Hi!
I'm a 26 y/o who will be moving to Japan in around 3 weeks to live there for at least a year and a half. I'm enrolled in a language school with a student visa, and will be working arubaito in that period. I visited Japan for tourism last year and fell in love with it, though I'm aware that tourism =/= living somewhere, so I'm incredibly nervous.
Looking for tips to make my transition to a new place and culture smoother. Anything helps, from recommendations on what to get from the supermarket and what to do for fun, to broader things like how to starve off loneliness/homesickness, or what mentality I should be having while living there!
