well it ain't like this is a big deal to begin with but my two cents ... i would try to meet up with her definitely because if you only spoke to her for 2.5 milliseconds when you were in japan you should meet face to face again and avail urself of that opportunity -- to try and get to know one another a lil' better so even if you do keep in touch thereafter via e-mail there's a lil more substance to your communications ..if you don't care...and then this whole discussion is moot and doesn't deserve this much "air time."

u'll be cool whatever you decide...it's not like you met the heir to the throne of japan...you're just a guy, and she's just a girl.....it's the world we live in.... :bonk:

glad you thought so....it's all just to show you how wacky them japanese folk can get......and to illustrate the fact that they love buddha very much....i.e. see town of kamakura.....

you gotta go their next and bring back ryoko so she can sit on that white chair you have hermitically sealed in a negative atmosphere chamber in your garage...

yeah...and i will try to get Nana back too, along with a few nice hot j-idols...ok, better not get nana too upset... :hehe:

Those japanese folk can be interesting, once saw a book at Borders bookstore, it was in the humor section, and i was looking at a book on the wacky japanese inventions, that really never made it, and i can see why, weird weird stuff, one was an alarm clock that was around your next or something and had these clips that somehow kept your eyes open so you wouldn't fall asleep, another was a cane-like device to keep you upright so you could nap standing up on the train, so bizarre, there was even more weird stuff i cannot quite remember. It was so funny too, i can cracking up laughing in the bookstore reading it. :lol: :rofl:

well it's your call but i agree with dochira, might as well exchange a few e-mails with her prior to her arrival in soCal and try to meet up with her if she has the time...dude, you only live once and might as well give it a shot...it ain't like she's going to visit often so you might as well try!

i mean...you guys could kick it and just hang out....it's not like it's an omiai meeting, yo.

yeah, i totally agree with you on that, it's not a real big thing, but it would be nice to hook up with her and hang out. I will try to email her again, and if she replies, and keeps responding, then i may bring it up. I am just surprised that she even replied back, which was nice. She said she was leaving in about a month, or maybe less now, to San Diego for a visit. Yeah, just see how it goes with the email and maybe ask her what her plans are in SD, if the chance comes along. Did talk to her a bit longer than a few seconds, more like maybe 10 min's total. A very sweet gentle girl, with a nice beautiful smile, that is the impression she left on me :smitten: , but not too get too carried away. And like you said, i am just a guy and she is just a girl.....i think i would be just happy enough if somehow i was able to keep in contact with her as my friend.

Thanks for your support and suggestions...much appreciated.
btw: i know how some of the J-girls swoon over the "white" gaijin, but i am not sure how they react to other asians-gajin, like myself, but hope they are open to friendships with other asians that cannot really speak Japanese. I guess most of us have good tastes in girls, J-girls that is. :hehe:

@ beatakeshi
thanks for the website info, not sure how it could help me that much

@dochira, @Tu_Triky, pcmodem,
yeah thanks for your support/advice, wouldn't mind have some j-girls as friends, hard to have as friends overseas...but having a j-girl as a gf, never had the opportunity....yet.

:fingerscrossed: :bonk:
But seriously thinking of looking into some teaching in japan prg's, anyone of you have any comments or suggestions, or do you know anyone that has done, or doing it in japan currently??

This reminds me of when I was in Japan, a girl about my age was translating for us, in Shinjyuku. When we finished she asked where we were from, so I said San Diego. It ended up that she stayed in SD for 3 months, a year before. She stayed a few miles away from my house, and I found out that we had the same favorite restaurant (a local taco shop). It's a small world. I got her email and phone number, but never followed up...I have been thinking I should...Its been a year.

You should at least send an email. ... Which reminds me, I should pop an email to the Japanese tutor I had in college.

Huh?? What are you talkin' about??

You're nuts, dude. Totally nuts.

Insane, actually.
















The white chair is in my bedroom, not the garage. :hehe:

ahhh the memories of the j-girls we've met along the way....if only...
dude, send her an email today, what have you got to lose. I got lucky in that girls email reply, but she and i will keep in contact via email atleast, even if we don't meet up again in person.
yeah what a small small world. good luck. :bonk:

japanese tutor? was she a cutie? yeah, email her back.
There was there other girl i met thru someone from my community, it was j-girl visiting from Shizuoka, and i got her email, unfortunately, we lost contact after a few emails since she stopped replying, probably due to her busy schedule in pharmacy school, atleast i tried.
well, good luck in emailing her back, maybe she will continually email you back in her replies. :bonk:

Yup, but I can't do anything now, don't need to, or else it's :beatyou: :beaten: for me.

But it's great to keep in touch. If anything, it gives me a tour guide the next time I go to Japan. :D

Unless there's a veto from your significant other. :sweat:

Hey guys i'm here at the Wymdham hotel here across from Newark Airport, not japan related lol but so much has gone just being here...

I had 2 flights that were just a no go.. the 2nd time was because of the weather, which had lots of lighting..

Now at 12AM the Power Blows out at the hotel and the backup gen come on..
