Most seem to treat it as a horrible experience that will never turn out good for you. They also seem to discourage coming to Japan for anything longer than one or two months

Thanks again!

MrCassavius February 7, 2012 at 1:00 pm: Very useful and interesting video, favorited!
Tenshouification February 7, 2012 at 1:15 pm: @DeepBlueSkyy No, if you live in Japan for over 10 years and have made a good impact on Japan you can renounce your citizenship. Then again I’ve heard that you cannot vote.
DeepBlueSkyy February 7, 2012 at 1:26 pm: @Tenshouification he is a foreigner because of that he won’t get one.
Tenshouification February 7, 2012 at 1:27 pm: Great information, Why don’t you apply for citizenship?
