Yeah, messed up the formatting. I've edited the original comment. Thanks.

If anyone is interested, here is a documentary about the centralisation of Korea which is related to this article.

Edit: link formatting

OP has only only been here for 4.5 months on an exchange. He clearly has rose-tinted glasses on.

I'm not denying what he is saying but I visited the UK back in February last year after 5 years here and I had a wonderful time. It felt so good to just talk to people in English and share banter, spend time with family, not have to overthink every interaction. Sure people can be loud and it can be a bit grim but it felt refreshing after being here so long. I don't really understand what these "conflicts" OP is referring to. I've only really had a bad encounter with some chavs before.

I had a good think about what I wanted out of life after that trip, and decided to move back in April (especially for career reasons). I think being the only foreigner in a traditional Japanese company has really burnt me out. But I'm glad I got to spend some time in this country!

 

6% is huge. The question is, who benefits?

Ah I misread that, If I were you, I'd just make your GitHub look as professional as possible. So that in the extremely rare chance that someone does Google you, it's obvious that the the accounts aren't linked.

That being said, your career is not over and the anxiety you have is all in your head.

Can't you just delete your Reddit account (delete all your comments/posts first), and the problem will be solved?

 

Has anyone used Italki or a similar platform to aid in their studies?

I'm considering taking weekly lessons with a tutor, the main goal in specifically improving my speaking.

I've lived in Japan for a few years and work in a Japanese company and while my comprehension is okay, my output is terrible and I always hesitate to speak.

I'm hoping a tutor would give me some real-time feedback on my speaking and help build my confidence.

I don't need a professional teacher / structured lessons and I guess my budget would be around ¥2000 for the hour (is it reasonable?)

Please let me know your experiences.

I was a broke adolescent back in 2011, but now I am a working adult with some disposable income. So the image is accurate.

Perhaps it's just habit from the days of not having a credit/debit card, but I pretty much pay only using cash. I periodically go to the ATM and withdraw 5万 and that keeps me going for a while.

I use a credit card for online purchases though.
