Hello to all Americans in Osaka! Are you interested in getting to know fellow expats in Osaka? Looking for advice from other Americans, e.g. wondering if there are any bars in Osaka which will be showing your favorite baseball or American football team’s upcoming match or where to go in town for stuffed turkey?

You’re warmly invited to join the InterNations community.

Why Americans move abroad … (and do they like it?)

Every year, we publish one of the biggest global surveys for expats — Expat Insider — where we ask people living around the world about every aspect of expat life. We’ve rounded up key facts about the typical American expat: what motivated them to move to a new country, what they enjoy about life abroad, as well as what they struggle with the most.
