It's true, I've noticed in that in the last 12 years how news articles in Japan talk a lot more about ADHD in way they didn't before. A law was revised back in 2016, one that was enacted in 2005 to include medical conditions like ADHD. And yeah, I've had experiences with cult members approaching me.

That's so creepy how sects like that can just sneak its way into the lives of ordinary people :O Glad that the situation resolved itself before she was able to create a massive situation, as in trying to win students over to her dubious group! I'm pumped for the walk&talk session :D I hope that somewhere in the background we will hear the family mart jingle. Man i miss that from while i was in Japan. That sound was always followed by something good to eat. Somehow impressive, how they were able to condition me over just 3 weeks xD

Haha that's crazy. At least she volunteered so you didn't spend too much on her. I stayed with my friend's family the first time I visited Japan when I was 20 years old. I found out when I was there they were members of "SGI" and attended a New Year celebration with them. I found out later it's a cult, luckily though they didn't try to push it on me or talk much to me about it. My friend chanted with them and participated in the religion while she lived at home, but eventually she moved out and disengaged from SGI, though her parents are still members.

I dunno what pill you were taking there but if it's for AD(H)D then it might be the same one that American students frequently abuse to help themselves focus and study. If she got exposed to that in America and saw kids basically getting addicted to speed when they didn't actually need it for ADHD, I could sort of understand why she might resonate with that group and join them.

Does your school just teach English to Japanese people, or do you also teach Japanese to Americans who need to learn it? Would you consider doing that?
@unrested4 ай бұрын
Just English. If I were to have Japanese I would have a native speaker teach it. People learning Japanese from me would just end up sounding like kindergartners.

@@unrested Yeah, I know. I meant you'd have to have a Japanese person do those lessons. It'd' probably take up to much extra space and money, I guess. I've been watching your videos for a long time. From what I can see, it seems to me that the thing that attracts so many Americans to Japan, (maybe not you personally, as much, but I think a lot of other people,) is that it's such an insular country and that fact makes it a nice place. It seems like so many people don't want to learn English because they don't see the need. They're happy the way they are. And they seem to be so conservative and old fashioned. I think that's what attracts a lot of outsiders and makes them think they want to live there. But part of what makes the country that way is the fact that they're not so open to outsiders. So it's weird kind of irony. Like, the fact that they've done so much to avoid foreign influences and keep to themselves, is what makes more foreigners want to move there.

I wonder where she was getting her money from to live.do you know if that cult pays people or something? How was she financially supporting herself? I could see how someone could do something like this in a country like Japan, but I bet in the U.S, a person wouldn't be able to get a job at a for profit business and decline a paycheck. It wouldn't be legal, and the business could get in a lot of trouble if the department of Labor found out. Now if you wanted to work for a nonprofit organization on the other hand, it would be totally fine. But a regular tax paying business, there's no way they would allow this.
