Japanese Living in Australia
Sao Paulo, Honolulu, New York and Los Angeles have some of the largest Japanese communities outside of Japan.
In the last ten years, although the number of Japanese visiting Australia has decreased, the number of Japanese choosing to stay in Australia has increased.
Now Sydney is the 6th largest Japanese community outside of Japan and Melbourne is the 7th.
There are about twice as many Japanese women than men who choose to live in Australia.
The ABC has a short news article about the subject. You can listen to an interview with some Japanese visiting Australia.

Hi, Aidan-san.
I found this posting very interesting, because I am one of those Japanese women you mentioned above.
Personally I like Australia for its openness, but also because there are more people who give me the chance to become part of the country and the local community.
I can make jokes and they don’t get offended that often.
It’s interesting to see Australian’s point of view.:)
Hi ペンネームなし,
Thank you for your comment.
I’m glad you enjoy living in Australia.
I think it’s good to have a multicultural society. It’s always interesting to learn about other cultures.
Have fun,
Aidan.
