[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I get what you are saying. We've talked about moving to Sweden or Germany but we worry about acclimating. It sounds great but the reality just seems lonely and hard. One reason these countries have all these desirably features is that they have very homogenous and insular cultures. That's why crime is so low -- high social cohesion. They tend to be suspicious and unwelcoming of outsiders. It's great for people who are born there but I don't think it's as easy to just adopt those countries as your own as you might hope. Do you have family there? How fluent are you?[/quote] OP has no connection to Japan whatsoever. She’s doesn’t speak the language. Probably took a single vacation where she embarrassed herself and alienated every local she encountered. Except she didn’t realize their external politeness even in the face of that is a function of the culture. It doesn’t mean she’s welcome. [/quote]
