Is living in Japan hard? I've been reading a tourist book about it, and it's not as blatantly expensive people say so long as you avoid things. And you don't even need to know the language except for some basic words as most Japs know english (though they can't talk in it)

>Most Japs[sic] know English
This is 100% untrue. The Japanese as a people know next to no english, even though they teach it in school. I studied Japanese by way of the Pimsleur lessons, although the first time I came to Japan I had only learned to read the two alphabets (Hiragana, traditionally created for women to write, since it was softer and more simple; Katakana, used for strange words (sound effects, in my experience), and to express foreign words.) and I had listened to the first 15 of the Pimsleur lessons, enough to get an extremely basic working knowledge of directions and necessities (Bathroom, Hospital, Left, Right, etc)

As a culture, there's a divide; They're sort of like ants, in a way, always working for the good of the society as a whole (unlike western culture, which is usually more individualistic).

Even big cities in Japan are ridiculously safe. One-on-one theft or violence in Japan is very rare, probably because of what I said before. I've heard stories of Yakuza (Japanese Mafia) members being extremely polite to normal people, and honor within the gang is of the utmost importance.

The food, (since this is /ck/, after all) is interesting as well. There are the stable of traditional restaurants, (Ramen is known world-wide, I think; Lesser known, but EXTREMELY delicious: Okonomiyaki, Shabu-Shabu, Katsudon, Tonkatsu-Curry; Japan loves curry, and although they can't handle spicy things, the restaurants here also have extremely spicy dishes for foreigners and adventurous Japanese). Sushi is cheap and plentiful; Always sit at the bar, no matter where you go, (even in sushi shops in western countries), since it lets you actually see how the sushi is made, and the sushi-chef really appreciates it. Back to languages again for a sec, most people here appreciate you making an effort to speak; I only know broken conversational Japanese, but I've received a lot of hospitality, and people are tolerant of me taking out my phone to look up words.

They know plenty of English, if you're talking about basic vocab. They can't express any feelings or make coherent sentences, but if you say a word they'll figure it out 9/10. I guess it depends on what you're looking for.

clarified and justified some of my thoughts, really thankful for it

>> No.4607885

>>4607883
Not in my experience. Japanese are very particular about pronunciation, (I pronounced "basil" like we say it in America, they didn't understand at all until I started out throwing out other pronunciations and landed on how the brits say it). This might be politeness as well, as they don't want to embarrass you. Occasionally I'll meet someone at a convenience store who lived in America for a while, which is great, but most of the time this is not the case.

>> No.4607887

>>4607885
Well, pronouncing it all katakana-like is mandatory, of course. I guess I have a bit of a skewed view as well because I knew a good bit of Japanese before ever going over there, and I lived there for a good while.

>> No.4607894

>>4607887
As much as I'd like to give them credit for this, I can't. Their hospitality is great, though, so absolutely nothing against them. I've had people mime things to me to get me to understand, or discuss amongst themselves to try and come up with the correct word in English, and at one small shop the older woman running the place actually came over and helped me suggest something I would like, based on me guessing at ingredients.

All that being said, the majority of them still have no clue when it comes to english, words or otherwise. Again, in my experience. Where were you staying? I'm in Minami-senju, north-east a couple stops on the Hibiya line from Ueno.

Used to work at taco cabana. My boss was a psychopath, and I decided to quit. I had asked her several times to PLEASE let me throw this stuff out, but she said no. On my last day, she wasn't there, and I said to the on site manager, who was cool, "look bro, I'm throwing this shit out. It's disgusting. If [my boss] gets pissed, just say I did it without telling you. It's not like she can fire me for it."

That's going too far. I think blemished or odd product is perfectly fine most of the time, and yes, you should just cut off the bad part and go forth (I can't stand the food waste when it comes to demanding "perfection"), but jeez.

Place an anonymous call to your local health department that is in charge of food handlers permits, inspections, etc. Tell them and then they'll come out and do a random health inspection. Include the pictures so they know you're not just a disgruntled employee with no reasonable basis for saying that shit.

I don't have a picture but the worst thing I ever ate was an omelette with a side of "breakfast potatoes" and grits at some restaurant in New Orleans.

The omelette was completely undercooked and it was ice cold, the potatoes were stained orange cause they were so greasy and were soaking wet with grease and you can guess what it tasted like.
The grits had the consistency of 3 day old rice when they're supposed to be creamy.

I didn't pay for it, I told the manager it was disgusting and he let me leave.
