They tend to be obsessed with Tokyo not Japan. Rarely do I see anyone wanting to work in say, Osaka, or Kobe. Always Tokyo, always because of Akiharara.
I want to do a long vacation there, the length of a tourist visa, or maybe digital nomad through if I had a remote role, but I don't think I'd want to make Japan my forever home.
(Also they often are riding the politeness more reserved for someone on a vacation for months or years... they think they're being treated kindly when it's more a cold niceness. You won't be going over people's houses for meals or out to the bar. You'll go to work then go interact with fellow expats.)
- hn1337 4y agoUntrue, most of the weebs I ever met were obsessed with kansai-ben and were all about "Osaka" life. There are all kinds of weebs, and it's not limited to Tokyo.
- dontbenebby 4y agodeepest apologies senpai, i've moved on to being weirdly obsessed with the cultures of the EU since my early 20s weeaboo days, but even then i was more of the "listens to much Koi No Yokan while pounding espresso" style japan nerd (currently moved on to being the kind of weirdo who spends the 4th of july researching if there's a polish equivalent of "Gemütlichkeit" as I write out bullet points for an open mic and spend money I really shouldn't on a cortado... because my humor is cutting :-))
