I’m considering spending 1 to 2 months living in Japan, maybe learn the language and meet new people. I’m 28 years old and have saved a couple hundred thousand dollars. Over the past five years, I’ve spent most of my time at home, and I now feel emotionally numb and increasingly aware of my fading youth and time being wasted, I haven't done much yet with my life, most days go by without me doing literally anything besides being on youtube or 4chan.

My plan is to live there while attempting to learn the language and earn money remotely from my computer, I don't really have any recurring money stream, the money I've made has always been from sporadic stuff so I'll need to figure out how to make money while there.

I want to feel again, I'm sure you guys know how it's like, I'm finding it hard to get enjoyment plus basic work has become very difficult, I try to fight the laziness or lack of motivation or whatever but it's very overpowering and it doesn't let me think straight, perhaps the change of scenery and new experiences will help with that. Given my dads side has major depression I want to experience more of life before that potentially takes hold which I think is happening.

Does anyone have experience with escorts in Japan also? What's that like over there? Here it's legal and I've gone dozens of different independent whores but I'm honestly growing tired of them here, are Japanese escorts good?

I was first thinking visiting cheaper places like Vietnam or Thailand, but even though it's more expensive, I feel Japan has more interesting things and the language should have more perks in learning it.

Why?
Enjoy your time.
Get a nice airbnb.

There are ones who specify to westerners, so they actually know some basic or even good English.
Same goes for soaplands, pink clubs etc.
Outside of the big three cities, my guess would be that's nearly.impossible to find.

>>33267306
I could essentially go on a 2 month holiday there, but I also want to see if the change in lifestyle helps me work.

>>33267331
Seems like a bad idea to bring work with you, but you do you.

>>33267288 (OP)
>attempt to learn the language
Hahahahahaha
If you don’t learn the language you’re FUCKED. It’s not like other countries where you everyone speaks some English. Basic interactions become difficult if you don’t speak the language. Also, once you dig past the surface it’s not as idyllic as you think it is. It’s extremely isolating. No matter how introverted you think you are, you NEED to talk to someone or you’ll go crazy. Even locals have trouble making friends.
You can, however, get a visa if you apply to a language school if you want to stay longer than 90 days. The adventure of exploring new places is fun. Find out what you want to see ahead of time and plan those trips in advance.

>>33267288 (OP)
lol
if you don't feel anything in your place you won't feel anything over there either
this sounds so retarded

>>33267320
do you have tips if you're experienced?
how do I find out if they accept foreigners, do I wonder the red light districts and check for signs like "foreigners welcome" or ask "gaikokujin desu ka?" at the door?

>>33267370
I'll feel anxiety at least no? Never been there.

>>33267364
>Also, once you dig past the surface it’s not as idyllic as you think it is. It’s extremely isolating.
I see a lot of tubers say that also, I'm not under any illusions that it's like an anime irl at all.

>>33267371
>how do I find out if they accept foreigners
Usually on the websites of the escort agencies.
If you'd google for less than a minute, you would have found out about Tokyo Night Style. They do reviews of foreigner-friendly escorts and places.

>ask "gaikokujin desu ka?" at the door?
Then you'd ask that person if they are a foreigner... lol

This mostly sounds good, but one word of caution specifically for travelling Japan: it can be an incredibly lonely place. Be sure to have at least 2 or 3 friends in your circle that you can talk to and spend time with.

>>33267288 (OP)
>I want to feel again
>my plan is to buy hookers and live in a sleeping pod while I work in an isolation chamber at my computer

there are several things not great with this plan if indeed the end goal is to feel alive again.

>>33267924
the hookers will be just a 1 or 2 times, regarding accommodation I haven't decided yet between really cheap hotel room or airbnb

>>33268696
The fact that they're even part of your travel itinerary at all is counter-productive to your mission statement of wanting to feel alive

You mentioned up top "interesting things" about Japan, what are those?

cause as it is it sounds like you're just gonna work from home and stay home only going out for hookers - which you can do back in the USA or whatever you're from

>>33268706
>You mentioned up top "interesting things" about Japan, what are those?
I think places like Vietnam or Thailand are good for the nature, Japan looks packed with all kinds of businesses look at pic >>33267288 (OP)
I'm thinking of enrolling in a Japanese language school, I'll get out to do that plus that will help me meet people.

>>33268744
Sure but that's just Tokyo and to a lesser degree Osaka and other major cities.
Go anywhere else on the main island and it's all semi abandoned or fully abandoned villages nestled around forests where you legit have to wear a bear bell or whatever other noisemaker to warn wild bears that are like a 5 minute walk from the highway/main road

There's also islands that are far from the main island there's no bridge to them you have to take a ferry to a community of a few thousand or ever just a few hundred people

all of Hokkaido and nothern Japan is great too if you're really into snow and the winter lifestyle

and then all the way down South with Okinawa it's again a completely different vibe from Tokyo and the main island.

You're not into anything specific about japanese traditional culture or their modern media like anime or whatever? I like Sumo.

>>33268744
ok if you go to language school, then your mornings will be just hanging with Indians and Chinese people

not very conducive to making many friends.
then your afternoons you have to work?

I would honestly suggest looking into just working part time at an Izakaya
also, no way you can learn enough in 1-2 months to have any meaningful connections with any people

if I were you I would spend every night hanging out at a bar and order 1-2 non alcoholic drinks and just talk to anyone perhaps in the Shinjuku or Shibuya area if you're in tokyo

if you just want to come just to do something different then being in your country, dont come to Japan
japanese people and culture in general here will not be kind if you dont know what you're getting yourself into

>>33268706
How is planning to Eat Drink & Fuck counter productive to feeling alive?

>>33270759
OP never said anything about Japanese food or even drinking, all he said was that he had banged a dozen.. nope dozens of legal whores in his country and was now curious about how to go about doing it in Japan as well

i.e.more of the same

I shouldn't have to argue that buying hookers out of habit isn't going to spark any new joie de vivre even if it's in a different country. like somehow the 73rd whore he buys is gonna be different from all the past 72

>>33270743
>ok if you go to language school, then your mornings will be just hanging with Indians and Chinese people
that's a good point, it won't help me meet the Nipponese, I've heard there's language exchange parties from yt though, that should have some Nips
>>33270728
I'll go to Tokyo, I want to be where there's more stuff happening and I like big cities.
I like some anime and gundams, sushi is ok, traditional culture like Kimonos or the architecture doesn't interest me much I find it boring.
>>33270897
I'll try out a whore or 2 over there see how it goes, I've been considering for a long time injecting testosterone like I'm always on the verge of starting it, that should boost my libido but I don't want to complicate my life over there at least for the first few months

Where are you from, OP? I've just applied for my working holiday visa. I made >>>/trv/2793284 a few days ago - pretty much same boat as you.

>>33267364
>If you don’t learn the language you’re FUCKED
Blame him for trying I guess

>>33272457
>Where are you from, OP?

It will be a novelty but you're unlikely to magically become happier in a foreign place long term
