why i wouldn't live in japan again [pszWLrYdwSk]

Daniel evaluated his longstanding goal of residing in Japan, begun around age 17 or 18 and realized through a continuous two-year stay from 2018, determining after nine months away that he likely does not wish to return.

Several factors diminished Japan's appeal for Daniel, including distaste for local Western food adaptations, the strain of working at a convenience store with language difficulties while experiencing self-described social anxiety, lack of dating success, and the belief that the country became oversaturated with foreign residents.

Daniel found English teaching unappealing and degrading, which hindered obtaining long-term visas before 2018 because he lacked a university degree.

While Daniel initially enjoyed feeling noticed and unique as a foreigner following his first trip in 2010, he grew frustrated with subsequent globalization, travel vlogging, and modern translation tools, viewing them as diminishing the exclusivity and personal value of learning Japanese.

Daniel has ruled out Japan and is currently seeking a different country to establish as his base of operations.
