Watch who you say alien to
Eirian ( the japanese pronounciation) is one of the worst insults you can use to a girl

Dont be misunderstood!

Yeah, that's how it is in just about every state in America. For one, the proximity to the equator is important. Northerners aren't courteous nor very helpful, and Southerners, for the most part, are. Westerners (California) are just out there. *American joke* :P

arigatou..... actualy i was wondering why i wanted to live in japan so badly... but i can't think of singel good reason WHY... and then i think of all the stuff we have here in cali.... and it seems we have a great place to live here........... but i still wanna go to japan.... i dunno why but maybe i'm looking for something there.......

on a side note: i wonder if some japanese teens are as hardcore about the U.S. and view it the same way we view and feel about japan...? :crazy: I know my college professor came to the u.s. when she was in highschool in japan on a student visa... and she said she just never went back... NOW SHE TEACHES AT AN AMERICAN COLLEGE!!!! :)

A lot of them, if not all of them would like to visit at least once. They are very much impressed about the size of America. A lot of them get jaded, however that when they think of the U.S. they think of NYC (bright lights, big city), and California. They don't realize that U.S. has a lot more to offer than just those 2 area. Funny story, 3 yrs ago a friend of mine from Okinawa wanted to visit us in America (we're in N. Virginia, near DC) so we said of course and that we will pick him up at Dulles or National Airport. He decided that their was a ticket cheaper, but with a destination of a different location. He flew from Naha ======> Minnesota and called "Well I'm here in the airport. Can you pick me up?" What a frickin' clown! :mad: But it was cool and he eventually enjoyed his stay. (in DC)

LOL that's afunny story!!!! its trips me out when people say that everything in america is big!.....im all like "what do ya mean?.... its the norm" it also trips me out how the whole of CALIFORNIA is bigger that the whole of England or JAPAN!!!! :google:

I'm not saying that it's bad to live there (in JPN) but I know of people that wanted to go and altho they have some neat stuff there, they eventually want to come back home. Visiting a place first gets you an idea of what the place is like. That's why I think I can live there, I can get used to all the bad things there. The good things are just a bonus.

yeah same here i think we're just "romanticised" with the way we see japan in doramas and in cinema and in documetaries..... i guess ya never know how a place realy is untill ya set foot there in person
12 Sep 2003, 01:57 #93
You'd be surprised at how small everything is, rooms inside homes, cars, clothes sizes, portions servings (foodwise), i can go on....Oh, and don't EVEN mention about crowds. Hey NYC, LA, you think you guys are crowded, you haven't been to any big cities in JPN. Tokyo disneyland? Fugetaboutit!!! 2+hrs to get on a ride! :angry:
12 Sep 2003, 02:02 #94
wow 2+ hours for a 3 min ride......hmmmmmm... well we already wait that long at places like SIX FLAGS... ya ever been niko? i still wanna go to japan just to see for myself and judge where i should live there or not... but my teach tells me that i should stay with her here... what to do? what to do? :mecry:
12 Sep 2003, 02:03 #95
yeah i saw this program on the Travel Channel about Japan and it like everyone have cellphones. The living space are very small. There was this place that is like a hotel and they sleep in like a coffin looking bed. I wanna try my hand at Pachinko. I really want to visit and maybe live there for awhile but not in the big city on the countryside. Japan is a very nature friendly country.

Da Bad news is It don't come cheap man U just have to earn it to staying there..As I ever write in one of the threads here..One if U are rich..2,If u have Da skills...U can survive n live in Beatiful Japan..
