[ILOVEJAPAN]

When I said typo I was reffering to when you said

"So when i look at these Harajuku girls or Shibuya girls, I see freedom of expression. I see people following a fad till they are about 22 then putting on a suit and going to work."

That dosent make sence. Unless you meant...

"So when i look at these Harajuku girls or Shibuya girls, I DON'T see freedom of expression. I see people following a fad till they are about 22 then putting on a suit and going to work."

I wouldnt have pointed it out...I just wanted to make sure I understood what you were saying.

Ok, listen to me: I don't think Japan is some perfect place where everyone is kind and respectfull. I know thats an ignorant steriotype. But you were kind of making it sound like Japan was some awfull, trashy, place. Which simply isn't true. Yes, there is a lot of crime. But there is a lot LESS crime, and it is A LOT safer than most other modern countries. Thats all I am trying to say. I dot agree with you on a few things, but I think we are on the same page, and we are trying to say the same thing. We are just misscomunicating.

Are you sure that Japanese dont usualy speak english as a second language? Because when I was in Japan (no it was not over 6 months) everyone I talked to (under the age of...umm 4o maybe?) knew fluent english. You would probably know more than me, I'm not trying to argue with you (at the moment) I'm just asking.

One more thing (it's irelevent, I just thought I would ask since you live in Japan) is it currently possible for a foriegner to become a Japanese citzen? I heard it wasn't, but I'm not really sure how acurate my source was.
