Must add that another woman I know moved to Japan (also to teach English) and loves it for the same reason that you do. My sister was extremely disturbed by the Japanese attitude towards women (violent pornography sold in grocery stores, used panties sold in train-station vending machines, women dressed like little girls, etc.)

I've been teaching here for 19 years ...Has always been a love/hate relationship ...The place is full of pervs for sure ...And the vast majority of women under the age of 35 are goofy ...It's still a man's world over here , but it is changing , albeit at a snail's pace ...Crime/murder way up since I arrived in '85 ...but still lower than the U.S...I live in the Kumamoto countryside now , where crime is virtually non-existent . A peaceful existence ...Biggest threat to our lives comes from North Korea ...
