We have the best sink water in Vienna :) http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/I._Wiener_Hochquellenwasserleitung#Wasserqualit.C3.A4t

That's beside the point of course. It just shows how different our experiences are.

For some reason I was always quite lucky. Lucky in finding a job, lucky in finding a cheap apartment, lucky in getting what I bought for the money I paid. Therefore I'm more of the opinion that things will work out in the end. There might be some lows on the road, but it will turn out well in the end.

I might be pushing that view too much on you, as you've made quite the opposite experiences in the past. The truth lies somewhere in the middle though most of the times. There's some good and there's some bad.

Maybe it's because my mother is so pessimistic as well. Every time something happens to her it's like the whole world only did it to punish her. I opted for an optimistic view in the face of that as everything else would have quite literally obliterated me.

I'm sure you'll find something that works for you though. Either in Japan or somewhere else. Because you simply won't stand for staying in a bad situation anymore any longer than absolutely necessary. Right?
