Your boss wanted to hang out w/ the workers outside of work?

It's bad enough you have to deal w/ him those many hours of the day.

LOOOL it's not just him, other employees wanted it too

Apparently he kept saying every year that they'll do a party and they never did

Brown nosers, more like

It hasn't worked out before?

Apparently not LOL I only started working here since August

I imagine you're looking at other places and are already willing to jump ship at first opportunity.

Oh absolutely

I'm even thinking about moving back to Japan if things still do not look good for me in the beginning of 2024

Back to good ol' Nipon.

Yeee good ol Nippon LOOOL

Do you know Japanese?

Yup! I'm intermediate level tho, so not yet business level

Damn, nice

Habla ze anime?

LMFAO!

I've often thought about teaching in Japan for a year or two. What's it like living there?

I just hesitate because the grass may not be quite as green as it seems over there. There's a good chance I'd be even more of an outcast over there than I already am.

Teaching in Japan is a great experience honestly! The pay isn't too good unless you're living in the suburbs or rural areas there

If you want to live in a city, then you have GOT to think like a native and not spend so much

Well, the experience is what I want. It would be a great resume builder.

But the kids are simply amazing to teach

I'd probably live in a rural area and just commute to the city if necessary.

I actually wanted to move from Kawasaki to Sapporo because I wanted to experience living there, but I couldn't

If anything, living rural places you closer to shrines, and there's few places on earth more beautiful than a shinto shrine
