RacheruHaikyoInJapan, I feel the same as you, though I live in Scotland. Its a nice country & it has it's high points, but sometimes I feel the country (UK) has a vendetta against me. The general public & level of customer service, especially on the phone, is unbelievable. It just pushes my patience too far. lol. Rant over

Scotland is a really beautiful country.
Yes there are many frustrations especially trying to contact someone that speaks English-- so many are in India government doesn't make many things easy but thats life. I married a Scot- Edinburgh and lived there for several years. The scenery is breathtaking. I like the various scottish accents too-- even if I can't understand a word Ha HA.

what is wrong with England-- we are too popular because half the population from Europe want to come here-- and all the other immigrants. Think yourself lucky you live in this country. Its not till you live elsewhere that maybe you begin to appreciate how fortunate you are to live in UK. Devon is glorious. Maybe too many tourists but its beautiful.

I have to admit I wonder why so many wish to live in JAPAN.
what is the real attraction? Is it some sort of fantasy? Living a real life and working there? It can be so busy and so many people. Would reality fit the fantasy? I doubt it-- The Japanese seem to have to work extremely hard and long hours. Life is what you make it-- where ever you happen to live isn't that the truth?

dogsbody, I'm glad you liked Scotland, & the accent can be difficult to understand. The hardest to understand being Glaswegian. Scotland is good, and I do enjoy it. I'm also very patriotic. But Japan just seems to excite me more. Everytime a programme comes on TV about Japan, I watch it, whatever it is about. I don't know how to describe it, but the term 'Japanophile' seems to cover it well.

Ha ha I guess its a case of the grass beeing greener from HOME. surely you could plan to visit for a holiday-- why does Japan excite you? what is is that you think you will find when you get there. Is it the Anime and Manga? I am interested inJapan but have never been there although I hope to visit and see the countryside. My japanese friend is the person who has givenme an interest inthe country history and culture. I have seen quite a few programmes too-- but I cannot say they make me want to live there. Of course I am an OLD person so our tastes differ in a big way. It would be great if you can go there-- I should think staying with a family is the best way-- but I have no idea of what is available. family exchange system I wonder? You need to chat with people who live there or were brought up there. There are so many countries that you can visit as well. Re scotland-- as I was a sassenach many scots put on a stronger accent so that I could not understand them Ha ha. I used to do scottish and highland dancing-- still love it but too ancient now. I have bred scottish dogs for many years-- Cairn terriers and love so much about Scotland. some of the housing is not attractive and spoil the landscape-- but it really is a wonderful land. I love scottish traditional songs and music-- tradition is so precious. explore the world when you can and have fun.
