't exist) but you have to be more intelligent in your choices and what you are going to do because otherwise you will always be in shit and this is all because of women who only destroyed your life because of your choices.

      @@HidingInMyRoom1989 Not all part of it is interesting. I remember the first time I worked, there was a guy 4 years younger than me, he was so competent that I was ashamed, he already had his master degree while I was in 2nd year. I refused to lose to someone younger than me so I dedicated the 1 hour I spent in public transportation to study almost every day, even if it was boring.
      It hurted my ego to be someone's second, my pride was on the line, so this same pride was what gave me strength to undergo this torture even if I hated it. After 2 years I can say with confidence that I surpassed him in the software development part, but he's still more competent than me in network management.
      Not for long..
      One thing that motivates me as well is that I pretend to be much more competent than I am, so it incites me to work hard. I like to talk as if I am already a specialist who knows his stuff, it makes me believe it's possible.

    2. realize jobs require hard work and are often mundane. Be shite at even entry level jobs.
    3. no qualifications, no degree, no higher education. have no desire to change that.
    4. quit everything the second it becomes too difficult
    5. Fetishize Japanese women. Coerce one into marrying so you can get a visa. (Spoiler: having a Japanese fetish and a marriage born out of coercion will lead to an unhealthy relationship)

    Daniel, the grass is always greener on the other side. You already have family ties in Malaysia. Why not relocate there and fly to Japan as frequently as you can (shorter flight)? OR if you really want to live in Japan, get your Bachelor's degree. Isn't university in the UK paid for by the government? What is stopping you?i just don't think you should be putting Japan on a pedestal with all their recent 1940s war crime history. Modern Japan has completely rebranded itself but you can't be dismissive of the past either. Can you imagine someone going on and on about how trendy and cool Germany is? I couldn't do it given their war crime history as well. There are so many amazing places to see in the world. Don't limit yourself to just one country...
