Not really, but I got nervous in the bookstore and supermarket. Some people get fussy about being filmed, but I wasn't sure if they'd notice that my cellphone was actually recording.

How is it that all Japanese neighborhoods look the same? I mean it's obviously different if you're going through areas with mansions or if you're going along a big road in Tokyo, but all of the areas with individual houses like >>9549679 look the same to me.

I want to walk around and see a bunch of cool shit but I can't take it easy and enjoy myself when it's so hot because the only thing going through my mind is "fuck, it's hot...this is bullshit....where can I get something to drink?"

The heat didn't stop me from doing it though. I fought nature, man. I was like "Fuck you, you think you can stop me from doing what I want?"

At one point my sweat actually solidified as it evaporated leaving bits of salt on the back of my shirt. But I won.

There's one down the street from my apartment.

Speaking of Japanese convenience stores, they're really damn convenient.
Things you may not know:
- You can pay your bills
- You can have your online orders sent to them to pick up, rather than your own home. (no dealing with "wasn't home, will deliver later" slips)
- You can pay for your online orders there (no need for credit cards)
- You can register for exams from them
All of these are done free of charge

Quit your whining about the heat. Those little fans they give out are heavenly, and Osaka has been consistently ten degrees (Fahrenheit) cooler than my city in Missouri for the past several weeks. I would have given a lot to be back in Japan this summer.

Besides, if you want to walk around see cool shit while ignoring the heat, just stay underground. The underground around Umeda is air-conditioned unless my memory is really poor, and several of the large shopping buildings have entrances in the underground (in addition to the underground just having its own stores). You can go shopping all day without ever seeing the sun.

Damn, I didn't know about any of those things. All I knew about convenience stores were that there's one every twenty feet and that if you don't know where you need to go to buy something, you can buy it at a convenience store.

Like, I guess it might make sense in some ways, but I wouldn't have guessed that a convenience store would be a place where you could buy laundry detergent. I was trying to think of a place like Walmart that might have an aisle dedicated to it, but wasn't coming up with anything. Surprised the hell out of me when it turns out convenience stores, despite their small size, sell just about everything you need.

I've been all over North America (Canada and Mexico included), and certain areas of Europe, including England, France, Germany, Switzerland, and Italy.

While the real beauty of the European countries lies in its rustic rural areas, it's fascinating seeing the sharp contrast between the majority of the muddy suburban areas a lot of the countries there have.
The US is the same, with its expansive suburban areas, that are mostly very small and not very well kept. It's brand stores and super shopping centers litter the entirety of the country, while the necessity of an automobile to get from place to place seems to be detrimental to the overall aesthetic. Canada (Toronto, and the Michigan/Canada border specificall) is relatively the same, but the population is relatively sparse. For some reason, it reminded me of England... with its subtle but distanced population.

Both continents have a certain amount of splendor in its cities, and it varies from city to city, as does the rest of the world.

But there's one thing Japan that I will always admire. The compartmentalization of its country is absolutely magnificent. This lack of space has created a very polite, and society-conscious attitude amongst its populace, which you will be hard-pressed to find elsewhere.
I believe the lack of space, while interesting in its own form, created some of Japan's greatest fortes: efficiency and tranquility.

I hope to be able to visit there again someday, and maybe, if time allows, to live there.

>>9551714
I've been to many idealistic upper-middle-class suburbs in the US. The neatly-kept lawns, gardens, and shrubs along with the wooden backdrop, give off this aura of "traditional" America. Especially in the summer, where the fluffy clouds and the clear blue sky are very beautiful to see.
The real shame is that these types of suburbs probably account for maybe 1/10th or less of the total suburban space, whereas the other 9/10ths is either old-looking or cheap.
And don't get me started on the rich neighborhoods, where you feel more avarice, envy, and total arrogance than warmth. Sure, they look nice, but they're totally pretentious.

But it's very different from what you see here, where almost anywhere in suburban Japan, you can find that same warm feeling of compaction and tranquility.

In my opinion, I prefer Japan's tranquility, only because it's smaller to wander and cleaner to look at, due to its small size.

Varying shades of "they look like any other street", "I agree, narrow streets are cozy", "In America, the roads are bigger", "when will they give up on calling each other weeaboos", and "Google is creepy".

Actually, pretty much everyone on 4chan with even a vague interest in Japanese things has been using that phrase for quite a while now. It may have originated on /a/, sure, but it's been all over the place for years; I make no apologies and recommend that you grow a thicker skin.

[Anonymous No.]

>>9552147
It's never been an accepted phrase on /jp/, just because feels and faces when are excepted all across 4chan it does not make them welcome here. You are welcome to use the phrase as much as you like for certain but do not be surprised or complain when people call you out on it.

Well, since English isn't my native language I doubt if I could do that. The job itself doesn't sound interesting whatsoever, I think most people just use it as an opportunity to live in Japan for a year for free and make some money.

[Anonymous No.]

>>9553928
Mostly. I worked for an after school program where students studied in half hour blocks to do workbooks, talk and listen. Some children were so young that they didn't even have a grasp on the Japanese language. It's mostly an upper middle class thing that people just do. The company charged $75 per session, and I made $2500 a month salary with a 26 hour work week.

It does not matter at all what the degree is in, even a musics degree counts. All you are doing is trying to pass the requirement the government requires, to land any job they mainly care about looks. Sad, but truthful.

>>9553944
Sounds tempting. I've been learning Japanese by myself for quite some time and I think it's on a functional level, and while my English isn't perfect I think it's more than functional. After looking at the requirements, the only thing that's stopping me is a Bachelor's degree which I don't have (19 years old). I don't mind working outside of Tokyo but I don't know if I could lie about having a degree. Not a question of honesty, more like not wanting to live in constant fear that someone might discover that and send me back home.

[Anonymous No.]

I climbed up a radio antenna tower to take this picture, so it's a little blurry. I don't like heights.

The view from the front door of my apartment.

I've always found narrow streets somewhat claustrophobic.
Strangely I don't feel the same way in small rooms.
Pic related is one of the laneways near here, I don't think narrow Western streets have quite the same feel as [>>9550632] for example, but perhaps that's just weeabooism.

>>9554046
Just my own local ones. The picture >>9553944 is from my own little hiking spot that I found after a while. The view was sobering and I spent many hours just sitting up there.

Back in the USA. Not happy with my current situation, so once I find a legal loop out I'll be back to being a happy hobo again.

>>9554063
Went on a tourists visa, found work on craigslist, then had my boss apply for my workers visa. Not the most likely of circumstances, but I made it work. I will say that living in Tokyo sucked super ass. The amount I paid for a half closet in Tokyo bought me a 2LDK in Yokkaichi including a parking spot.

Do you know anything about how easy or hard it would be for someone to get a job in Japan for 1-2 years working in a lab at Tokyo University? It might be kinda interesting to head over there for a change of scenery once I finish my PhD and do a postdoc somewhere in the USA.

[Anonymous No.]

>>9554115
No idea. I do know that universities there don't function like they do in the US. They have no government grants to pay students to do research. This is to my best understanding from a native student, so I could very well be wrong.

[Anonymous No.]

I found a picture of the "apartment" that I rented for one month at the rate of $400 in Asakusa, Tokyo. It was literally a closet that I couldn't even stand up in since some French guy lived on top of me. Tokyo is a poo hole unless you're rich, which I most certainly was not.
