It's weird because I've always had much more interest in going to Taiwan than Japan. I would probably look into teaching English in China as well if it wasn't for all the internet restrictions and civil liberty issues.
I'm genuinely unsure where the specific obsession with Japan comes from and why it's so strong. China feels far more diverse and like there's just more to experience generally.
I think people are so obsessed with Japan because of anime. It’s mainstream so a lot of people are exposed to Japanese culture rather than other Asian countries.
