Don't worry, bud, I can understand quite well. These are hard times for everyone. I hope it'll get better soon for both you and me. Btw, so cool that you've got to see Motorama!!

What benefits does passing the JLPT give you? Do you need a proficiency certificaiton for certain visas/jobs/etc or is it mostly just so you can measure your progress?

dummkopf - Having at least N2 will open up more job opportunities, especially if you don't want to be an ALT or Eikawa instructor.

what Toji said is absolutely true, as a foreigner in Japan having a high level JLPT certificate is very beneficial; however for now I have no concrete plans to seek a job or study in Japan , so it's mostly just to measure myself and have a "Cool Official Certificate I Can Frame And Put On My Wall". it also has no relation to a simple tourist visa I got.

Thanks for the info, that's pretty cool. I can definitely imagine why maybe an engineering or accounting firm with lots of complex language would want to be sure an employee is fluent. Hoping for good results when you get them back and have fun on your trip.

are there proper simple terms for areas with different amount and concetration of human development? recently in my head I started using "hi-anthro" for very dense areas with high-rise buildings and concrete fields and "low-anthro" for these "soviet" kind of areas with less dense low to mid-rise buildings and a lot of vegetation inbetween. but I wonder if there are commonly used terms for this?

it's definitely not just "high density" and "low density" though, I think what I'm trying to express is a bit more nuanced than just density.

Maybe "urbanized" for the first kind of place

Generally all can fall under the umbrella of urbanization, however I don't think there's an distinctions between types or levels or urbanization

If we were to go by the western view of urbanization... In reality, what you see in russia with high rise apartment blocks with greenery in between is practically "sub-urbanized" despite not having the usual characteristics of western suburbs. It's more "sub-urban" as opposed to "suburban" if you know what I mean.

More so, Soviet urbanization is typically 'inorganic' in the way that it is all a very planned effort to build these apartment blocks as they were made to accomadate working class needs. Soviet apartment blocks are constructed in a way that each block contains a whole blocks daily necessities (shops, parks, schools, etc.)

The distinction between the concrete jungle (Lower Manhattan, Shinjuku, etc.) and something like the typical Soviet block has no names... Rather, all of it is urbanization, just under different names. You can call Soviet blocks something like "Soviet Urbanization" and high-rise areas as "Dense Urbanization". Something like that

Hopefully this helps...! Sorry had to flex my knowledge hahaha. The Nuance of urbanization is very hard to categorize, and while I do understand that it is beyond just density... historical context behind why places are urbanized like that can usually be written off as "government wants grid streets because high density and building up is necessary"

Mr. Saint, in such cases you just have to coin your own terminology. It's almost always better than existing ones for referring to the specific thing you notice.

Thanks everyone! Yeah since it's not like I actually have discussions about it with people I can just stick to using my own made up words in my silly head. In Kaliningrad where I live Soviet urbanization is restrained by the old city layout so it's more organic than typical "micro-districts"; they are more dense but still feel organic so they're "low-anthro" for me. I guess that's true for a lot of European cities.

trying to think about how i can relate this to my experiences to provide insight... i've never been outside of the US and most commonly there are small "cities" which spread out instead of building up, i would say rarely/not even hitting mid-rise, though with a lot of paved non-road area. it's like the sprawl around larger city areas(DFW for example) but just there in the middle of a forest
