I just quit my day job and moved to Japan (Tokyo specifically) and I have to say: the option to buy healthcare is pretty nice. It's priced according to your previous year's tax return, so those who can pay more, do so.<p>I have also found a very healthy tech community here, although the bridge between the locals and the foreigners is somewhat weak.<p>Also, new stories on HN are on the US cycle so I'm usually commenting when people are asleep. I feel like the comment fairy.
