hold this rep breh; you a cool MF man
you the guy who head tapped Luken right?
what made you go to Japan in the first place?
I studied Japanese in college.
To tell you the truth, I didn't give a fukk about anime, Japan or Japanese people until I went to school. But I had a great professor that made learning fun and easy. Then I just fell in love with the art, the history, and ultimately the culture.
It was then that I decided I wanted to see the world because, being a nikka from the hood, I didn't know what I didn't know. So I began travelling when I had the bread, and eventually I settled on Japan being the best place I'd been too.
It was organic.
how could you not? we either the flyest or corniest MFers on earth....no in-between
I moved from both places not be choice; just wasn't getting the value anymore for what it cost

This is part of what I mean, people don't generally realize the concentrated brain power and wealth in Los Angeles, and I'm not sure who fault that is. But when someone says LA has one of the strongest educational frameworks nationally, on some Top 5 shyt, the question shouldn't be "how"...
The number of higher education institutions in LA is commensurate for its size. CalTech is considered a western Ivy, it's one of the most renown universities on the planet. UCLA is considered a Top 25 university according to US News, USC is considered Top 30, and LA has other Top 100 schools in UC-Irvine, Pepperdine, Loyola Marymount...
This is to say nothing of the literal probably hundreds of institutions of higher ed in and around LA, it's an elite player on the global stage in university education and the many lifestyle threads that protrude from it, from life and health sciences, research, criminal justice, anything you can think of...
LA is nowhere near a lightweight and it absolutely can be argued its infrastructure is, at worst, equal to NY's, or at best, better...
salute, respect your story.
thanks for sharing. If no1 ever told you; you should be proud of yourself for making a bold move n living on your terms. it takes a lot 2 do that. a lot of character 2
how would you rank the "municipals"(is that the right word
)like fire departments, police, city services....shyt like that. who got it?

I don't rank that kinda shyt because municipal services in both cities, and really most large cities period, have long histories of scandal and political manipulation. What I will say, is the general quality of life for people in both cities is quite high when you consider there's cities in America like Flint or Jackson all over this country. So the municipal services aren't that bad, and if im comparing them to each other, bith have plenty of reason to call out for bullshyt...how would you rank the "municipals"(is that the right word
like fire departments, police, city services....shyt like that. who got it?
I'm suprised. that was a factor when I decided 2 move the fam 2 the community we in now
I feel for the residents of those bamma spots you mentioned. I took those services for granted. don't get it twisted its F the police for lyfe.....but they are necessary...I got kids I see shyt different now smell me

Yo if y'all don't go somewhere with those Wiki'd flix of parts of The Bronx y'all ain't ever been to 
You're not going to learn anything you need to about uptown from the internet. Hop the 2 train, get off at 180th, gun hill or 233rd and see for yourself. Take the 1 train to marble hill or 242nd or take the 4 to Bedford Park, Fordham or Kingsbridge.
Go to the store, ask ock for a chopped cheese and some grabba and experience what this uptown shyt is about

It's better than having them hold up the line in the patty shop asking for goofy shyt.
Los Angeles is full of drug addicts, homeless people and is super dirty, I honestly don't even think it is better than Boston. Huge disappointment when I visited. Manhattan alone shyts on L.A.
That can be said about anywhere really. St Tropez is only livable if you're French. Johannesburg is only livable if you're South African.
And yes, America, believe it or not, is only comfortable for Americans.
I've been around the world (and yes, a lot of that is Asia), and the one thing people love telling me is that they enjoy visiting here, but they'd rather live in their home country. Koreans love K-Town here in LA, but they'd rather deal with the Korean Won, the public transportation and their own culture. Japanese people have told me they'd like to live here, and when they get here, they hate how dirty New York is, how much they hate that they need a car here in LA, how there's nothing to do in the South (these are the chicks that follow military dudes), and how they like seeing the national parks, but they'd never live in those states.
So I expect you to say you'd rather live in NYC. That makes sense to me.
But amongst people that DON'T mind living in another country, Tokyo is the number 1 place almost everyone states they'd rather go. New York used to be that place, but it's not anymore, and hasn't been in decades.
I'm just the messenger
I also am heavily considering moving to Japan. There are just too many benefits for me, and I don't mind seeing Japanese faces all day. In fact, I love it. Over there, I'm unique. People already find me hella interesting simply because of my black skin. And then when they realize I speak fluent Japanese and that I'm a somewhat well known YouTuber, I'm literally a cheat code over there.
Everything is cheap. I don't need a car. The men want to be my friend, and the women absolutely love me and basically throw the cheeks at me. What more can a breh ask for, really?
It's not for everyone, but for those that it's for, it's fukking paradise
