Japan!

That's right, Japan. I've always wanted to visit there, and someday I want to live there. I just like the Japanese culture is cool, and it's something new......SO, anyways, I found a site that describes some of the areas in Japan. First one that caught my eye was Tohoko. Although this place is isolated and rural and you prolly won't get rich there, it's also fairly cheap to live there, if I could get a job. It also has some of the best-preserved culture and nature in the nation. "People who live in the Tohoku region will have the most chances to experience unique festivals, see life as it was many years ago, visit well-preserved towns and temples, and learn about traditional, rural culture." "The downside to living in a place with as few foreigners as Tohoku, is that one is much more likely to treated differently, or be the focus of unwanted attention. Many residents complain about "English bandits" (people who try to become your friend because they want to practice their English or be seen with a foreigner) trying to insinuate themselves into their lives." However, "The upside is that you will have lots of opportunities to interact with the local people and to practice your Japanese." This would be a great starting place to live so that I could learn more about Japan's culture and their language........Another place that I liked was Kobe, in the Kansai region. "There is a large foreign community, and the city is one of the most attractive, convenient places you will see in Japan. After the earthquake, the city was entirely rebuilt, and it is surrounded by beautiful mountains." The economy doesn't seem to be too bad there and the area looks great too.......The Chūburegiondoesn't sound too bad either, except for Nagoya. "This region is a wonderful place to live if you like a slow-paced life, nature, and traditional culture. The city of Kanazawa in Ishikawa prefecture, in particular, seems like it would be a wonderful place to live. It is a cultural paradise, with many interesting shrines, temples, museums, old buildings and well-preserved buildings, it is not too far from Osaka and Kyoto, and seems very liveable--large enough that it would not be too difficult to get a job, but small enough that you would not have to put up with the crowded trains and dirty air of Osaka or Tokyo."........As some of you know, I'm not a big fan of the cold, so Kyushu and Shikoku could be the places for me. "There arenft many foreigners in Kyushu and Shikoku, so they would be great places for people who want to learn the language or see everyday rural life. Kyushu gets hit by the worst typhoons in Japan and has more than its fair share of volcanoes and earthquakes but these are usually more like annoyances involving delayed trains or flooded roads than actual dangers."......I'm dead tired, so I'm gonna hit the hay. I was gonna put more, but my minds drawing a blank. I wish everyone a good day/night. Later. :3
