I live in Norway, and I hate every fucking inch of it. Yes, the wages are high, the welfare system is functioning really well, and crime is low.

But it's boring as fuck here. Stores close at 18-00 on saturdays, everything is closed on sundays, weather is shit, food is shit, TV here is shit, we had one TV channel until 1992, and being one of the least densely populateed countries in the world you can imagine how many fun and exciting people there are here....

tl;dr - Norway is the world's largest suburb.

Pic related: Oslo downtown, you can practically count all the people you see outside our two biggest malls on one hand...

Signal to noise ratio is still the same as it is everywhere. If you live in somewhere densely populated, you'll be a slightly shorter long distance from anyone with a morsel of intelligence or identity which isn't a group identity. But you will be surrounded by far more faggots who are noisy and make your life a general hell.

Judging by what you count as being good, I suspect that you are a typical normalfag.

Thought about studying in Japan. But when I thought about it, I didn't really want to go live there. More like visit, visit some temples, see the country through a train's window. I can still do that in some point. Right next to my halfassed plans of taking a trip from coast to coast and see the USA as it is, not the media image. Or going through Europe, hoping from train to train and breathing in human history.

Every place has the potential of being godawful, so it depends on your viewpoint. Traveling can expand that point of view beyond the pictures and tourist attractions. The small things that you can find. And those snapshots of experience you can look back and enjoy.
And I just plain like the idea of trekking the world and collect life events. One of those dreams that just won't die.

Japan's a country like any other country, know what you need to know if you decide to move there but don't expect a techno nerd utopia. That won't exist until the population continues to fall, while immigrating foreign otaku-types continues to increase.
