Why I'd Never Move To Japan Again By Silvia
For the past few minutes I’ve been sitting frozen with my fingers on my keyboard trying to think of a way to start a post where I’m basically going to say that I hated my time living in Japan. Whoops, spoiler, I guess now you guys don’t need to bother reading more (which might be a good thing, since this post is long).
Though before I start I also want to say that while my time living in Japan was difficult, I think it’s a wonderful country to visit! If you’re wondering where to start, you can read my one week Japan itinerary here.
My family moved to Japan for a year when I was six and I LOVED it. Considering the country’s obsession with all things cute – it’s a place where bank cards are covered in Moomin cartoons and grown women try to look like little girls – of course Japan would be a dream world for a six-year-old girl.
When I ended up moving to Japan again at 22, I quickly fell in love all over. Not only was I excited to live and work in Japan, I had received maybe the coolest placement on the JET Program: I was living on Tanegashima, a tiny island south of Kyushu, the southernmost of Japan’s main islands.
Tanegashima is home to the most beautiful beaches I have ever seen, and as most of the islanders have no interest in swimming, the only people I would ever see on them were the few surfers who had moved down to Tanegashima to chase what they told me were the best waves in the country.Tanegashima beach Kagoshima

experience in Thailand is/will be like. I follow a guy on Youtube (Camera Conspiracies) who moved to Thailand. It is very interesting seeing his life there.
