Interesting question
nagoya often gets overlooked.
Ive lived in Tokyo for over 30 years. Every time I go to Nagoya on business I have a great time and it is cheaper. It certainly has its merits.

in most other countries they won’t live that long and that’s not an exaggeration.

I remember when I first moved to Japan back in the late 80s, Japan was too expensive for most tourists. I preferred it that way.

My advice to him: pull a Trump. Delay, delay, delay, switch lawyers, delay some more, say the dog ate your paperwork. No need to serve any time. Trump has already made a complete mockery of the US justice system.

Very tragic. There has to be some govt assistance here. So sorry to hear about your situation, Dave. Have you been to your ward office to discuss any possible help that might be available? A woman in my building suffers from dementia and she has some group that she attends several times a week. They come and pick her up. It’s good for her and I’m sure it’s good for her husband as it gives him a break. Please take care of your mental wellbeing as much as possible

as you may have noticed, Japan is overpopulated as it is, Tokyo is overrun with tourists to the point where it is getting increasingly difficult to live here. Canada is a huge country and has plenty of space.
