I don’t remember the name of the show, but I think there was a show that focused on people outside of Japan that make important things and get interviewed and are followed by cameras. The show was broadcasted on BS Japan (Broadcast Satelite from TV Tokyo).

Here in Spain we have tv shows like those. It’s called "Spaniards around the world" and it’s just Spanish people outside of Spain giving a tour of where they live and telling stories.

There are even regional versions of the show with people from a specific region of Spain.

I can’t watch those shows because I get jealous.

Living in western Europe, i don’t think we have a reason to get jealous of people living there. I agree it must be cool to spend one month there, but beyond that… ![:!:]( "Making a Point")

But most of the japanese people are friendly. Yes, they get the worst earthquakes and some typhoons every once in a while, but Japan is one of the greatest countries worldwide actually.

Agree with that. And here is the same thing: We work like hell (but the pay sucks gazelle balls) and my city had a 8.9 earthquake this april and we still waiting the tsunami. The thing that I envy the most, like VideogameDC said, is the people…I miss so much smart and friendly people here, and the culture. Our ancestors here are know for being a drunk culture ![:D]( "Very Happy") ![:D]( "Very Happy") ![:D]( "Very Happy")

And everywhere there are typhoons, earthquakes, volcanos having strong activity, etc. not only Japan. We suffered many earthquakes during April and May (Around ‘‘Holy week’’) where it struck many states in my country, let alone the insecurity we have to live with.

I really want to live in Japan! Who wants to go with me? ![:D]( "Very Happy")

Japanese people are very friendly generally since they have that whole system of respect, but it gets a bit much when it leads to having to appease others to the detriment of ones well-being. I really don’t envy some workplaces in Japan because of that aspect. I had a job where overtime for no extra pay was expected and it was just stress stress stress. I think Japan’s entertainment gets so wild and interesting because you gotta release that pent up tension & stress somewhere. I want to to visit someday but I think I would return to UK to live. ![:rofl:]( "Rolling Over the Floor Laughing")

I may of posted this before but this documentary "Japan: A Story of Love and Hate" is interesting:

It sounds better to visit Japan, but many people want to go and live there because of a handful of number of reasons, mine would be because of their people and japanese girls. ![:D]( "Very Happy") ![:inlove:]( "In Love") ![:inlove:]( "In Love")

Yes, all that "The company is your life. You don’t leave until the boss leaves!", they work a lot.

But they do something I find funny. That thing when the company instead of firing people assigns them meaningless jobs so they end up quitting because they are ashamed or something. If that happened here… "Oh hell, I get paid for just sitting on a desk and doing whatever I want? Sign me up!!" xD
