job dey these Australia wey we hustle HARD like this to go??
Cousin9999: ^ People like this promote Japan because they're paid to do it. Why? - They're an agent. - They work for universities. - They're a scammer.
All of the individuals above are trying to sell you a dream, and hoping your ignorance and/or desperation is stronger than your common sense.
I know it's hard to judge what's true if you just don't have accurate information, experience, or know anyone you trust. I also recognize that the west heavily promotes Japan as a good place. But that's just not true. Even foreigners who go there under the best circumstances (foreign firm, high paying jobs) don't see it that way.
I did not see this statement earlier. are you sure , sir? Japan has basic health insurance for all its populace and foreign residents. That is you can go to hospital 5 times a week, if you are bored. The Japanese government pays 70 percent of the bill why you foot the remaining 30 percent. USA does not have this. Americans living in Japan are super grateful o japan for this
Japan has a marvelous train network connecting all areas and cities of the nation. it is safe , you can work 2 am at night without worry. Thats why you see beautiful pictures of japan on the internet mostly uploaded by the same foreigners
kishimi8: Bro side question , PLS, at 32yrs is it possible to get a MSC in Japan?
it is very possible. Yes Japanese students will be shocked becasue they finish school early ;averagely at 23years with masters. But you can get admission , age is not an issue.
[quote author=Cousin9999 post=108871335][/quote]lol. Thanks for the attachment. To the matter at hand. I think Japan seems to be a fair choice. Wouldn't you agree?
tensazangetsu20: Better go to Japan. You gain citizenship and permanent residency after 5 years. Singapore nothing for you. God forbid you come back to the zoo after your studies.
Okay now no be scam again. it is na wether i be chinko? I don laff tire. Mehn naija, once person no gree with you , the person automatically becomes scammer. Weldon.

Please point out anything i have said that seems like a scam. I am no agent , neither i have claimed to be one, nor tried to provide any services here. I also do not work for any university in Japan. Japanese universities do not use recruitment agent. All admission process to Japanese universities is paper work based. You print all the required admissions forms , fill and send by post. So what is the false hope i have offered?
Cousin9999: 1. Neither is affordable. 2. Neither offers an especially competitive international education. 3. Both will gladly accept you to any uni and take your money while telling you the education is competitive. 4. Singapore is racist. There's no jobs there for you unless you're already working for a foreign firm that sends you there. Even if there were, you would be treated terribly. Japan is also racist. The only jobs available to you are English teaching and factory work. In both jobs, you likely won't be paid (or paid barely anything), will be abused, and will be in unsafe conditions. Japan also has no laws against racism. And any labor laws in Asia mean nothing. Ask any well-educated Asian in a real profession how much those labor laws mean, and watch them laugh. Asia is not Europe. It just looks the part. Don't be fooled.
Focus on west Europe and North America.
Thanks but i do not agree with your assertions, and as such i will speak for Japan. 1. Japan is relatively affordable. tuition in National universities is 600,000 yen annually. and masters programs are 2 years research program. 2. Japan offers competitive international education. do not take my word for it, simply google and check the QS world university rankings. 3. All schools in the world will take your money. The issue is what would you learn. Masters programs in Japan are research based not course work. 4. everyone is racist. English and factory work becomes the only job option available to you if you refuse to even learn basic japanese. in the IT field in which i suppose robotics belongs to , you don't need to be fluent to get jobs in that field. Infact with a college degree and experience , it is far more easier for you to get a job in IT field and in Factory. I know some many foreigners working for micro pressor and semi conductor companies in Saitama and Hiroshima, with basic japanese language ability. if also in doubt check LinkedIn Japanese job page.
In summary, would it be tough, hell YES, Would it be worth it, SUPER HELL YES. Would you look back and say i am glad i chose Japan to study... HELL YES with all the struggles japan will throw at you.
RealTrump: it is true that China actually obtained their train technology from japan when they are just starting out. My Prof. alluded to this.
But While the Japanese trains are still fantastic, China is now the number 1 country with the biggest/longest tracks of high-speed train networks. This record however might be due to the fact that China is a much bigger country.
But I don't think the Japanese hold any material advantage over the Chinese. Both countries followed a path that suited their population and agenda.
The Almighty America doesn't have a single track of high speed rail line. How about that for a comparison?
igbesachick: it is almost 100 km/hour . from HK to beijing, it cost 24 hours to cover 2300km.
if the bullet trains run among the satellite cities around the metropolis , they will be slow at less than 200km , for they have to stop feequently.
but the smooth feeling is wonderful, especisally during a rainy night and the glittering city lights flashing past like a dream.
the slow trains are more for the romantic students and those farmer-turn-worker-turn-enterpreneurs in the cities who still miss their younster time squeezing for a standing place in a crowded slow train.
Jeez!!!! Stop spewing garbage. Trains travel at different speeds depending on the infrastructure (track, and rolling stock , signaling etc) 1. Commuter trains travel less than 80km/h 2. Metro trains travel between 80 and120km/h 2. High speed line traveling above 200km/h.
Did you notice the shape of the rolling stock?? That’s for the speed at which the rolling stock will be traveling. The Shinkansen doe 250km/h on a ballast less track.fucking expensive
The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and Citi Foundation will host Youth Co:Lab, a program supporting youth-led social innovation and entrepreneurship, in Japan again this year!
We’re calling for innovative business ideas with an aim to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as part of the Social Innovation Challenge Japan 2021.
Lostchild: For some time now I have been following up with Japanese culture through NHK. With what I saw and what I keep seeing, Japanese are just too mellow and unselfish. Japanese are selfless people. Every one cares about everyone well being, they care so much about everything. I could not detect greed in the life of Japanese people. This is the kind of society I desire to leave in, unlike Nigeria where everyone is so greedy and want more than they can shew.
I was astonished about Japan because I was born in a country whose people are so greedy. I have marvel for years why a people are so greedy and hungry for more.
It is not about our hungry and poverty, Nigerians are just too greedy for my liking. Every one in Nigeria want to be rich and want to drive cars. I saw in Japan everyone seem to cares about everyone and not about materialism.
Japanese people do not crave for wealth but seem content. Many things in Japan are made by hands, and everyone is humble and wants to do what they love. A craft man or a clay potter is proud of his work and wants his son to continue his legacy.
I saw that, Japanese people don't do things for money, they do things they love. No matter the humble and lowly work they do, they seem very happy to pass their humble skill to their next generation. In Nigeria people will look down on you base on what you do for a living.
I can speak Japanese even though I don't understand the language or know what I am saying.
Dammnnn: I fancy Japanese woman too and will like to do one.
Well Japanese women marry for financial security. A Japanese lady will marry you after making sure you can take care of all the financial responsibilities required by a family. Hers is to be housewife and wear lacoste and eat at expensive cafes.
Japanese people crave wealth a lot just like us. Wait till you visit Japan.
Japanese people do things for money as well, they have bills to pay.
Wait till you walk on Ginza street or Shinjuku street. Nigeria craze for sudden wealth is problematic. But in japan you can find something to do to earn money for your cravings
amjf: Japan, with a population of roughly 126.8 million as of 2017, is an island nation in the Pacific Ocean with high-rise-filled cities, imperial palaces, mountainous national parks and thousands of shrines and temples and home to some of the best technologies in the world.
Tokyo, the crowded capital, is known for its neon skyscrapers and pop culture. In contrast, Kyoto offers Buddhist temples, Shinto shrines, gardens, and cherry blossoms. Sushi, the national dish, is served everywhere from casual pubs to gourmet restaurants.
Here are some interesting facts about Japan:
1. Japan has over 6,800 islands
You might know that Japan is an island nation, but did you know that there are more than 6800 islands in Japan? The four biggest islands are Honshu, Hokkaido, Kyushu, and Shikoku, which together makes up about 97% of the total land area.
And don’t forget about the paradise islands of Okinawa with its beautiful beaches and tropical climate.
2. Japan has the most vending machines in the world
To every person, there are approximately 23 vending machines. You can buy ANYTHING in a vending machine including, cars, lettuce, underwear, hot ramen and even an egg. You will find them everywhere I swear! Vending machines are a huge part of Japanese culture and to me, that is extremely useful! You never have to talk to another person again, bliss for an introvert like me! lol
3. Japan has the third highest life expectancy in the world
Japanese have the highest life expectancy in the world due to their diet and lifestyle. They are very healthy people and exercise regularly. On average men will live until their 81 years old and women 87 years old. This is causing a crisis in Japan because there’s a lack of childbirth also. Now there are more seniors than children and this is causing a problem for the Japanese economy. Apparently, Japan sells more adult diapers than children’s – how fascinating and problematic at the same time!
4. Has one of the world’s lowest crime rates
Japan is one of the safest countries in the world, so if you worry about crime, you should probably look into moving here. The most common crimes here includes stealing a bicycle or umbrellas left outside the convenience store.
At the metro and trains, you can see locals who take a nap while having their phone in their hand or clearly visible.
It’s also not uncommon to see people walking around with their backpacks and bags open. Another thing, people don’t even lock their homes all the time or their bicycles! That’s how safe it is in Japan.
5. Best Animes
Animated Japanese films and television shows (i.e.: Anime) account for 60% of the world’s animation-based entertainment. So successful is animation in Japan, that there are almost 130 voice-acting schools in the country.
6. Don’t wear your shoes inside
Raised floors help indicate when to take off slippers or shoes. At the entrance to a home in Japan, the floor will usually be raised about 6 inches (15.24 cm) indicating you should take off your shoes and put on slippers. If the house has a tatami mat room, its floor may be raised 1-2 inches (2.54-5.08 cm.) indicating you should take off your slippers.
7. You’re allowed to take naps on the job
Japanese people are working more than any other country in the world and the working days are long. Since a couple of years back, some employers are letting their employees take a power nap at work, to recharge and get more energy. It’s pretty interesting, and overall I would say that power naps are very common in Japan, and you will constantly see people taking power naps on trains.
8. Fruit is the best gift you can give
If you don’t know what to get your host, then gift them fruit they really do appreciate it.
9. They take cleaning seriously
Cleaning is taught in school and is a serious part of Japanese culture. Students and children clean their own school! I have to say on my travels to Japan I thought it was one of the top 3 cleanest countries I have been to. There are even neighborhood (volunteer but mostly compulsory) clean-ups. People are always expected to keep their private houses and their workplace clean!

People lock their homes except for in very rural communities. There is hentai crime. Phone scam crime called ore ore. High suicide on trains ; people jumping on the trains.sadly, grown kids killing their aged 90 years old parent as it’s too expensive and no help to change their diapers etc And recently stabbings in the trains. Generally it is safe , you can walk 2 am for night.

3. Japan is fucking expensive. It costs 20million yen on average to train a child from birth to university. It’s cost 40 million yen for 3 bedroom house. Yet it has the lowest salary in the developed world
error4040: At OP tho Asia is far Safer in crime related issues compared to other Regions I refuse to believe No.4 to the Case of japan. My reasons are because they mostly deal with Organized crime or you mean you Haven't heard of Japanese Mafia or the Yakuza
Yakuza is a thing of the past. The Japanese government dealt with them and basically wiped them off. You can’t even open a bank account or eat at restaurants or get a job as a restaurant. And Yakuza stay clear, don’t bother foreigners

No. 8 is definitely not true. You will be fired. Japan has some firms that are known to be frugal and break labor laws ; they are generally regarded as black companies.
8. Also not generally correct. Fruits are ridiculously expensive in japan. The cheapest fruit is banana. The rest are heavily overpriced . Water melon sells for 12,000 naira, mango for church 1500 naira. There are also gifts called omiyage; snacks or Osake; Japanese wine
