Comments by "Dangic23" (@Dangic23) on "10 Reasons Florida Isn't For Everyone." video.
I only lasted 16 months in Florida. But I moved to the wrong part of Florida, The Panhandle. Panhandle is Alabama. Now I am the happiest in Japan, so I guess Florida pushed me to happiness.

@lavelleswrld6309 I have family in ORL/Tampa/Miami, so I was looking into being close, but not too close, when moving from Napa. Biggest mistake of my life 😂. Sold my new built home, cars, furniture and moved to Western Tokyo. Best decision of my life.

@GNMi79 Japan is built for little interaction. Most places have a screen or machine for tickets that provide you with whatever service you are getting. Self Checkout counters have multiple languages . Many Dr offices speak English. I would say the most difficult limitation is not being able to read katakana or kanji. Sometimes you see a big event, full of people, but I have no idea what the giant banner says. Of course there are apps that translate text, so there is an option for it also.

@ShogunZIlla It’s as hot here. But it’s short lived and we have all 4 seasons, and mountains 😅. Wife and I are both retired military. We moved to Napa after 6 years of being retired in Wyoming. It was a sabbatical to recover our souls. Florida was our second attempt. Japan was a lifetime unreachable dream, But ended up being better than expected. Cost of living alone is 50% less than FL and there is way more to do here than FL.

@GNMi79 Wife and I both retired, so no need to learn a full language. Both of us already speak 3 languages and we have no plans to learn a 4th. This week will be 1 year of moving and have zero regrets, and zero plans to live anywhere else other than maybe the Philippines, which we have been to 3 times already.

@GNMi79 Been here 1 year. Never had any issues with anything.

@GNMi79 Super simple and should be something we should apply in the US. I personally dislike talking to people at the register, or sales folks. I already know what I want. 😂

@GNMi79 Yes. You do pick up a little of the language just by living in the place. This is the 6th Country I’ve lived in outside of the US. I’m used to the transitions, which is probably why moving to Japan wasn’t challenging.
