Compared to the Philippines, I think everything in terms of cities is correct.
I think the countryside is less efficient than the cities of the Philippines. Also, it is unclear whether vacant houses are easy to get compared to other countries. I don't know if I can live safely in the countryside again.
I lived in the real countryside for 3 years, but the people are closed and narrow-minded, and there are few services
There is no unified view among the Japanese, but from my point of view, I think there is the most primitive, most fetishistic, and physical Japanese heaven between the big city and the real countryside.
Interesting. Thanks for sharing your perspective. From youtube videos, rural Japan seems to be an ideal place to retire.
It's a story that is limited to areas with ideal conditions. Maybe there is no such area in Japan🥹
I surmise that depends on what conditions are "ideal" for you.
Mine is quiet and clean.
Unfortunately, most Filipinos tend to be rowdy - case in point: right now, as I write this, some punk teenager is revving his motorcycle and triggering the alarm again and again - for no reason.
I understand revving to warm the engine up. But to trigger the alarm again and again, and beep beep beep for no reason?
It is stupid and probably intentionally done to annoy neighbors
I'm also in Japan
The area where I grew up is not a big city, but they used to run every night. Japan may not be your ideal home
It depends on the region
define: closed and narrow-minded. To a certain extent, old people's beliefs are there because they have at one point or another in their lives, been hurt. It is a survival mechanism that gets passed on especially in small communities.
