Atheism

$20,000 to $50,000? I wasn't planning on saving up for that much, but if I did it'll be another four to five years before I move to Japan, and I don't want to move to the place when I'm older. I want to do it while I'm young.

I'm 19 now, after reading your post in reply to mine, I've been thinking about new things now. Should I stop going to college and get a full-time job to save up enough money to move to Japan without worrying too much about money problems? And then go to school in Japan so I can get an education there? Or should I still go to school, and then afterwards, save up and then move? I really can't decide which is the better decision.

It's taken me a while to reach this point, but I've decided that I'm going to be moving to Japan sometime in the future. No more dreaming about it. I'm going to take the next step and actually do it. Something in my life needs to change or I'll be stuck in this limbo I'm currently in forever. It's going to be one hell of a big step for me, but as scary as that is even more frightening is the thought of not being able to go.

I'm looking into various options, such as teaching English in Japan. I've still got a lot of research to do, but now that I'm serious about this I've got to cover every angle and make sure I've got all the information I need to do this right. I've taken the first step already and ordered the Japanese Rosetta Stone, costing me about $400 USD for both the basic and advanced sets. I could have started with the basic and picked up the advanced later, but I save myself $100 picking them both up together.

Next I'm thinking of finding some sites online where I can get in touch with actual people from Japan and become pen pals or such and make a few connections in Japan itself so that I have people who can help me become familiar with everything in Japan should I need the help. I'm a little more than nervous about this part, but I'd rather have some connections over there in Japan than having to go it all alone.

There are other things to look into, like passports. Do I need any special things like a work visa or any such things? I'll be looking into citizenship as well. So much to do. I hope I can get all the information I need. It's too bad that there isn't anyone in Penticton I can ask for help with this research. All of my support systems have let me down repeatedly in the past and I've basically cut ties with them.

The one thing I'm not going to do is rush into this blindly, dashing forward blissfully ignorant in my excitement. I've done that a few to many times in the past. If there had been supports in place in those instances I might have been able to make it through those situations regardless of my errors, but that wasn't the case. Since I'll be going this pretty much alone I know that I'll have to take the utmost care to make sure I do everything right.

Wish me luck everyone!

Interesting enough, I plan on moving to Japan sometime in the future. My buddy that plays this game also lives in Japan and I might stay with him if he has extra room and if he'll allow it.

You also mentioned Rosetta Stone and telling how costly it was. I was doing some research on programs where you can learn Japanese and none of them looked pleasing enough. So I thank you for mentioning Rosetta Stone.

My friend says a plane ticket for Japan will roughly be around $800. Sounds a lot, but with a job I have, I can earn that in about a month if I manage to work for seven or more hours for four days each week.

Wish both of us luck then? Because I will be moving to Japan, and staying there for the rest of my life.

Also, if you like, we can help each other.

I built my DB/Regen for acc and rechar. my Dam output is so fast the person im duelin has no time to heal. just ask about Takai that is me. ppl used to talk about claws the same way but i build my claw/SR b4 IOs and i got to 400rep solo in a month. I racked up 34 rep n 1 hour solo. So i close with "PROVE ME WRONG"

Well damn, lets make one of the best ATs better. Im not gonna Argue, Please buff blasters more.

One of the best? What the hell are you even talking about? Or is this perspective PvP-based?

[/ QUOTE ]

And PvE-based. Soloing on Invincible ain't a problem for my Blaster.

[/ QUOTE ]

That doesn't mean it's one the best ATs. And try it on Unyielding. Spawns are bigger.

[/ QUOTE ]

That I will. Sounds like fun.

I love the irony of people complaning that Dual Blades is superfluous because it's just another lethal damage set with different animations and in the same post implying that they should have done Street Fighting instead.

*hoping to one day see dual wielding, street fighting, and polearms/staffs*

I question this as well.

Here, I'll make it easy.

"The city council and mayoral elections of 1936 swept a platform of pro-hero candidates that resulted in the passage of the Citizen Crime Fighting Act of 1937. This law made it legal for vigilantes to bring criminals to justice as long as they followed the same restrictions police officers use."

I'm pretty sure police officers are permitted to use their weapons to kill in self defense.

Actually known as, deadly force.

How, exactly? They have a heal they can activate every... 20 seconds, I believe. Significant resistance to your damage type (especially the ones with Tough).

[/ QUOTE ]

Depending on the IO slotting, the Tank or Brute can use HF every 14 seconds.

Yes.

I believe you need Unbreakable for Born in Battle.

I love the idea.
