The End is Nigh

The 33-year-old son of esteemed oceanographer and anti-nuclear activist Tomoyasu Kawai stabbed his parents to death in their bedroom and then set himself on fire.

The following day, a 22-year-old boy in Chiba chased his parents down the street, stabbed them to death in the street and then killed himself. They had been quarreling.

The very same day, a 20-year-old kindergarten teacher in Kitakyushu was stabbed in the back on her way to work for no apparent reason.

A man in Okinawa who recently broke up with his girlfriend set fire to the bar where she worked, injuring her and five others.

A gov't bureaucrat was sent to jail for kicking his girlfriendfs 4-year-old daughter to death.

The next day, a 25-year-old woman was also imprisoned after her 3-year-old son died of malnutrition in February, having not been fed since late December.

Two days later, police questioned a woman and her boyfriend, both in their early twenties, on suspicion of abuse resulting in the death of the womanfs 19-month-old son.

i have a dilemma......

there are some things that i'd like to finish taking care of in america, however i just got an invitation (or command, rather) from my wife and in laws. they think it would be better if i moved to japan to live.
i have some financial responsibilities here in america, however moving to japan would be so sweet! only thing i really have to consider is being able to find some sort of career that would be able to pay the bills up there and keep my family in comfort. and me, not possessing a college degree, well let's just say that it won't be a walk in the park in finding a job that can give me the financial stability. my in laws said that i could stay with them at their place in ashiya until the day that i find something, however it may be a (long) while until i do. i'll just be a freeter until then. haha.

suggestions anyone?

If you think you could get a job in Japan which will pay you with only a little difference in your salary from your current job, then you might as well consider going to Japan. But if you think you will have a hard time getting a job that will pay you with the same amount (or at least almost close to that amount) that you get from your current job, then you should stay there. After all, it's for your family. Just my opinion :bonk:

And before I forget, Happy Father's day! :D

Thanks for the father's day wishes!

As for whatever research I've been able to dig up, there is actually a possiblity of me being able to make more in the "mother land" than I am, here in corporate America. The only thing is that it isn't that much more. And comparing it to what I'm currently making wouldn't constitute as being able to have a 'comfortable' life there in Japan.
Considering that (from a while back), I think that staying in America would be better for me.
I'm still open to new advice, and if someone has insight that I am not aware of, please share.

Thanks.

This is pretty darn cool... I'd love one..a great novelity gift. DAYEMS I wants one!!!!!

JR East has begun selling a Yamanote Line alarm clock that plays those melodies you hear at various stations. Each station has its own melody which gets hammered into the subconscious of commuters.

Here's some melodies from various train stations on the Yamanote Line.

i guess it depends on WHERE you may be living in JPN. if the "motherland" is going to be itoman, okinawa, I'd say the salary (and the jobs) may not comparable to where the wife's hometown of Osaka. You can always get a part time job of teaching english. Not in Aeon, and those hellholes, but your own business. I used to think about this all the time, and eventually, i will DEFINITLY move there in the far future.

It just also depends on what kinda job you want there...
