The infantilization of Japanese society is one of the biggest cons for me about living in Japan.
This. So much. My company has freakin' bells for lunch and breaks, just like at school. Utterly ridiculous.

Still teaching English?

I was at NOVA back in 2007(?) when things went south. We were told that our salaries were late due to a "computer glitch". I handed in my resignation three days later and found a new job.

And who in Japan (besides the homeless) can live off a 100,000JYP per month pension?
