Has anyone here ever been to Japan?
|
|
I myself haven't but I've seen a lot of it on learning programs,and such. Actually i had a friend who lived in Japan for most of her younger years. She's the one who got me really interested in actually learning Japanese. But so far i can only speak simple words and like one sentence. How bout you?Neh?
Kempai!!!

I was born in the phillpines (Unfortunately), but my father was in the Airforce at the time and we relocated to Misawa, Japan. So, I can contently say I've lived in Japan, before. Unfortunately, I didn't get a chance to 'properly' soak up the language but the heritage certainly did make a big influence on my life. I miss the culture, though I can't say I know all of it because Misawa was the only area in Japan that I really knew well. I visited Tokyo but this was all in the 90's, when I was a younger kid, so - most of the memories that I would've have liked to retain have blurred into obscurities.  |

Although I can't say I have been there for a long time... really lived there or anything... I have been there! And I will say, it was what I expected and more. :3 I went to Japan this past July and lived with a host family for two weeks. I have to say... I am definitely going back sometime in my life. It was just that nice. I have some pictures on my deviant art that I took that, if you want to see, I can show you. It's so nice down there! I mean, HOMG. The culture, the people... Lord, I came back with so much stuff, most of it was given to me... I'm glad I brought them some gifts from here, *U.S.A, Maine*, that they really liked. I tried almost everything. Sushi, Sashimi, Okonomiyaki, Tacoyaki.... And so many other things. |D Though I will NEVER try Banshi. Which... happens to be raw horse. -I happen to love horses very much, the thought of eating one is not entirely appealing- -I went in a group of 14, and one of my friends tried that. I don't envy her at all- We also did some Japanese Long-bow archery. I also have pictures of that. It is amazingly awesome, and I have to say, if I ever get the oppurtunity, I will get into it big time. Buy a bow, train, everything. |D I know japanese quite well...*hence why I could survive with a japanese family... they knew next to no english...* Although when it comes to Kanji, I still have a lot more to learn... When we went down there... we went to Asakusa, Tokyo, Aomori City, and Hirosaki City. -I liked Hirosaki and Aomori the best... mostly because the area was a lot like where I live *I love it here* only with a japanese twist.- ***Note: Misawa?! :D My japanese teacher is from Misawa! He's really awesome, and a great teacher, I might add. ^___^;;

@Zaiah: That sounds so cool! I wish I've been to Japan. I'm definitely going, though! Sometime in the future. For as long as I can remember, Japan has been one of the few places I've wanted to travel to. 
Still busy, but trying to stop by more. •---/zzzzzzzz> |

I went in April, and it was AMAZING! The sakura were blooming (although it rained heavily that day, so a lot had fallen by the second day...) I wish we had gotten to go to a manga store... Somehow, with all my manga/anime obsessed friends going, we always missed going to a bookstore... I saw at least 10 on just one bus ride... Moi-meme-moitie is the most amazing store ever! |

well...ive stopped at the airport in japan before to change planes! ^^ does that count?! XD  |

Re: Has anyone here ever been to Japan?

^ Haha I don't think that really counts ^ Mmmm, I just got back this past week. I was over there for about a month I think? But yeah, for those of you who want to go or ever thought about going, I strongly encourage you guys to go. It's a little pricy to stay there for a long time especially if your not staying with someone. It's really an interesting place. IMO, I think it's really the opposite of America =P It also depends on where you go too. My family mainly lives in Kanagawa-ken so when I do go over, I mainly go out around MM21 (Yokohama) or Harajuku, Shibuya and Akihabara (Tokyo). Good luck to all of you who do end up going =D |

Yep, I live here. This is my second time, my first was back a bit over a year ago when I was 15, and it was just 2 months in Osaka. I liked it so much when I got back to Australia I worked my ass off in about 6 different part time jobs (worst one was at Mcdonalds...oh dear god...) so I could come here again. So far I've been here for about 6 months, since Febuary 22nd 2008, and I'm not going home anytime soon!~ I've lived in Kyoto, Osaka, Tokyo and Nagoya. (Next month I'm going to Yokohama, which means I've been to all the major capital cities) I'd like to go to Sapporo and Hiroshima, but I don't think I can now... I plan to come back and backpack through Japan in a few years though. Even though the anime stuff is pretty expenisve here, especially at the Jump Shop or Animate, I adore it and have bought wayyy too much. ^^
