Yeah, messed up the formatting. I've edited the original comment. Thanks.

If anyone is interested, here is a documentary about the centralisation of Korea which is related to this article.

Edit: link formatting

2/10. Are there any giveaways that a face is AI generated?

As a mixed third generation immigrant, I get this a lot. In my experience, most people want to know my ethnicity, but for some reason they never ask me that directly.

OP has only only been here for 4.5 months on an exchange. He clearly has rose-tinted glasses on.

I'm not denying what he is saying but I visited the UK back in February last year after 5 years here and I had a wonderful time. It felt so good to just talk to people in English and share banter, spend time with family, not have to overthink every interaction. Sure people can be loud and it can be a bit grim but it felt refreshing after being here so long. I don't really understand what these "conflicts" OP is referring to. I've only really had a bad encounter with some chavs before.

I had a good think about what I wanted out of life after that trip, and decided to move back in April (especially for career reasons). I think being the only foreigner in a traditional Japanese company has really burnt me out. But I'm glad I got to spend some time in this country!

No way. Imagine being stuck in complete darkness unable to move your body for that amount of time. I'd lose my mind and probably have a panic attack thinking to myself what if they don't dig me up?. The money isn't worth the mental trauma that would cause me.

I'm not sure if that would be considered well travelled from a European perspective. For example if you live in the Netherlands, you could drive to Germany, Belgium, Luxembourg and France all within 3-5 hours. A quick Google says the average European visits 8 countries within their lifetime. Geographical proximity and culturally dissimilarity definitely need to be considered.

 

6% is huge. The question is, who benefits?

Ah I misread that, If I were you, I'd just make your GitHub look as professional as possible. So that in the extremely rare chance that someone does Google you, it's obvious that the the accounts aren't linked.

That being said, your career is not over and the anxiety you have is all in your head.

Can't you just delete your Reddit account (delete all your comments/posts first), and the problem will be solved?

Thanks for sharing, did you stick with the same tutor throughout the 2 years?

 

Has anyone used Italki or a similar platform to aid in their studies?

I'm considering taking weekly lessons with a tutor, the main goal in specifically improving my speaking.

I've lived in Japan for a few years and work in a Japanese company and while my comprehension is okay, my output is terrible and I always hesitate to speak.

I'm hoping a tutor would give me some real-time feedback on my speaking and help build my confidence.

I don't need a professional teacher / structured lessons and I guess my budget would be around ¥2000 for the hour (is it reasonable?)

Please let me know your experiences.

I'm using wefwef (voyager) and I can't see the difference unfortunately

I was a broke adolescent back in 2011, but now I am a working adult with some disposable income. So the image is accurate.
