    I lived in Japan for 3 years when I was in the military. It was the first time I felt free in my own skin. I actually experienced culture shock when I moved back to America. I loved it there and miss it so much.

    I have lived in China for 2 years, been to Japan, spent last year in South Korea and I personally love to hang in Philippines/ Thailand or South East Asia.
    You really ought to have a PLAN before you consider moving to Asia.
    #1 If you have a monthly pension coming to you - YOU ARE ALL SET. You can live comfortably in South East Asia on less than $1000 a month. Especially in countries like Vietnam and Cambodia where cost of living is DIRT CHEAP. $500 a month gets you a luxury condo with all the amenities.
    You can even buy some houses for less than $50,000 - even though you can't own the land unless it's in your Asian wife's (of that country's) name.
    #2 Some company's want to hire expats to train their customer service in other countries. That's a good job that can let you live in Asia.
    #3 If you have a large amount of money, like $1,000,000 or more, you can live in Asia for the rest of your natural life.
    I personally can't wait to get back to my condo in Philippines. I only return to America to manage my properties as landlord. Being here is depressing and unhealthy for me.

    When I first came across your channel I thought....Let me guess... "Everyone is an English teacher. Everyone is rich. Everyone has a significant other. Everyone has family they can mooch off of. They probably know people there. They aren't black americans, probably just Africans. Everyone is thin. Everyone is "fair skinned". None of the women wear their hair natural. All of them are whitewashed."
    These were all the preconceived ideas and stereotypes I held onto when in came to black people living abroad. My way of deflecting my own fears.
    It's been a while since I subscribed and your channel has opened my mind and expanded my horizons. Rich and poor. light and dark. Single people and single parents. From new york and from nigeria. English teachers and entrepreneurs. Your channel proves to me it's possible. Even for someone like me.

    So many good points shared here in this video, especially the sense that going back home as a Black person isn't a comforting thought- despite missing family or friends. Hearing about his interaction with the cops in Japan is totally different from what would have happened if he were in the states. On a side note, I found him to be an interesting, talented, and well-rounded individual. I find that these days horticulture is a thing people are getting into, including myself.

You can work on your next plan, with internet, and a shower and food. By far, japan is in the top 5 of safest places on the planet. There's always a way if you're open to the possibilities. 😉

    The more I dive into this channel and do my own research, the more I see different parts of Asia as a potential home.

Now I'm thankful I happened upon this channel. Gives me a little hope for the future.

    I would really like it if some of the interview question can focus on the visa process, finding a place to live, And wages. From the information I have read on the immigration site for Japan it’s a hard to get a work permit and the buildings/ places require a sponsor before they would rent apartments or homes to foreigners is that true? It has never been brought up in your interviews and I think it’s a valid question to ask if finding a place to live is difficult or not compared to America

    • @MajorG25
      @MajorG25 4 года назад +2

      It depends - For a standard apartment, you need proof of income (which implies that you've got a working visa). However, there are guesthouses (many are foreigner-owned) where a person essentially rents a room. For those, as long as you're paying rent, you can stay as long as you like.

      Ädriel-Bobby-Moses no offense to the black woman , but they seen so many black woman walk around with fake hair , nails etc even on social media so they think people of color light skin , brown skin and or dark skin all wear fake hair and whatever else not knowing us brothers hair is natural. Yeah it’s some brothers who get other people’s dreads dreads match us but straight hair ain’t for us . My opinion about that last part
      I’m also AWBM interracial relationship my ladies pinay mixed with other things .
