Hey, guess what? I might actually be going to Japan in about 5 months or so. I'm really excited. I was wondering though, I know I've said this before but I just want to make sure. I don't have any mobility problems, just hand problems
(pic (http://i200.photobucket.com/albums/aa234/synbios459/SUNP0054.jpg))
I can't really use my left hand but I can pick up and do some fairly decent stuff with my right, but it's just chest high as you can see. Anyway, I was wondering if you had any warnings for me where I may have issues. I am really excited.
A guy on another mssg board said this:
.A guy on another mssg board said this:
Japan (especially Tokyo) isn't exactly the place for the handicapped, especially wheelchair handicaps.
>>one thing I like is that you can go pretty much anywhere via bullet train, and since I can't drive
Two problems with that, in Tokyo especially:
1.) The bullet train (Shinkansen) is expensive. I wouldn't depend on that for daily travel. There are express trains that go to local locations, but because they are express (and because the Japanese believe in being extremely punctual) those trains are very crowded, especially around rush hour (mornings 7am - 10am and nights 6pm - midnight), but all depending on which line you use and your destination station.
2.) Driving is an expensive joke -- You pay for parking at your own home, and then if you park at a public location, it's impossible to find a cheap, vacant spot. There aren't abundant parking garages like there are in the States. A lot of people use scooters and motorcycles due to street size differences (they're narrower here).
If you want to live in the rural area, you're going to have to adapt to eating Japanese food and learning the language moreso than people that live in a major city -- while living in a city doesn't require much knowledge of Japanese since many people speak a little (or in some cases fluent English), out in rural areas, no one speaks English hardly at all. Major cities have more variety of food and cuisines to chose from -- rural areas have mostly and only Japanese cuisine.
My best advice for you, is to stay in the States. I can't imagine living in a Japan and having a disability. Not to discriminate, but you don't want to live here -- it'll just cause more hardships, especially if you need assistance with anything due to a handicap.
if they avoid me because of it, I won't mind to much (heck, I've had people here do the same), but do you think if I were to say try to talk to someone or ask for help getting food or whatever they'd avoid me?
Any help is appreciated.

Japan is pretty cool towards the handicapped, its probably the best place to be in the world. Japanese people are so happy and generally very helpful.
You wont need to drive anywhere. Can you ride a bike? I rode my bike everywhere, but I lived in a smaller city.
How long are you living there? Moving to another country with another language is hard for anyone no matter if they are handicapped or not. Will you know anyone there?

Just make sure you have a camera around your neck and an American Flag shirt and they will think youre a tourist and will treat you well cause you have money and they like money.

Uh, Its obvious he isnt Japanese.

Yes, but they dont like typical white people, they like white TOURISTS. If they liked any old White Person Sp0rks wouldnt be in his current position.
-
They loved me.

i want to make a joke about your condition, but then you'd probably cry.

Japan is a terrible country for wheelchair-style handicaps. Lots of stairs with no ramps, etc.
As long as you can walk okay, you shouldn't have much trouble getting around...the only thing I could see as being an issue would be getting your train tickets. Those are done at ATM-style touchscreens and by dropping change into a slot. On the other hand, as a tourist you could get a JR pass for the week and then keep it in a transparent "passport" pouch around your neck and avoid fiddling with coins that way.
re: the other board's two points
1) You will not take the bullet train unless you go from city-to-city. If you get a JR pass (about $250 for a week) it gives you unlimited local AND bullet train rides.
2) You will not need to drive ever. EVER. Unless you go to northern Honshuu and even then there are buses and taxis.
You will probably get stared at a lot, but then Japanese people stare at anyone foreign or different. Just try to remember that it's curiosity and confusion, not fear or disdain.
If you have more specific questions I can try to answer.

Come on Futami, there's better troll material in other threads.

My town also had a cultural center where you could sign up for free language courses and hang out with other foreigners. It was pretty cool.

Thanks a lot guys. Generally my only real problems are getting stuff on a high shelf or cutting up some food, and bathing is pretty difficult, but those detachable shower things that Japanese uses seems pretty cool.
Oh, and I don't live with my parents, I live in an apt close by, but since my mom is dead my dad comes over and helps.
-
If you dont mind me asking, what happened?
-
Are you just visiting Japan?

who the fuck is "we"? and nicca please with your "patronizing" bullshit. Look up patronizing in the dictionary and your stupid knuckledragging ass is pictured right next to it. wearing a doorag.

It's an handicap called Arthrogryposis, I might just be visiting for about a month.

It's clear now that your $400 jeans are an attempt to compensate for your vile personality. They're not working.
-
do you have a problem getting laid?
Probably not as much as you. cigarillo.
-
how do you play video games if I may ask?
-
how do you play video games since you love them?
With my feet, which I use to type as well. But triggers/bumpers I can't use.
Oh, another guy said this:
The Japanese tend to be ashamed of imperfections/disabilities/unfortunate circumstances. It is actually an odd sort of kindness/empathy that leads to the "turning the other cheek". It's almost as if pretending not to see you, they're less likely to embarass you. You'll find the same treatment given to the homeless, those who fall in train stations and ocaisionally those who are seriously injured on the street. People will keep walking and avert their eyes.
I think you'll find your disability will make the average Japanese far more uncomfortable than it does most the average American... but it's entirely likely that no one will ever even bring it up in conversation much less that you'll be taunted for it. It's far more likely, you will be avoided.

Well, that was really uncalled for but I will say women have rejected me because of my handicap:(
-

well, regardless of his answer - at least he doesn't have to worry about sneaking anyone past mommy & daddy

This is what I've been told by my friend from Tokyo. I work in special education, and I'm very curious as to how comparable Sped. services and disability acceptance is in other countries.

play videogame?
he is a videogame.
dude looks like an enemy from silent hill.

To be honest, an American one. Treating the handicapped as "invisible" is not uncommon.
Though you'll be sure to find people who will be happy to help in either country.

Dude you type with your feet and paly video games with your feet? Thats amazing. Holy shit dude. :o

Dude. Don't go to Japan looking for a girl.
And, from my experiences, in general, Japanese women tend to be shallower than American women.

So will you be staying with a host family?
-
Get a hooker in japan.
-
No, just may be visiting with my dad. Well, are Japanese hookers hotter than American ones, if so.....maybe.
LOL I can only imagine a host family having to take care of a handicap foreigner, pretty weird to say the least.

Oh, do Japanese places have those sliding doors a lot? I do have trouble with door knobs.

Your mom helps.

oooh.
the gloves are off now.

Im actually kind of curious also. Do you jerk it?

I am also curious. :-\
Anyway what type of games do you play with your feet? Isn't it hard for really action based ones?
-
i'm not THAT curious.
jeez, guys.
-
I am also curious. :-\
Anyway what type of games do you play with your feet? Isn't it hard for really action based ones?
I use my big toes for everything pretty much, I keep the KB/M on a computer table like normal I just raise the computer chair as high as it will go and rest my heels on the table as you would your wrist and just move my foot depending on what key needs to be pressed.
As far as the mouse goes, same concept I put my right foot on the table and use my big toe for the left mouse button and use the right part of my foot to use the right mouse button.
In FPS I make the right mouse button go forward and make strafe left/right/down to the arrow keys respectively, I use the left part of my foot for those.
I want to get a better gaming mouse but all tne impressions are for hands:) So I guess I';ll have to experiment. The thing that I hate is triggers/bumpers on consoles, they';re my bane. Since I put all my controllers on the floor (except Wii) the R2/L2 buttons on the PS3 kept pushing against the floor making me have to buy the adaptor to use my PS2 controller.
Although from what I';ve heard you don't have to be handicapped to hate them:)
When I play the Wii I can use my right arm well enough to hold and aim the Wiimote I sit on the couch and turn the nunchuck to the left a little and use my big toe to move the stick and just use my little toes on my right foot to press the Z and C buttons (although it is sometimes hard to press the C button).

No, I live off of SSI. I want to go to college and get a degree so I can teach english in Japan. I've tried applying at various places but I've never got called back. Unfortunately I live in a small town and can't drive so my options are limited. That's one reason I really think Japan would be great for me, I'd be able to actually travel.

I don't think you'd get hired to teach English in Japan. While it's been referenced as simply too embarrassed to acknowledge you, the Japanese are pretty superficial. I doubt they have things like ADA, 504 and IDEA.
And, you know, you could always move to a larger city in the US with good public transportation. You'd have a better chance at employment.
Japan is not some magical land where everything is perfect. It's far from it.

I never said that it was. Maybe so, but I'd at least like to try. And if I were to move to a big city I'd rather it be some place really unique.

What's ADA, 504, and IDEA?
America is much more accepting of individuals with disabilities than most places in the world. Go to Japan and visit, I'm sure you'll enjoy it, but please don't think that you'll be better off if you lived there.
ADA = Americans with Disabilities Act
IDEA = Individuals with Disabilities Education Act
Section 504 of the 1973 Rehabilitation Act is American legislation that guarantees certain rights to people with disabilities

if you dont want to travel then move to a big city in america like NYC.
Going to live in japan with your condition is sadly absurd and unrealistic.

Well do you speak Japanese? And being alone with a handicap in a place that likely is not going to be warm and friendly towards you does not seem to be an enjoyable life to live.

No, but I'd be willing to learn t. And I sure don't feel as if where I live in warm and friendly towards me. As I said, I realize that I may be looked at differently and people may not be completely friendly towards me, but that's certainly how I feel where I live, at least living in Japan would be unique and I could actually go places. I may be alienated, but being handicapped I feel alienated anyway.

where would you be able to go in Japan that is worth the loneliness (more than you are experiencing now, language barrier is worse than you realize) than say a big city like NYC?

Well, like I said it wouldn't solve all my problems, nor am I saying the language barrier wouldn't suck but it's just that my handicap has kept me from doing many things I'd like to, and I just want to be able to go all out and see really unique things. I do want to see more than just Japan, but for me I think it would be the most handicap-friendly than other country's. And there are fellow foreigners I could talk to anyway. To me, if I'm was going to live in a big city like NY I'd rather live somewhere where it's very different and unique, rather than just a big version of where I live.
Let me ask you: Say you were me, you were handicapped, lived in a small town, couldn't drive, and the only person who helped you was your dad, but you still wanted to travel and see new and interesting things, and since you're handicapped you always knew you'd feel alienated no matter where you'd go, what would you do?
-
it'd probably be easier for you to live in a 3rd world country. at least you could hire someone for a few dollars a day to take care of you. and give you some head on the side.

Synbios459, welcome to the evilbore.
Japan is indeed a glorious land where no violence exists. I do however, have to ask you a few questions before you leave us for the promised land, to make sure you are eligible, of course:
1. do you like the video game series mother/earthbound?
2. do you like anime, an example being "Bleach"?
3. do yo find asian women attractive regardless of looks. Just the mere fact they are asian?
-

why japan, seriously, given that it would be WORSE than nyc for one of the handi-capable
if i were handicapped and stuck in a small town, i'd fuckin' move to the city, get a serious internet connection, and rub my handi-cock to all the internet porn my fuckin' cripdick could handle. on my days off, i'd perform comic acts on street corners for rich white liberals and their money.

word, i'm not even handicapped (much) but that sounds like a day in the life for me
-
Yeah, but who do you think would be more likely to look past my handicap and help, an American girl, or a Japanese one?
I've talked to you before about Japan, and I see now you've moved the discussion here because your lies about your "girlfriend" on GAF got everyone against you. BUT anyway.
I wouldn't go to Japan to visit for a month. Not only is that going to be quite costly, but I think you'll end up extremely depressed and lonely if you are not travelling with anyone. Nothing should be stoppong you from going, but I wouldn't recommend going it alone in your case.
I hate to say this, but I think you have zero chance of hooking up with a girl here. For one thing, you won't even be able to communicate with them, and most of them are going to outright ignore you. If you're looking for a relationship, there's no way in hell you can get one by travelling someplace for a short time.
And if you're talking about living here, FORGET IT DUDE. You can't just up and move here. You need to get a job and the proper visa first. And as I recall, you haven't gone to or finished college. It's not going to happen.

synbios, I don't get why you have this vision of Japan as being the perfect place for a handicapped foreigner to live. You would be completely miserable here, you wouldn't be able to talk to anyone, I doubt you'd be able to get any sort of job due to your handicap, and there is basically zero chance you'd be able to get a girlfriend (as others have stated, Japanese girls tend to be more shallow than American girls). I hope that if you come, you at least come on some sort of package tour so you have stuff to do other than wander around the streets of Japan by your lonesome.
lyte edge, he said he was going with his dad so he wouldn't be alone all the time, but I wonder if he'd want his dad coming with him when he tries to go to a soapland or to kabukicho or some place like that (which I suspect is one of the real reasons for his visit).
-
Yeah, but who do you think would be more likely to look past my handicap and help, an American girl, or a Japanese one?
I've talked to you before about Japan, and I see now you've moved the discussion here because your lies about your "girlfriend" on GAF got everyone against you. BUT anyway.
I wouldn't go to Japan to visit for a month. Not only is that going to be quite costly, but I think you'll end up extremely depressed and lonely if you are not travelling with anyone. Nothing should be stoppong you from going, but I wouldn't recommend going it alone in your case.

put succintly, kill yourself.
god was smoking crack the night he dealt your hand.
his girl left him, jesus came out of the closet, and satan sent him a videotape of his mother getting gangbanged in hell's bathroom.
that's life, dude.
next time, just maybe, you'll come out looking like brad pitt, only with a cock my size.
btw, i'm about to go out and dance with amazingly hot females, one of whom i hope to slide my enormous cock into when the night's done.
laters.

No I'm pretty sure the girl at the local chinese place looks the exact same as her 20 million twins in China/Japan.

To the J-gaffers... if you're an average-to-decent looking Italian-American with good hygiene and limited Japanese knowledge (but slightly shy), what shot do you have of getting ass in Japan? Is it really as easy as they say?

As easy as in the US. Japan is not the miraculous land where women prostrate themselves before foreign guys, no matter what other j-gaffers have told you. If you go to a club that has slutty girls, you'll get laid - as you probably would in America.

do they cry like in the movies?

From personal experience, no. But maybe I'm just not good enough to get them to do it.

Pics or it didn't happen.
P.S. It's "Colombian" and "Delilah" isn't a Spanish name. YOU FAIL.

not meant as a challenge or anything, but as i`ve not been in the singles scene in Japan for about 6 years, i need to ask :
how often do you get laid Ichirou?
As a single honky American, how much action do you actually get to see?
do they cry like in the movies?
No , the rohypnol usual takes care of that *thumbs up!*
I'm not white...and I don't go to clubs. So, not much. :P
-
You're not the first person to make that mistake. I think it's typical to assume that if a foreigner comes to Japan to teach English he must be a white American. :sp0rsk1

So are you guys saying I'm doomed to having to spend the rest of my life in the states :(

Get your shit together and go to school first.

Finish college and study Japanese.
-
You need a 4 year degree right?
-
Yes. If you're really serious about teaching English in Japan, I recommend taking some courses about teaching English as a second language, as well as focusing on Japanese. I'm basically here temporarily, unlike lyte edge or dcharlie, so after a couple of years I'm going to be gone, but it sounds like you are seriously considering moving here at least semi-permanently so if you are really really serious, you should start working on those things, like, pronto.
EDIT: I will leave that last horrid run-on sentence untouched as a reminder to edit myself before posting.
-
Why is it that they requite a 4 year degree for a work visa? Just because you complete college doesn't mean you'll be a good employee.
I'll look for an ESL.
-
Because it would be stupid to hire someone without an education to be an educator, I guess.
-
if you want to be a teacher without well getting somesort of teaching degree that would be rather odd.
It's 2007, if you want to do anything with life you need a college degree.

QFT. You might not feel it's fair, Synbios, but that's the way it is. Hiring someone with a degree inspires a certain confidence that said person knows his/her stuff.

Actually it's more who you know then anything. My brother doesn't have a college degree but he is friends with someone and makes a little over $45,000 a year.

You're never going to get over here without going to college. If you don't want to go to school, then stop whining and go find something else to do.

Educational institutions have minimum requirements...if you are serious about coming over here, you should hit the books. Otherwise, you're wasting our time asking about Japan because you're never going to be able to work here without a college degree.

Is there anything to do over there besides eat food?

y'know, even at the height of my videogame- and anime-fueled homojapuality back in '94, i still never considered moving to japan nor did i ever want a japanese girlfriend.

I wanted a japanese girlfriend, only because they have small hands and it would make my phallus look 10x bigger :(

I know that, I was just replying to his "if you want to do anything in your life you need a degree" comment.

except for IT, where plenty of people never went to college, preferring to teach themselves and earn certificates.
college is an expense that many people will regret years after graduation.
i've defaulted on my loans because i don't feel like paying $500 a month.
it's bullshit.
i have a degree from one of the finest schools on the east coast, and what did it get me?
admittedly, though, my focus isn't a 9 to 5.
my focus is writing -- screenwriting (re-writing a script now) and poetry.
but until that takes off, i have to suffer the the 9 to 5 grind for a paycheck that affords me nice clothes and fast women.
-
A degree from one of the finest schools on the east coast and still living with the parental units. :lol

i live with them out of choice.
it's not as if i can't afford it, if i truly wanted to move out.
i just don't want to abandon a lifestyle that sees me live like a rockstar.
what can i say?

Anime is cartoons here. Like the shit you see on Saturday morning TV.

I wouldn't mind a Japanese girl as a novelty bang, but I mostly prefer white girls.

Yeah, just like all the white, black, red, purple, and green people.

I prefer girls who look good. That's pretty much it....don't give a shit about race, although I find I generally like women of color more.
