I don't mind finding work in Japan... ...if it wasn't so hostile to workers

So far, Japan is near the bottom of my list for western countries to work at, and I would much rather find a job in Korea instead

Japan is an Eastern country. In fact, it's the farthest East county possible.

I think the words you were looking for were "first world countries".

Syntax would be more like sentence structure and order. Contractions are indeed grammar.

It's an updated version of a Dutch province

Depends on your meridian.

Nobody takes that to be literally about geography anymore. Japan might be far away from Texas, but it's politically a lot closer than Russia just a ferry ride away.

Po-tay-to po-tah-to doesn't really matter to distinguish between them when what I meant was clear, although I probably would've said first world if I was nitpicking my post before sending
