I am not saying that at all, I am merely pointing out the practicalities of life in Japan as a resident (while establishing a career at a prominant Japanese broking house). In our youth we can all go to any asian fleshpot and goof off and imagine we were in some 'enlightened society' when in reality we were in an cheap money fuelled alcohol/ecstacy haze. (Teaching English in Japan are dime a dozen jobs anybody can get. I have even heard of Dutch, Brazilians and Philipinos teaching English)
