It will be even more difficult for Nepali students to travel to Japan for education. Living in a foreign country obviously can magnify the normal stresses of life at home and the workplace. Japan has one of the busiest and most expensive lifestyles on Earth.
Most workers who come here from abroad are unable to adapt easily to the fast pace of Japanese cities. Many of them also have their own private issues to deal with, such as separation from family, language and economic problems and so on. Lack of information about working visas — and especially the cook visa — is also a major problem. Many restaurants demand cooks from Nepal, India and Bangladesh. Attracted by advertisements for these jobs, many people from the aforementioned countries spend a huge amount of money to get to Japan. But when they get there, they get very low pay at these restaurants. Many of the workers take out high-interest loans to make it to Japan. This imbalance between investment and earnings, exacerbated by the economic burden of trying to pay off these loans, is the most common reason for committing suicide.
