"Welcome to Babylon" - Japan: Part III

[Kyusaku]

Believe me Bueno, you're one of the last people I'd want to attack about this, but since the topic came up I wanted to say a little something.

 

[Bolt]

Shut up Kyusaku, I hate you, you ruin everything, you big dumb mean jerk ass face head. :170:

Bitch.

Thanks for standing up for me an' all, but please just stop.

Back on topic about Japan, I found a Kabuto/Boukenger face towel that someone forgot in McDonald's.

Too late. It's already in the wash.

Actually, I'm already meeting up with someone to celebrate. :sweat:

Sorry, I hate multi-quoting but I got back in this thread too late, so here goes

Though I may not know about your personal problems, be it in Japan or anywhere else, I'm sure that you've had your fair share of bullshit to put up with man, and if I've typed anything that has offended you in any way, I appologize. It's just the way I write, because that's the way I can express myself.

Thanks for understanding my position. I really didn't mean to say you're a bad person or anything ... the problem mostly lies with me, since for the past month I've been in a very tight squeeze which left me rather edgy and susceptible, especially when it comes to topics like these.
Reading things like
"Purpose of entry in Japan?"
"Working Holiday and Kamen Rider"
tics me off because I take my studying and work in Japan very (too?) seriously and even though I worked and studied as hard as I could, I still got booted out.

but just telling people about my travels to a place that was almost impossible to get to for an underdog like myself with no education and lots of luck. After all, I'm just human.

Sorry but I fail to see in what way you are an underdog. You're Canadian, right? That alone practically guarantees you a job in the EFLT department in Japan. Perhaps you don't have a degree but some English language schools try to circumvent that for the sole reason that English is your native language. My Belgian BA in English, French and Spanish doesn't even stand a chance against your Canadian nationality if we would vie for the same job. In 99% of the cases you would get the job and I would get the shaft.
I can believe you feel or felt like an underdog, but IMHO that really isn't the case. There are plenty of Americans, Canadians, French and what's not working in Japan, without a degree, as foreign language teachers simply because it's their native language. This bias works in your favor, hence I don't consider you to be an underdog.
I just wanted to put this into the right perspective.

Everyday I work here, I feel like I'm hangin' by a thread. I've been given so many chances and I keep on fuckin' up at my job. I'm going to be telling everyone about that in the next part.

But I can understand about trying so hard only to not have things go your way in the end. It's happened to me countless times in my life and I'm sick and tired of it. I'm sure that there's others here that feel the same way sometimes. Though it's only what I have to say, sometimes laughter is the best remedy. Things may not go your way sometimes but I feel you just gotta release. Life is too short to be spent moping. After all, doesn't time make all things good?:thumbs:

Sorry but I fail to see in what way you are an underdog.

I know that me being Canadian has it's advantages, but there's been times when I've been called "pathetic", "loser", or "a nobody". And when people knew about what I wanted to do, they'd say stuff like "dream on and get back to cleaning the toilets" and "you'll never get anywhere in life". Then there's my mom...and well...you know the rest...

Even though I have this job now, I couldn't have gotten here without the help of so many people. I still feel like I always need someone's help and that I might not ever be able to do things on my own, but then I think about WHY everyone's helped me and figure out that it's because they all believe in me. And I'd probably never be able to look at myself in the mirror if I let them down...
