Then again, nothings ever promised. You might think you have the whole world on your shoulders here, but whats promised in Japan? To other countries, the U.S is considered a paradise. But to us, there's no "paradise" here.

You're going there with 4k in your pocket and i don't think that is enough. What if you don't find a job in time and all that money is used up on the cost of food and shelter? Then you'll be out on the streets crying to your parents back here for money or a one way ticket back.

To me, you have no clue on what you're doing but just a narrow view of what you want to do. Find a place to live first before you leave and find out what type of jobs are in the area. The saying goes, " you only live once, live it to the fullest." But what if you die of starvation or become a bum trying to live your life to the fullest LOL!. Better to be safe than sorry!

I feel the same way you do at times...but i thought about moving to Arizona, just not JDM/Anime land where i know i can't adapt to a whole new environment. Good luck!
