Not gringos, gaijin.
Visit there first. I've spent time there, my fiance is Japanese. I love the culture, but I'm not even sure I could swing living there full time.
It is a wonderful country, but it's weird. I like to say it's living a musuem of the very near future. Get used to no public trashcans. Imagine seeing another gaijin - white, black brown or whatever and just wanting to run over to them to speak english just because you think you might have forgotten how...the concept of clothes dryers haven't occured to them yet...coffee in a cup to go is only now catching on, but plenty of canned coffee vending machines....heated toilet seats rock - but the coldest place on the planet is a japanese bedroom in January, you have no idea....I mean the culture is just so different..and those dreaded Kancho assassin!!!
