Would you like me to continue?
You'll never believe this... it's now 2023 and I left Japan nearly 6 years ago. I didn't post on this site for an extremely long time. In fact, I almost forgot I had this account. Whilst I don't have a Japanese phone number anymore (which means I can't convert my points) I was wondering if anyone who sees this post would like me to continue talking about Japan? If so, what would you like me to talk about?
A twenty year old something, who came to experience working life and travel in Japan. What will she experience? What will she see? What will she do? Find out in this amazing travel blog and Jvlog!
That was the ORIGINAL tag line. Now I have left, but will continue updating.

I think any posts about the things that were difficult living in Japan (+ how you may have overcome them) would be interesting! Perhaps even an article about the reverse culture shock of returning home? I'd love to read about that - I know some of the contributors on this site intend to stay in Japan permanently, but myself and my husband are both foreign citizens, so it's extremely likely we'll end up in our home country one day. Knowing how you may have navigated those challenges would be really insightful!

To add to the suggestions from @genkidesu, you could tell us about what Japanese cultural aspects you've preserved or discarded. Does your region have a strong Japanese community presence - either foreign residents or descendants of Japanese immigrants? What's different or reflects your experience in Japan? Does the field you work in or cultural pursuits have a connection to your Japan experience or is this hard to achieve where you are?

It would be interesting to hear what you miss from Japan. Also, what you find really expensive back home now after living in Japan and / or what you find cheaper at home. For example, I can't get over how expensive the dentist is in Ireland, with or without insurance, and how cheap it is here, even without insurance.
