/jp/ - Otaku Culture

Not even sure if this is the right place to post this, but I guess if anyone would care they would be here.
Or perhaps travel would be more suited? Oh well..

It isn't, no one here knows shit about Japan.

>>14308315
Thank you, OP.
I really needed that.

Knowing that there's someone else out there, unable to go to Japan, really fills me with joy.

You don't want to go there, it's shit

>>14308338
>>14308346
Well, I'm in Japan and it is great!

>>14308345
Oh, its not that I'm unable to go to Japan.
I'm sure I will go some other time but that they just left me here thats what bugs me.

I guess I could always disappear to Japan for a month without telling anyone.

It was just that I did not want to go alone to Japan..

>>14308349
>did not want to go alone

It's pretty nice to travel alone. You're not tied to other's bullshit and actually have to make an effort to speak with people.

>>14308315
Your stepmother sounds like a massive cunt making you the odd one out.

>Belgium
In Nederland kan je teminste met spoed een paspoort aanvragen.

>>14308349
Well good for you then!
I hope you go and never come back.

Although I'm not surprised they left such an arrogant twat like you behind. I would've done the same thing!

>>14308348
Fuck you too.

I live on my own, but I used to visit my father few times a week.

That is going to stop now and he's not going to hear from me anytime soon.
And if he, my sister or my stepmother calls me I will not answer the phone.

I really need to send a message that this is not ok!

They even had the guts to ask me to watch their dog while they were away.
Ofcourse I told them that the dog was not my problem..

>>14308372
Um, you must be 18 to post on 4chan!

>>14308366
In Belgium you can also request a urgent passport. It costs about 4 times as much as a regular application.

Not that it would have been a issue, but I only knew about it this sunday.
So if I would have went yesterday it would have still been too late since the plane left this morning at around 8AM.

>>14308372
You should just tell them straight how you feel about getting fucked over like that instead of going around it like that.

It will make you feel better and from than on the ball is in their court.

>>14308437
Oh, I already told them how I feel. But am I supposed to act like nothing happend when I see them again?
My stepmother even asked me to make a list of things that I wanted from Japan and that she was going to do her best.

>>14308454
This isn't /adv/.

i'd be depressed too if i lived in belgium

i did,'t read the rest of your post sorry

>>14308454
Honestly depends on how close you are with the rest of the family.

You can sit down and talk it out on why it was too much to ask to wait for you to get a passport and also why the rest of the family just went along with her instead sticking up for you and tell her to go alone and invoke her cancellation insurance for the other tickets.

The other option is to straight up tell them you wont forgive them any time soon, they can shove their souvenirs up their ass and you don't want to see them anymore for a long time.

Though option 1 is more likely to get you to guilt trip them into giving you a ticket in the future.

>>14308349
Just go by yourself them. You can go to places that you wouldn't dare to with your mom and sister and you are not chained to what they want to do.

Also >>14308370
Fuck you too!

>>14308348
That must mean the japs must actually like you. You don't happen to be aryan?

>>14308454
>But am I supposed to act like nothing happend when I see them again?

You can start by not acting like a whiny little bitch, for starters.

You have Nippon Syndrome. It's like Paris Syndrome, except you like japan.

>>14308348
you are in the honeymoon phase of culture shock. you think it's great because your social circles at the moment consist of locals who are aware of your cultural background and are friendly to foreigners, but they are not representative of the japanese population

>>14308625
Dude, this is the second time I visit Japan and the first time I was a low paid immigrant worker in a factory working 12 hours per day 6 days per week on shifting turns. And it was still pretty good.

>Idealized image of Paris [japan] – it is also speculated as manifesting from an individual's inability to reconcile a disparity between the Japanese popular image and the reality of Paris [japan].

everyone on /jp/

>Cultural difference – the large difference between not only the languages but the manner. The French can communicate on an informal level in comparison to the rigidly formal Japanese culture, which proves too great a difficulty for some Japanese visitors. It is thought that it is the rapid and frequent fluctuations in mood, tense and attitude, especially in the delivery of humour, which cause the most difficulty.

so japan is for people who are autistic and can't fluidly change in any given situation?

>Exhaustion – the over-booking of one's time and energy, whether on a business trip or on holiday, in attempting to cram too much into every moment of a stay in Paris, along with the effects of jet lag, all contribute to the psychological destabilization of some visitors.

What any of it have to do with me? Any of the negative issues people come often are also present in my home country.
>you will never be accepted as a local
People who complain about this is because they weren't minorities in their own country and are experiencing what it is to be a minority for their first time. I'm still regarded by my grandparents nationality in my country and my children will also be even if I mary a local. It will take more two generations of dilution for my ethnic traits get diluted enough for them to regard my grandkids as locals. At least the Japanese are polite.

I was fine in New Zealand (but had very little job opportunities since Chinese and Indians already filled most jobs an immigrant can do) and I'm even better in Japan (although imported foods are not as cheap and available as in NZ) I just feel like my life quality improves greatly when I go from my "developing" country to a developed one.
