Well I want mastery in Russian due to family heritage as an obligation(girls are a secondary thought), and Japanese because I am honestly interested in the country. Conversational Chinese is fine by me honestly. The other two are more or less my focus. Personally I think I should PM you guys because I don't want to hijack another dude's game thread.
You're good. This is the Travel section. Just keep it vaguely Japan related, I guess.
The other guys are right. Japan is on a long, slow decline, but there are more than enough opportunities for someone with real skills. Japanese companies tend to treat their employees very well, too (though this is apparently changing).
However... I think it takes a special kind of person to be here for a long time. You have to really, really love Japanese culture or you have to be the kind of person who can let a lot of shit roll off their back. It's amazingly livable and great for game, but there's a lot of fucked up shit just beneath the surface.
