Agreed. I think everyone who's lived here has probably read or heard of the micro aggression article. It's not meaning to be malicious, but hearing at least once a week, 'When are you going back to your country (to visit/return permanently)' just wears me down most days.

When people tell me on tumblr how jealous they are of me living in Japan...I love the country, but I'd go back to America in a heartbeat if I didn't have so much going on here. The USA has its problems, but every day is a chore in Japan.

Yeaaahhh my own experience living there has lead me to generally advise people to not try to live there long term to permanently. I usually tell people to visit but leave after six months is up.

It's not like you won't make friends or have relationship prospects or a good career or a bunch of other things, it's that you have to deal with all the little things and you have to deal with them on a constant basis.

I'm not saying I regret my decision to work there (I was able to save up a bunch of money and it was a very eye-opening experience) but I don't think you could pay me to go back to live/work there unless it was only for a 3-4 month alternating period like many foreign professionals opt for these days.

'When are you going back to your country (to visit/return permanently)'

To be fair you get that as a foreigner in every country. Also when you visit other countries and people learn that you don't live in the same country where you were born. The further you are from your country of origin, the more you hear it. It's a pain in the ass.
