My friend taught esol in japan, he thought he was going to get tons of chicks but didnt get a single lay. Sloots there want to see your rep count before they will bang you.

I think it would be good thing to do as long as you have an exit strategy and other options career wise.

I visited Japan and it seemed like a chill place to live.

Good luck in getting into Japan as an American

Why’s it seem as such a loserish thing? It seems like a good way to travel and see the world in a self sustainable fashion. Am I missing something?

Lol at the jealous haters.

Looks like a good plan to me man, especially if you're still young. It's an adventure, do it before you fall into the wageslavery and mortgage cucking.

The only time people think esl teachers in Asia are losers is if they're ugly and look like they don't have confidence. Then everyone knows why you came...

Speaking from a very limited trip of only nine days in Japan, I think that I would love and you will probably love living there. The country is extremely clean, literally everywhere and anywhere everything is spotless, the public transportation system is incredibly efficient, food is affordable but Transportation and living expenses may put a strain on a tight budget. Tokyo at least was fairly expensive, Kyoto was less so. The language barrier can be a bit tricky, it’s not like every other country that everyone speaks English but Google translate works wonders and as long as your friendly people respond the same.

I wish I could’ve gone for longer, I am planning another trip hopefully next year when the corona things settle down I would like to see Osaka, And ski up north. If you’re single and you have the opportunity to teach I would say go for it, hbbs galore, everyone is in shape but good luck running into your love at a subway, it’s busy as hell and 99% are buried on their phones so jdm tinder is probably best.

I'd do it if I were younger. Go for it, OP. Especially if you're not tethered by anything here yet.
