It's an unpleasant place. Very isolated in character and practical terms from even the closest neighbours. Suspicious and dismissive of anything other than their own very local way of thinking, even within the country. People are angri

I'm in the "kidney stone camp" and, honestly, have always drunk a lot of water -- I do everything else right, too and don't want to try otherwise, but no help at all, they're still coming. We're getting into in

Why is Japan like Japan ? Read about "uchi" and "soto", and how Japanese society was, is, and most likely will be for the foreseeable future, since the gates of Immigration are still closed -- other than for the revolvin

Think of this situation as a warning you should not ignore. Stop drinking.

I'd say humans themselves will definitely lead to human extinction. But probably not from climate change, we'll come up with something much faster.

Other than culture, which also plays a large part in this, many people in Japan live alone. And, as opposed to the West, that means living in a space optimized for one person. It is neither convenient nor pleasant to accommodate guest(s) ei

95 is a bit extreme, agreed. I've been perfectly comfortable in 400 feet places in Japan, layout permitting as you say, some buildings have really funny and strange structures. Some of the samples in the link from the company the NYT m

I get your point. ( Didn't downvote you by the way. ) Not sure where those small places you mention are. I always have trouble to find a small decent place for one in Europe ( other than an overpriced hotel room ) for temporary stays,

> Neighbours may be another thing, but it is independent from size of the house/apartment ... I don't think it is. The millions of Japanese living in 300 square feet spaces next to each other wall-to-wall would not be a possibl

I don't understand the love ( obsession ? ) in the West for "space" -- particularly in people living alone, and with the pervasive lack of housing, plus insane rent / mortgage / utilities costs. I wouldn't chan

I have had laptops from them. Bad quality control; misaligned screens, all chargers dead after a couple of weeks on all the machines I owned -- to be fair, they offered fixes and / or replacements for free, but I doubt it was random an

Got it, not happy with the currency at present, nothing to do with the place itself. Disregard my suggestion ! ( And thanks for clarifying. )

There are all kinds of visas in all kinds of non-EU countries, and all kinds of jobs. Yes, you do it by researching, finding if there is an employer looking for your profile, a digital nomad program, making friends and contacts during a tem

I don't understand why this explanation is given to me. I don't need to do any research, I have dual citizenship, plus an EU passport. I am unfortunately an expert in needing a way to get out of "your country" if things

Why would citizenship be required to move to a different country ? I've lived in half a dozen legally in three different continents without ever being a citizen in any of them.

Not exactly financial advice, but do you want to stay in Europe ? If not, that money would be perfect to start a new life elsewhere.

With all due respect, you immediately question that there is a problem. Why ? I take what OP says at face value, there's a problem, can any of us help. Who are you to judge what's loud for someone else ? Or cold, or hot, or anythi

I can't offer a solution, but I have over-the-head ear muffs made for construction sites, the strongest I could find and buy for moments where I can't take it anymore. They help somewhat. The only actual solution is to get away fr

Don't belittle a problem that you don't suffer, it is absolutely real, and yes, drives people to suicide. A similar problem is tinnitus -- not being able to stop noise is crippling and devastating. It's like belittling someon
