Posted November 21, 2024Nov 21 Owner I personally haven’t I would like to go before I leave this world. Might do it as a bucket list thing when I am older.
February 19Feb 19 I have never been to Japan, although I did have an opportunity when I was 19, recently joined the Air Force, but chose to "stay close to my (so called) family and friends here in the States. I didn't discover anime until 2002, well after I had ended my Tour of Duty (1999), but I'm sure if I had been exposed to anime before my entrance into the USAF, I most certainly would have jumped on it.I do regret not exploring the world while I had the opportunity to do so.Today, I'm too poor, broke, and broken to really travel, and as I've grown older, I've lost that itch to travel really anywhere. The highlight of my day is returning to my comfortable home--apartment, cooking dinner, and goofing off on the Internet.I experience Japan through social media, internet buddies, and of course anime and the food. When I was in college I took three semesters of Japanese Language, however, because that was in like 2004, I've forgotten most of the vocabulary I learned. You know what they say, if you don't use it, you lose it!
August 19Aug 19 Sadly I haven't but it is my life dream not only to visit but also live there. That's why I am learning language and doing all I can to get certificates for English language so that I can teach in Eikaiwa schools.

Yesterday at 10:41 PM1 day Author Owner From what I hear it's a long process I mean it's like moving any other country you have to have a job there and live there for few years and take a citizenship test
11 hours ago11 hr I mean, not the citizenship, that is far away. But the process itself to become a teacher. I know it takes up to 2 months for papers to be reviewed. School has to agree of course for you to work etc. You can do online interviews if you lack money to go there and do it in person. However, I am unsure what skills she need to actually work there.
