the op is, in fact, MAteacher, who just "Joined: 27 Feb 2015" to troll and avoid himself, as many have stated, as niceniceloser.

Lets see what notable and regular esl'ers are saying about this new trolling fraud:

Maitoshi: "Don't respond to this loser.. it's clearly MAteacher"

rxk22: "Wow, you are def MAteacher. This is really lame"

nightsintodream: "Oh, give over. Everyone knows you're MAteacher. Get a life already."

zues: "nicenicegaijin (or whoever you are), you are an idiot."


We regret to inform you MAteacher, based on your list of references, we have decided not to hire you at this time. Regards

Could you post the link to that quote you have been attributing to me, stumptowny? I don't recall calling anyone on this forum a "loser." It doesn't sound like me at all.

Stumtown, I know why you are calling me a troll. It is because I am questioning your credibility and you have been caught out as a liar. Please could you enlighten us to how you became an investor with a net worth of 500.000 USD in the space of 2 years by saving 2000 usd per month? We would really like to know, I am sure your job at Shane also helped you save money as did the privates you taught at 3000 yen per hour. Unless you can clarify that, no one on this board will respect you or investment (I mean Max Keiser's) advice. You can keep calling me a troll, and MAteacher, but your accusations are based on opinion only.
I can categorically prove you are a liar and so can anyone else by reading your post history. As you will see I have never lied, I work at a university and I was an ALT with the JET program. I also never talk about how much or how little money I have unless provoked. No one with money goes around telling people how much they have on an internet forum apart from people who don't have any. i.e. mateacher and stumpytown

Why are you following them about the boards posting the same thing over and over? It's very stalker-y and more than a little sad.

Yeah stump. I think that op can be something of a handful but running stopping any discourse to remind people isn't much better. If they're being an outright jerk, report them. No need to interrupt a valid question.

I really do think stumptowny is making stuff up, after all. Hadn't really cared or thought much about it until he started attributing made up quotes to me.

Then again, I can't see it as mattering so much, either way. Who knows, it may be something I posted awhile back about MA teacher, rather than NNG. "Loser" doesn't sound inventive enough to me. I'd like to think I'd be more creative than that. Drunk posting at some point may be at the root of it, too. Wish I had a link ...

To answer OP, I think Kanagawa would be nice. Somewhere coastal like Kamakura Would be prime but even Yokohama wouldnt be too bad. Need the ocean, I've come to realize.

Osaka. I'm living here now and, despite not seeing a large portion of the country, everywhere I've been has been nice, but not homey like here. At this point it would be weird to live anywhere else in Japan.

I agree Kamakura was probably the best place to live in Japan as a gaijin.
I would now say Miyazaki, Fukuoka and Kagoshima since Fukushima. A lot of the food in Kanto is contaminated and is all over the supermarkets and restaurants. If I had children I wouldn't live anywhere east of Osaka.

I'd prefer to move here and there, seasonally.

Rxk22 you could call it that. you could also call someone who drives under the speed limit or people who buy travel insurance chicken too. I would call it risk averse. The Japanese media and pro nuclear media in general do not want to broadcast the fact that a lot of the soil in kanto is contaminated. We all saw the plant blow up and you can have a look at independent media and studies conducted by universities that are independent and make up your own mind.
I wouldn't want my children to eat contaminated food and for it to accumulate in their bodies over time.
