Working abroad

 I think I am getting to that age now that work culture has become more and more apparent to me. Working in the United States is interesting in that whether you improve or feel comfortable at work is kind of down to the luck of the draw and how well we you sell yourself . Being unable to sell yourself is usually a death mark. In that aspect the economy rewards ambition. On another hand it is just as cruel. Work is individualized as what your work is that is your responsibility and if you do poorly there no one will be willing to help or teach you. It kinda expected in companies to be able to work a portion of work on your own. Results matter most

Japan is different. It is like choosing a seniority group. Unlike such a group it is going to dictate your next 20-30 years. Once you go in there is little you can do to go elsewhere. If you did well and choose well and get a job you like, you will feel safe for the a good portion of your life. Otherwise it may mean hell for  the foreseeable future. That is why so much emphasis is place before when reach that point. Work is also different in that are norms as to how you’re expected to work and as well as how to conduct oneself . Because of that there is lack of drive to go and change a system.

Introduction     As an exchange student from New York, the first thing everyone ask me is what is your name? when I reply that that my name is Jonathan. I always get some surprised look from the foreigners. Maybe it is the way I look. My parents are Chinese and the ways Asian people look they aren't really all that different from each other.      The truth is i don't even know myself sometimes. Despite growing up in America, i have always considered more Asian than American. i grew up on not American food but on the meals my grandma and dad cooks for me. growing up, they always told me American food is terrible for you and forbid me from going to fast food places. This obvious came back to haunt me as adult.     As an adult i binge on McDonald way to often and now I am way to fat. of course, I can blame it all on food. My lifestyle is an issue as well. I live a very sedentary lifestyle revolving around my computer and my pencils. As a major there isn't...

A brief response

  A brief response on New York      As someone who is from New York. Most the allure that one may be familiar with New York is long gone. That would include the views the skyscrapers and usual commercial views. That doesn't mean those things aren't made out to be what people believe they are. In this short blog I will confirm or disprove some of conception foreigners may have about New York or America in general.      The first thing we have to take about is the public transportation. As any Amercian would tell you it absolutely filthy. whether it is the subways or the buses, there is always something on the seats or on the ground. it is just a nature of the resident that frequent the subways. Something else that stems from the poor behavior of the system is the abundance of rats. The size of the rodents can easily rival that of a house cat.      As you can see the rats are quite bold as well. After dwelling with humans so long any sense...

Most youths have played some form of video games may it be shooters, platformers or action games. like those Visual novels/Eroge are a genre of its own. However, this is not as nearly widely known as the other video game genre. For this reason, i hope to be able to introduce you to this unique type of gaming.     Visual or Eroges are actually a derivative of the adventure genre of games. However, unlike most adventure games they are less focus on the gameplay, but more on the narrative of the game. Like the name suggest the game is often comparable to that of a novel, but with a strong emphasis on strong visual and audio components.  Gameplay Elements     Visual novels are development of the text-based adventure games that were popular for PCs back in the 80s. Even to this day many of the visual novel is text based and is released for PC users in mind. Though through the y...
