 I really don't want Japan to also drift into hardcore nationalism. It's what I'm trying to escape from, goddamnit! =P

How come you thought Japan was a good destination for that? One of the most closed countries when it comes to being part of their culture.

I just like Japan and have nothing but good experiences. To be honest my first choice was USA. But that country turned fascist, so I gave up on it. =P

I still think Japan is less likely to turn full fascist than many european countries are right now. I also thought about New Zealand. But then I was kinda into the challenge of Japan because of the language and the totally different culture. After about 4 months of learning 日本語, I can say that I am making some real progress. I can understand easy conversations and read mangas with furigana. I memorized about 700 Kanji according to Anki. Which motivates me even more.

But in the end, yeah it may be a dumb idea. But I'll still try. I will get there for four weeks in advance to kind of test the waters though.
