Swimming.

lol, yeah, typo.
I don't know how to edit posts, so whatever.

I'll be nice and give it to your straight.

>He's lived in Florida, Germany, Iceland, and Ohio

All those places. the common resident knows a good amount of English. This isn't the case in Japan. You'll have near zero chance of getting a job and finding a place to live.

I am asking both trv and jp, because they're both on topic. Don't be assholes and sage a thread about Japan on a Japanese section of 4chan.

>Getting the fuck out of Florida
Stopped reading here.

What the fuck? I've been to Florida only once in my lifetime, since I'm not an American, but I fucking loved it. If I somehow will manage to finish my college and get degree, I'll do my best to move there. While we're at this topic, is the living cost really that expensive there as some people say?

>>6386801
We're all embittered weeaboos, so go try /trv/. Our board is not really about Japan.

I still laugh at how 4chan doesn't understand what sage means.

If only I knew moon so I wouldn't have to spend time on a board that imports foreign concepts and then DOES IT WRONG all the time.

Using sage as a way to "insult" someone's post or thread is just completely wrong and a retarded misuse of a good feature that is so popular in sites like 2ch and Futaba. Fuck, iichan and 4-ch do it right. It's just 4chan and 4chan's lame knockoffs that fail at using sage.

The true meaning of sage means that YOUR POST isn't worthy enough to bump the thread. It's ironic, because you think that you're insulting others while you're just, in fact, insulting yourself. Yes, sage can be used when posting a derogatory comment in a thread that you don't want to bump, but posting with just the word "sage" accomplishes nothing but contribute to spamming the board. The trend of replying with the name of a tripfag and sage is even worse, as it accomplishes nothing and only serves to increase the e-penis of whoever you're "attacking".

The sage feature was never meant to serve as an implied insult or general disagreement! Why people started using it that way is beyond me. There are plenty of reasons why one would choose not to bump a thread with his reply. For example, bumping threads with stupid one liner replies should be discouraged and those people should be coerced into using sage instead.

I want to use sage, yet I almost never do it on 4chan because people will jump on me thinking I'm insulting their post or something.

Rule 13: Sage - In general, sage doesn't have a negative connotation in /jp/. It doesn't mean "I HATE YOUR POST," it's just a command that lets you post without bumping. Sagebombing is also fucking retarded, a single bump can ruin your entire sagebomb and if you reach the bump limit the OP can just recreate the thread. If you don't like a thread, just hide it using 4chan's Firefox Extension.

The Saotomes did it.

>thread about Japan
Who cares?

Welcome, new user to /jp/ - Japan/General! Hah, just kidding, this isn't Japan/General. This is Touhou/Visual Novels/Doujin Games.

If you want to discuss the different places you can visit in Japan, I suggest you go to /trv/ (though they also seem to hate Japan there, so don't annoy them too much). If you want to discuss the Japanese language, go to /lang/ (yes, 4chan has text boards!). If you want to discuss anime and manga, go to /a/ (some series that are based on light novels/VNs/games like Marimite and Higurashi can also be discussed in /jp/, it really depends, so lurk a bit to see what's acceptable). Finally, if you want to talk about Japanese history and culture, go somewhere else, nobody here knows or cares for that stuff.

/jp/ was created as a board to get rid of Touhou and visual novels from /a/, it was never intended to be a board about Japanese culture. Most of the users here don't care about Japan, we only care about lolis and doujin games.

>>6386804
I'm learning basic Japanese right now. I'm not a lazy person when it comes to things I really want.
>>6386812
Yes it's all nice, but all my friends are either gone or are drastically changing. There's nothing for me here. It would be nice to move to South beach and work at this hotel with my friend, but if that does't happen then I need to leave.

>>6386819
Those "rules" were written by newfriends. /jp/ loves Japan and Japan related things, always has. Fuck you.

>>6386858

fuck off, we don't want you here

>this is the Japanese board

No it's not.

>>6386862
Reaction images are used only by newfriends. Fuck you.

Fuck off weeaboo.

>>6386858
Not even I shitpost that much. At least make an effort when trolling.

>>6386872

Oh you are so cool and edgy cuz u don't use reaction images, you are a god among gods.

>>6386848
You want a job teaching English over there? Because that's all you're getting without lots of contacts or like a master's degree or something. Even if you're not planning on working, I'm not sure how Japan feels about Americans just coming over to take it easy for a while re: a visa.

My would get about $70 in Germany just from playing his guitar.
I'm not very pessimistic and I'm used to living a fucking bare bones life style. Hell, I've slept on the floor of downtown Miami before.
So if I can't get a job then I'll put out a tip jar and play some guitar.

My god, this thread fucking retarded. And it's not even necessarily just the OP.

>>6386819
Is this the first day you seen that? No oldfag would go through the fucking trouble of posting that. You must either be that retard from earlier today who made that thread about '/jp/ rules' or you first seen it from them.

Either way you're just some attentionwhore faggot trying to act like you've been here for a long time when you haven't.

>He doesn't remember when /jp/ used to talk about Japanese politics and news articles
Nice reaction image though, I hear those are really popular on /v/ now.

Anyone gonna help me out?

>>6386950
Sorry to break this to you but Japan and Germany are two entirely different countries. Living cost in Japan is expensive as fuck , your money from playing guitar ( yeah, I'm assuming that people would even bother to waste their precious time to pay attention to you playing guitar) won't even bring you enough money to survive.

>>6386956

Japanese shit has never been accepted on /jp/, stop pretending.

>Nice reaction image though, I hear those are really popular on /v/ now.

They are popular in all boards of this website since forever and they are an essential part of 4chan's sub-culture, go back to 2chan you weeabo faggot.

>>6386975
But playing guitar extremely well + being a blue eyed, blond, handsome American will.

Whatever kid. You will never rule here.

butte statue = ranged

>>6386989

Your 2chan culture will never rule in this place either, you fucking weeabo.

I know that 2chan has a very strict use of sage and noko and nobody uses reaction images but guess what you are on 4chan, not on 2chan, you homo.

Learn Japanese and get the fuck out of here.

Oh and having interest in Japanese politics is GAY.

>>6387001
>>6387008
lol so EZ 2 own u

OP, Japan is not for you. You barely know the language, you don't have any embarrassing weeaboo interests that would make it worthwhile and you really don't know what you're getting yourself into. Being a white guy in Japan is only beneficial if you have money or you're Tommy Lee Jones, and it doesn't sound like either of those apply to you.

If you want to see pretty sights, they've got that stuff all over the world. Try someplace in Europe, somewhere you won't stick out too bad.

>>6386982
Oh seriously. By defending reaction images you're negating all your right to speak for /jp/.

It sure feels like the entire meta-flames lately have been solely newfriends versus newfriends trying to push some contrived guidelines on everyone. Seriously, stop this, you're not helping either youself or the board. Want to fit in that much? Then be civil, don't act retarded and stay on-topic. It's really that simple. And, no, currently you're failing to do that.

>Try someplace in Europe, somewhere you won't stick out too bad.

Eurofag here.
We don´t want infantil americans to raid our historic sides. It´s fucking annoying if you can spot the average american tourist from a mile away because:
a) they´re loud as fuck and insulting everything non-american
b) they´re freaking out if someone says that america isn´t the most awesome country in history of epicness
c) some´s telling them to stop waving their shitflag everywhere

>>6387045
>a) they´re loud as fuck and insulting everything non-american
I literally laughed out loud at this post. The irony of a European saying this.

Please be a troll.
