I`m now married, and *own* a home. I`m willing to answer pretty much any questions about real life in Japan - not the English teacher in Tokyo type stuff... Because that`s only like 0.1% of reality. (Not to offend any of the English teachers in Tokyo or anything though.)
We usually try and help other people who are/were in the same boat as I was when I came to Japan (Bad family life, etc), but last year a girl we let stay with us really screwed us over so we have stopped for the time being. But I really want to help people, so if I can in any way please ask!
(Oh, and I think I mentioned a lot more stuff in my intro in the introductions thread, so...)

Hi Nyororin!
I want to live in Japan but I'm not sure in what place to live. I was thinking maybe if I could live with you. Right now I go to high school and I'll be graduating from high school in 2008. I'm planning to go to Japan when I graduate from college.My question is: Are you still going to be living in the same place by the time I finish college or are you planning of moving to a different location? I'll probably finish college in 5 years.
