Or is it a mindset?...

I read my last entry and now I wonder...is it a simple mindset?
I mean the same is applicable back home right? The same advice I give to first timers in Japan is applicable to anyone living anywhere in world.

I think the main difference as a person who tries to evoluate is that you do not have (or should not have) the pressure to fit in since a foreigner is by default an outcast in Japan. And since noboby expects nothing from you, it is okay for you to really try anything you want. That we admit it or not there is a certain mold we all have to fit in in our respective countries.

Someone told me once: I hope you find what you are looking for in Japan...
I have found a lot...And i am now sure that by the time I leave my town, i will definetely find what I am looking for.
