For all those shouting from the rooftops "You just running away from your problems" - What are YOU doing here that is so beneficial for us as a people in America and what do YOU have to gain honestly by staying in CAC land?

If money were no object I'd relocate to Africa. But I need to make at least six figures to maintain my desired quality of life and Africa ain't offering that kind of income. Shanghai and other cities in S.E. Asia on the other hand ARE.

Been to Japan a few times, beautiful country. The people have a sort of odd obsession with Black people, almost as a curiosity but don't get it twisted some people (younger ones especially) show genuine love out there too. Hip-hop is real big down there, too, which is cool, but all in all Japan is a country that you should visit at least once.

Wait what branch are you in and what's your rate? I ask because my older brother graduated from OCS near the beginning of summer. He has orders to Japan but he's been on medical hold so he hasn't been able to leave yet.

Nikkas who never been out the country talking about fight the good fight back home in the States. As if we on the brink of liberating our people. Nikka please.

I lived in Okinawa and had the best time of my life. We not lying when we say we get treated like Kings. Negroes are not getting treated like Kings in the states anytime soon. America is the most toxic place for a black man. Im taking Nihon all day.

Tell us about Germany bruh. I've always heard wonderful things especially when it came to the women

Try not to let people or kids touch your hair in public. They don't mean bad but if you let one, you gonna open up flood gates.

Yo did u ever go to the Hooters out there. Not sure how many there are out there but I was able to separate from my girls and went to one .Shoulda been called no-hooters. They also did some silly ass dance dunno if it was a certain time everyday or just every hr. But the waitresses did like a dance routine to some pop song. Manager kept looking at me like he was pimping them. I also felt smooth as fuk when I went to the blue-note jazz club out there. They prolly was expecting me to play something. Dudes were very attentive to me and my girl.

nah but i heard there was one out there. I went to TGIF and it was just like the one in the states, same food, same drinks and the workers speak perfect english. it was on the 4th floor with a nice ass view. friendly workers and a lot of cougars in there doing their happy hours in business skirts.

Went to Japan (Osaka and Mie). Had a great time.


The vast majority of folks there were polite... They stared, but mainly out of curiosity. Keep in mind, I was a foot taller than the average Japanese person and also in a very, very monochromatic country.

Elementary school kids walking off school grounds in their little helmets (they wear them so cars see them; didn't know that) would got super excited and would speak what English they knew...

I assumed most Japanese folks in their 20s and 30s knew English like you remember the Spanish/French/etc. you took in HS... They ones I met did.

Went to a nightclub and Japanese cats were hittin the Shmoney Dance like a muthafukka.
Heard that Osaka and other parts of Japan has a big hip-hop following...
Didn't know whether to or , so I said fukk it and joined em.

Afterwards, hit up a street vendors that had- and I kid you not-a Jamaican jerk chicken spot.
It was like I was back in NYC... It was delicious, Brehs.
And I hadn't had it in so long...

Could I live there for an extended period of time...?
If I had a good job or one I liked, sure.


Will I ever go back...?
In a goddamn heartbeat.

Yeah Osaka and Tokyo are where you'll most likely encounter foreigners. When I was there the girl I was with took me to Namba and told me that's where Americans are.

I'm sure you came here:
