In the Meiji period, "learn from the West" was a huge thing in Japan. Many of the "founders" of the modern Japan studied somewhere in Europe, not the USA. Recently it's true that American influence seems to be stronger. Still, universities here have more professors specializing in German, French, English etc than American (U.S.) literature. Classical music and confectionery from Europe are everywhere, and professionals travel to Europe to study.

Also, we buy European (mostly German and French) cars. Far more than American cars.

If some of you guys have ever been to Germany/Europe what surprised you the most when you've been there?

I've been to Berlin recently. Surprised by how freely people smoke on street. It used to be like that in Japan too, maybe 20 years ago, but it's almost disappeared here in Tokyo (prohibited by many municipal-level laws). This partly has to affect the cleanliness thing.

I felt familiar with the types of the cars on road - German and Japanese carmakers do seem to sell a lot of similar types (well, very roughly speaking). I got a quite different impression when in the USA. Their cars are ... huge.

Just a non-expert guess, but there is more room for reducing CPU power consumption than communication in the coming years? I would guess that there is a harder physical limit for the signal to travel through X km, than CPUs with decreasing sizes.

Disregarding the graphics/LCD/backlight (which will stay the same over different learning strategies), communication seems to consume quite a lot. https://www.usenix.org/legacy/event/atc10/tech/full_papers/Carroll.pdf#page=8

There have been studies saying that the Japanese written language takes more time to learn, and that it's faster to read once you have learned. So it kind of pays off.

Also, in my experience, as a kid it took six years to learn a set of kanji that allows you to read newspapers without any issues. 0.1 years for the English alphabet, but 5 years for a full set of newspaper-level English words and phrases.

I'm looking for jobs overseas as a junior software engineer (half seriously, half just to keep my mind open). What would be the job prospect for me in the Netherlands? I often see Amsterdam being referred to as one of the top cities for IT jobs in Europe.

I remember reading there was an unusually good work permit situation for Japanese nationals in the Netherlands for historical reasons. Not sure how it is now.

On a related note, what are interesting IT startups in/from the Netherlands?

EDIT: found this - there was no need for work permit. (But it is required now.)

I'd really like to see these roles performed as I felt / envisioned them.

I beg to differ. I think 自分 (jibun) should be read 'self' (the actors themselves) here. 1) Using jibun in the meaning of 'I' (the speaker) is a bit Osakaben-like. 2) That reading makes him overly pushy, as in 'the actors should behave exactly how I think they should'.

Technically one of the translation of 自分の感じたまま is indeed "as I felt", but given what he says afterwards (e.g. "Everybody is a professional"), a more likely interpretation here is something along the line of "I'd hope that they perform these roles in a manner they feel right".
