According to The Asahi Shimbun, while young people from Japan are increasingly flocking to Australia on working holiday visas in pursuit of adventure, language skills and good wages, many face a harsh reality on arrival.
Some 200 people, many in their 20s and 30s, were waiting in a line for free food on a recent early afternoon at a park in Brisbane in eastern Australia. Their voices filled the park with many languages other than English, including Spanish and Japanese. On the table set up at the center of the park vegetables, fruit and bread were labeled with a sign saying “free food.” The organizer of this event, Jimmy Fahham, 79, from the local charity Community Friends, said the group started this campaign 15 years ago primarily to distribute food to the homeless and people with disabilities. https://www.asahi.com/ajw/articles/15395932
