I am Danish, but I live near Nagoya in Japan for some years now.
Fellow Dane! Must be quite a differnece living in Japan now, huh?
Copenhagen, Denmark but moving to the US this September!
I'm curious to hear that story! I'm an American who moved to Sweden 2 years ago. Welcome to the expat life! :biggrin:
Oh yeah, no welfare or anything like that. Overwork is just expected, and may heaven have mercy on you if you dare step out of line without conforming to the group.
Being a foreigner helps though. It's a little difficult to fit in, but generally people are very open and welcoming, and you are cut a LOT of slack for being a foreigner compared to regular Japanese workers. It's a little disgusting tbh. Paygap is massive too.
But it's a beautiful country with a very mysterious and interesting culture. Food is awesome too.
Funny how nobody has basically ever even heard of WoW. Sure hope I can become a little more social in classic, been all but playing a single player game these last few years. Being able to farm conveniently in off-peak hours is nice though!
Yeah went here as a tourist just before my 20th birthday and totally fell in love with the place.
Made it my goal to move here to work and have a life before my 30th birthday. Took a while, but finally got a fulltime job and settled down about 2 months before that birthday came! Eventually met my wife etc. Life's good :) But would be better if classic would bloody well come out soon :(

Multiple expats around here, pretty cool :smile:
I started playing basketball when I was young and through that I found an enormous interest in American sports and culture. I have since then been to the States three times, and in one of those visits I met a guy who introduced me to shipping and logistics and its international opportunities. I applied for a job in the field back home and started the two year education. Once I graduate this summer my contract ends with the company in Denmark and I got the a job working for the same guy I met in the US. The location is subject to change, but we're assuming NYC, LA og Chicago.
I am only 21 so it's going to be tough, but they're going to help me get situated.

The overwork especially is something I would be worried about, coming from Danish culture. Weird how they cut you so much slack, I would assume you would have to prove your worth even harder as a foreigner.
Definitely convenient for farming in off-peak hours!
