"eat some of the healthiest cuisine known to man, and hack away."
I love Japanese food, specially fish. But I don't know if the above statement is true after Fukusima. I try not eating fish in Japan now just in case, is a constant effort, because I like it so much.
"Tokyo is the world’s most livable city."
Most people I know in Tokyo does not live, they just work, and work. Lots of people there seeing their families(kids if they could afford to have them) on weekends. Extremely expensive place to live.
I prefer the German or Swiss model of work.
Japan is getting older and older, it is already a gerontocrazy, and very nationalistic. There are more opportunities for young foreigners in the future in Asia in places like Vietnam or Thailand.
Old people have something in common, they HATE change, and startups are change.
I would recommend living in Japan for lots of things, but never for startups. For me they are the antithesis of it(I worked there when I was younger).
- shostack 11y agoEven where you can eat the fish, much of Japanese cuisine is far from healthy. Fried this, insane sodium that, etc. not to say I don't absolutely love it, or that they don't have plenty of healthy food, but let's not kid ourselves.
