Question... - 05-10-2007, 09:36 AM

Hi, Nyororin!

I'd like to ask you something, but before that I'd like to share what happened to us last year.

Before I graduated college, I think that was March, 2006, an ambassador from Japan came to our school. They came to discuss about the free trade agreement (FTA). They were like promoting Japan for having good working opportunities for new nursing graduates. They've started an open forum with an opening question: Do you like to work in Japan? Most of us answered no. Why? First, because we were required to take the Nihonggo lessons for 6 months. 2nd, because of their culture of having women as, somewhat, lower than men. Well, it brought up a heated debate.

1st question: Is it true that inequality in authority/position between male & female still exist in Japan?

2ns question: Can I still find real good friends from Japan? As in real kind Japanese people?
