Thanks in advanced if you know!

I feel quite the same. In fact, I'm going there in a little more than half a year. A few friends and I are planning to work there for at least half a year. I don't really know about visas etc but we do know a few families living there, and I've heard that might help if you want to stay there longer than 3 months.
Ahhh i feel so shamed, i'm a japanese american and yet don't really know anything, i don't know if you know any other japanese americans but my family and many other families stopped practising their japanese culture after and during the internment camps becuase of racism (among other things...) I REALLY wish i could help you guys with stuff but sadly i can't. Although my generation (the third generation of american born poeple) has started to learn more about the culture becuase there isn't really prejudice anymore against it...... But i do know one thing, their english will make you LYAO, and its not like i'm being mean or anything becuase they don't realise they can't actually speak english becuase there isn't anyone around that really does speak english to tell them they're kinda wrong... confused? here's an example i once saw: A tissue box with cute puppies on it, and on one side of the box in pretty letter it read, made with real puppies.... so yah, i don't think they really know what that means, and there are lots of other examples :)
I dunno, i have a bunch of friends that lived in the same apartment building in japan like 10 years ago...now they all go to the same school here...how weird is that...
i guess you have the traditional side versus the "new age" side of culture...innovation redux?

I want to Go to Japan so badly, except the only thing, is that I am more facinated by Japan in the 1930's -ish then now. Back then there was geishas walking around and they were so beautiful. I have done some research on the Japanese culture and geishas (I fell in love with geishas after I saw the movie memoirs of a geisha.) but I would like to know about it from a Japanese persons point of view.
I guess you could call me a japanese wannabe. I so greatly want to become a geisha, but it would make no sense for some american girl, never-the-less an irish american girl to become a geisha. I'm so amazed at what they can do. And how the move so smoothly...
Just the entire way everything was set up in Japan makes me so... I guess you could say jealous, because over here we're all overweight cuz of all this fast food but the chances of you seeing some overweight person in Japan are pretty slim. At least from what I know.

I like Japanese culture as well and I also what to learn more about it (hence fourth why I'm taking Japanese next year), but I don't know too much about the culture, other then what I've learned from reading too many mangas
I share your frustration, Kairi-chan ^_^
I'm also very fascinated with the high tech side of Japan. Unfortunatly, all I can do for now is to keep learning the language and read misc\ japan-related info here and there. Hopefully one day I'll have enough money to make a tour around the whole country. (I really am a dreamer)
+ Aww.. It will (or would) be the best two weeks of my life.

I'm chinese and the japanese culture also highly intrigues me and I do know alot about it. I also really love the culture, and I also love the chinese and korean culture as well. I just love to learn about new asian cultures.
I learned japanese in school, and i did my project on the maps, main focus on japan...though i only noe those no-one-would-be-interested stuff lol, cause i only did some maps, about population densities, major industries...vegetations lol

Bleh, japanese culture itself is wonderful, as in ancient buildings, historical sites, plants and cities, are nice...
until you see the ugly side of the education system and how they pride themselves like no other... that disgusts me. Honestly.

I used to learn some Japanese in an Evening School, which was like once a week. But after 2 years I found out,... that it's actuall ....useless... Once in a week is not anough... I f you study a language you have to be there every day, or otherwise u'll lose too musch motivation,... I mean look at the Kanjis... only once a week,... are you kidding me?? It cannot be done by having lessons only once a week...
There isn't actually much left in me...... except some Phrases from various Animes

I'd love to learn more about Japan. As I like both videogames and anime very, very much, I defenitely want to spend some time in Japan. Also, the culture, the language, the food... it's so nice! And yet I don't even know more then 5 words Japanese :'(. I'd love to learn the language, but I already found out, just as Maxi-Ryu said, it's gonna take a while before knowing all the Kanji.

I heard from a well read friend that the book and movie did not fare to well in the Japanese eyes because it did not portrait the life of a Geisha accurately. By this I mean Japanese people felt it was too Americanised to do geisha justice.
Hi!... well i can´t write in english very well because i`m only speak spanish, I´m from Chile... but I`m love the japanese culture too.
Ok, see your later!
