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!

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*

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...? 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! But it was cool and he eventually enjoyed his stay. (in DC) _________________

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! _________________

Well for me It actually Kind Da same living anywhere in this part of Da world...Bad Neighbour, Not so U call friendly Neighbourhood..From My nice experience..In tokyo..PPl are Da same as in NY,They walk fast catching time searching for money..Ppl are passing by using variety of fashion..Lots of store n cafe...Nice shops...Da girls look good looks bad mix up randomly..Have nice place to eat in deli..
well Da difference is IN TOkyo, No taxi messed up screaming their way out...U just really blend with Da environment why cause U watch alot of Jdrama series..Da girl,etc...and in countryside...Ppl are just so friendly again even to gaijin...don't know they act to american..maybe I am asian too but again It is worth it man..U really like Da place n [ Even if not for DA girls ] U'll sure have a mind or two to live there...
Dat's da good news
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..
Well for Gaijin dislike kind of thing...If u Luv Da culture n try to blend in [ SUpoose U have Japan Gf ] U definetly try hard ne....U'll doing fine man. SO keep hoping man without hope we just same as being dead ne
