It turns out you've experienced the same situation as I have. Back then, I agreed to take on the role of a news correspondent in Tokyo, moving from New York, largely because the company assured me it would provide opportunities to engage with diverse cultural and social environments. It was undeniably appealing at the time, but it seems the younger generation now views such prospects as more of a burden.

Thank you so much for your message, and you're always welcome to reach out!
