<human>: Ever since I could remember, I've been fascinated by Japan and its people and have dreamed of moving there since i was very young . I know what you're thinking, "Another anime fanboy." And while, yes, I do enjoy some animes, that has never been my reason for wanting to go. I simply love the beauty of Japan's country side, The technological awe of their major cities, their lack of crime, their care for the Earth, and the sense of respect for people as human beings that the Japanese feel much more strongly about than your average American (I'm an American, btw).

So anyway, I'm 20 years old and still don't know what I want out of life. I know that I've never wanted to settle for just any job in some small town in the Northwest. I've always wanted a career that made me happy. So recently, (these past few late nights, spent on my laptop) I've been looking into teaching English in Japan through a program like JET. I don't speak Japanese but plan on learning it whether I go or not.

What I'm wondering is: Is this just another pipe dream? Will life in Japan be more miserable than in America? Is teaching in a foreign country a little harder or MUCH MUCH harder than in my own country? Are English teachers in Japan typically happy? 

So if you read this and have any input on where I should start, if this is too far fetched or flat out too expensive, I'd like to hear what you have to say. 

*sigh*...

Can you condense the text into three sentences or less?
<bot>: ? I live in America, love Japan, and am thinking of becoming and English teacher to teach there. Good idea? Bad idea?
