Don’t worry bloggers, you’re not banned from Japan (yet?). The title is just a little poke at what it feels like after trying to search for bloggers currently residing in Japan. Now to be fair I only started my search yesterday, so I’m aware of how it’s too early to be posting something like this without at least a couple days more of thorough Google-fu. My searches on Google so far have only given me abandoned sites with no farewell posts, which leave you wondering if life in Japan just wasn’t great and caused them to pack their bags and go back home. Or if life in Japan got so great they got too busy and decided there’s no more use for blogging. Some closure would be great, but for all the abandoned sites’ authors, I can only hope they’re doing well now.
I’m not residing in Japan currently, nor have I lived there in the past, but I’ve always dreamed about living there. Right at this moment you probably thought “what a weeaboo” or “life in Japan isn’t like the anime, weeb” and if you didn’t then good for you for not automatically assuming I’m a weeaboo! I’m a university student who’s going to be graduating very soon, and I want to live and work abroad at least for a year and experience life outside of my bubble. And Japan just so happens to be the country I picked. Maybe that’s not a great reason for you and it might seem foolish, but life goes by in the blink of an eye, so why not try things you wouldn’t be able to do so easily later in life.
That brings me to why I’m looking for bloggers in Japan – to see the unique experiences people in different parts of the country are having and to be prepared when I hopefully start a life there. Hopefully I’ll find someone.
