How Q Found Her Groove

Q also typifies how the Japanese immigrant of today - young, artistically inclined, open to risks and twice as likely to be female than male - differs from the bulk of immigrants to New York, who come to take advantage of the city's economic opportunities.

-
In the last two decades, thousands of young Japanese like Q have come to New York in search of the custom-tailored lifestyles that are hard to carve out in a homeland, where johshiki - traditional ways and morality - still exert a powerful influence. Such young people make up the majority of their fellow countrymen, or rather, countrywomen, living in the city.

intersting thing is that a majority of japanese immigrants on a permanant level are here for personal reasons. Many people that find japanese society over whelming and too collective escape to america.

A lot of other japanese people here are here on business and plan on returning someday.

So yeah, even with the recession in Japan most japanese that come to america would be here to escape the opressive comformity culture of japan. I'm not too surprised that a lot of it is women because japanese culture isn't as friendly to women in the work place as is it for men.

I found this very very interesting. I want to go to Japan, and have for a very long-time. Its rare to have women's and ethnic japan. we need more on the forum. I be very interested in your opionon on America, especially the Iraq-war, Bush/Chenney, are gun culture, and other things.
